Radiation synovectomy? A Chick’s message to you all:

Hi, I am being referred for radiation synovectomy on my knee after an unsuccessful surgical synovectomy. Has anyone any experience of this procedure? Thank You! xx

Have you had this procedure? Experiences or advice to share with this member? Thank you for taking the time to help answer her message. I’m attaching a link on what a synovectomy is for those of you that may not be familiar with this type of procedure for RA. I hope this finds you well. (((pain-free internet hugs)))   Here is the provided link with information on synovectomy from WebMD:
