Greg: Getting back to hiking without pain

Knee pain was cutting Greg’s hikes short. After a Cingal injection, he returned to pain-free mountain hiking within three months.

The challenge

Greg has always enjoyed an active outdoor lifestyle. After a serious cycling accident in his twenties that resulted in a hip dislocation and knee injury, he continued walking and hiking for many years. However, as he entered his fifties, knee pain and swelling began to affect his ability to enjoy mountain hikes, often leaving him with significant discomfort and stiffness afterwards.

Treatment experience

After trying painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications without lasting success, Greg received a Cingal injection as part of the management of his knee symptoms.

The outcome

Following treatment, Greg noticed a significant improvement in his knee symptoms. He was able to return to hiking without experiencing the usual pain and stiffness the following day, and after three months remained pain-free and active outdoors.

“I can now hike in the mountains and wake up the next day without discomfort. After three months, I am still pain-free and back to living the active lifestyle I enjoy.”
