I have chondromalacia patella and have been suffering from knee joint pain for the past 2 years. Can Hyalone 60 mg injection help reduce the pain?
Chondromalacia patella is a condition where the cartilage under the kneecap becomes soft and irritated, especially when climbing stairs, squatting, or sitting for long periods. Since you have been dealing with this for 2 years, it is important to focus on long-term management rather than only short-term pain relief. Hyalone 60 mg injection (Hyaluronic acid) is sometimes used to improve lubrication and reduce friction inside the knee joint, which may help ease pain and improve movement in some people. However, the results are not the same for everyone, and in chondromalacia patella, the benefit can be limited compared to other knee conditions, such as arthritis. Most patients get better results when the injection is combined with regular physiotherapy, especially exercises that strengthen the thigh muscles and improve kneecap alignment. Weight control and avoiding deep squatting or kneeling also help a lot. It is best to consult an orthopaedic specialist who can properly assess your knee and determine whether this injection is suitable for your case.
