Durolane costs £200 per injection in the UK but is available on the NHS
Of course you can. Durloane (hyaluronic acid) is a naturally occurring chemical that helps to lubricate a joint and by adding some more 'lubricant' in the early stages of arthritis may not be a bad idea.
no longer from my pct why
Is now available in australia from 2013. It is being distributed by Smith and Nephew.
Durolane is a type of viscosupplement injection used to treat knee osteoarthritis. It contains a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid that helps to lubricate and cushion the joint, reducing pain and improving mobility. It is typically administered by a healthcare professional.
My father is having this done, in his situation it is due to degenerative arthritis that cannot be helped by pain medication or any type of cortisone or gel injections. The ankle is basically "bone on bone." The pain is excruciating and to walk more than about 20 steps is unbearable. This is a relatively new surgery from what I have read and is not meted out lightly.
not if you are using the general medical services (NHS in Northern Ireland), but if you have a private prescription from your GP there is no problem
There is no difference. A sprained ankle can also be known as an ankle sprain, twisted ankle, rolled ankle, ankle ligament injury, or ankle injury. It's when one or more ligaments are torn or partially torn where they are connected to your ankle bone.
you have to have 6 injections
