Barry Buchanan – Injections for Arthritic Knee Pain

Image of Barry BuchananI’m 71 years old and have been a patient of Dr. Boyd W. Haynes III for over 25 years.

I enjoy being physically active, and, as a result, my body has paid the price. Dr. Haynes has always been keenly aware of my desire to get back into action as soon as possible after injuries, mishaps and age-related conditions.  He has performed orthoscopic surgery on both knees (running related), surgically removed calcium build up in my big toe (golf cart accident), treated my shoulder’s AC joint (racquetball) and recently treated 5 broken ribs (cycling).  Dr. Haynes followed up each surgery/procedure with a prescribed regimen of exercise and/or rest, as necessary, to resume my normal activities.

In recent years I’ve had a chronic, though tolerable osteoarthritic condition in both knees.  Although periodic cortisone injections helped for a while, within less than three months, the pain and locking up of the knee joint would return, making normal physical activities, including golf, difficult to perform at a comfortable level.

Dr. Haynes recommended that I begin a series of three Euflexxa knee injections.  The injections were completed in April 2018 and six months later I am still pain free and as active as like to be!

It’s been a great experience to have such a knowledgeable, professional and caring Orthopedic Surgeon, such as Dr. Haynes, take genuine interest in, and positive action toward my health and physical resiliency.

I’m a most lucky and grateful patient.

Thank you Dr. Haynes!
