Week 3, Gel Injections

Week 3, I normally received my gel injections on Monday's but this week I will be getting them on Thursday.  I explained to the medical technician that my first injection made my knee's feel wobbly but that I was completely pain free for two days. He thought that being pain free was a good sign and stated again that most people do not get those results until the third injection.  He did put less of the gel in my knee last week and there was no ultrasound machine to help him guide the gel into my knee.  I have had knee pain all week but again in comparison to what the pain was like before the gel injections it is VERY minimal.  I am anticipating my third round of injections on Thursday.  I am curious to find out if running or other activity causes the gel to leave the knee at a faster rate.  You can only receive the gel injections once every 6 months and I want it to last as long as possible.
