Anyone have Hylan shots for OA (Osteoarthritis)? [View all]

These shots provide artificial joint fluid. Not the cortisone shot.

I have a torn meniscus and OA in knee. I have done 4 months of physical therapy. PT helped a LOT, but in the last month I have reached a plateau and have not seen any improvement.
My doctor says to think about the Hylan.
Other options: surgery, cortisone shot.
