I have arthritis in my right hip along with some degeneration. Getting close to bone on bone, but not yet. The first shot I got took about 4-5 days to start working. It did wonders. Lasted about four months. Doc said future injections should last longer. He was right. Now they last 9 months or so.
One word of caution, if you have diabetes, your blood sugars will jump for 3-4 days. Not a big deal, just need to plan for it.
Thanks. That is encouraging.
