A large bb'er gets these injections in his shoulder and a knee.Says it takes about 3 weeks to work and smooths things out.What have you seen regarding this stuff,is it common?

Synvisc is bascially a long chain derivative of hyluronic acid which has been used for some time now in treating joint issues in humans and animals. Seems to be effective depending on the condition.
