Out walking the dog again

Climbing stairs is relatively pain-free again.

Translated from the original German account

Some time ago, knee problems came up in a conversation with friends. Almost everyone had something to say about it. Someone in the group mentioned a hyaluronic acid treatment with Crespine Gel that required only one injection into the knee joint. Unfortunately, my right knee (osteoarthritis) was giving me quite a lot of trouble at the time, to the point that I no longer even wanted to walk the dog. I remembered the conversations about Crespine Gel, and when my orthopaedic doctor suggested a hyaluronic acid treatment, I mentioned Crespine. He did not know the product. I gave him a leaflet, and he liked the idea of the product, especially because it involved only one injection. And so did I... A short time after the injection, the pain eased noticeably... Climbing stairs is relatively pain-free again. Sometimes I even forget about my arthritic knee, and the dog is delighted... I am walking him again. A big thank you to the people who developed this product!

Knee & hip · An account about her grandmother

A family perspective

We were thoroughly convinced by the results: my grandmother's pain gradually decreased, and she became active and full of life.

My grandmother has osteoarthritis and has suffered for years from severe joint pain in her knees and hips. Various medical and alternative treatments had only eased it briefly and temporarily. In 2013, following a friend's recommendation, I looked into Crespine Gel and told my grandmother about it. In consultation with her doctor, we decided to buy and try one injection of Crespine Gel. We were thoroughly convinced by the results: my grandmother's pain gradually decreased, and she became active and full of life. She said she felt like a new person. In the following years, we kept ordering and using Crespine Gel, initially two injections a year and later one a year. My grandmother's doctor followed her progress and recommended the product to other patients as well.

Knee · Personal account

Taking treatment one step at a time

I had one knee injected, and after pain that same evening, there was a clear improvement the next day.

I am 70 and have osteoarthritis in both knees. After major spinal surgery six months ago, I do not want to have my knees operated on yet. I heard about Crespine Gel on a television programme and discussed it with my doctor. I had one knee injected, and after pain that same evening, there was a clear improvement the next day. I am sure I will need a second injection, as my osteoarthritis is already advanced. I will also have my other knee injected to avoid an operation for the time being.

My mother is 84 and has advanced osteoarthritis in her right knee. She had her first Crespine Gel injection in February 2013, and the second, Crespine Gel Plus, a year later. For the first three days after the injection, she has pain and difficulty putting weight on her right leg. After that, she can move normally again, without pain. Her doctor recommended Crespine Gel to her. I am glad that it works so quickly and lasts so long.

A friend recommended the product to me. My orthopaedic doctor injected it. The treatment was brief and painless. Since treatment with Crespine Gel+, I have been able to be active in sport without pain again, and that has now lasted for months!
