1
00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.500
You have already had a hyaluronic
acid treatment in your knee.

2
00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:10.920
Perhaps symptoms have returned, or
you are wondering what comes next.

3
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.760
Before considering another
treatment, it is worth taking

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:21.480
a fresh look at your progress so far, your
current health and your personal goals.

5
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:27.780
How did you feel after your last treatment?
What became easier in daily life,

6
00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:34.320
and how long did you notice a change? Did
you have any symptoms after the injection?

7
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:38.600
Bring any notes you have. If you
did not notice an improvement,

8
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.600
that is also important when
deciding what to do next.

9
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.520
Bring the records of your previous
treatment. The exact product name,

10
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.240
the treatment date and the joint
that was treated are important.

11
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.660
Hyaluronic acid products
differ. Recommendations about

12
00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:03.300
use or repeat treatment cannot simply be
transferred from one product to another.

13
00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:08.240
Tell the practice about any new
illnesses, allergies, infections

14
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.860
or skin changes around your knee. Bring
an up-to-date list of all your medicines,

15
00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:21.020
including blood thinners. Do not stop
taking anything on your own. The treatment

16
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:27.540
team will assess whether the specific
product is suitable in these circumstances.

17
00:01:27.580 --> 00:01:32.680
A fixed schedule does not replace this
assessment. Whether another treatment

18
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:38.140
makes sense, and when it might be given,
needs to be discussed individually.

19
00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:43.380
Your progress, the medical examination
and the instructions for the intended

20
00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:49.860
product all matter. Returning pain alone
does not determine the next treatment.

21
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:56.320
Ask about the expected benefits,
possible risks, alternatives and costs.

22
00:01:56.360 --> 00:02:02.520
Also explain what you would like to do
more easily in daily life. Discuss the role

23
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.000
of suitable physical activity, exercise
and other measures in your treatment plan.

24
00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:15.440
Another injection is one possible decision
to discuss, not an automatic next step.

25
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:22.380
If you develop severe or clearly
worsening pain and a hot, swollen knee, do

26
00:02:22.420 --> 00:02:27.840
not simply wait for the next treatment
appointment. Seek urgent medical assessment,

27
00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:33.700
even if you do not have a fever. The
cause needs to be established first.

28
00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:37.160
Three questions can help at your appointment.

29
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.620
What has the previous treatment
changed in my daily life?

30
00:02:40.660 --> 00:02:46.740
What does the practice need to know about
my health today? And which next steps fit

31
00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:54.240
my symptoms and goals? Write down the
answers and the plan you agree on together.

32
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.760
Crespine Gel. This information
does not replace medical advice.

33
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.920
Discuss your symptoms and
treatment options with your doctor.
