Hello - I am new to this but you all seem so close and helpful! I need a TKR according to 2 docs. The last one tried Synvisc to see if he could prolong my replacement. After the first shot I noticed a few excema blisters on my hands, within 3 days my hands were broke out all over. I am allergic to formaldehyde and Synvisc contains it! Most doctors do not give much consideration to my allergy as most people think of building materials and dead people. I am wondering if anyone has chemical sensitivities or my allergy and how it affected their surgery? I hope I have posted this in the right spot as this is the first time in a forum like this! Thank you for all of your messages as it has let me know I am not insane with the things I have been feeling for so long!!!!
