Traveling With My Knee

Traveling can be a challenge if you have knee pain. Here are some tips that could make your travel or vacation more enjoyable.

• Plan ahead. Advance preparations are important for any trip or vacation. Be realistic about what things you can do safely and comfortably
  
  
• Pick a vacation tour that meets your needs. Research the amenities, transportation and lodging options offered by different tours. Do this online or with your travel agent
  
  
• Request assistance in advance. If you need wheelchair assistance at the airport, request it with the airline when you book your trip
  
  
• Carry more medication than you need. So you won't be caught short if you extend your trip
  
  
• Carry a short medical history of yourself. This should include a list of your prescriptions and your doctor's name and phone number
  
  
• Be practical about luggage. Use luggage with wheels and only carry on things that you'll need during the flight
  
  
• Wear comfortable shoes. Traveling usually involves walking, so you should wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes

Relax, enjoy and don't overdo it!

SUPARTZ is indicated for treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen.

You should not use SUPARTZ if you have infections or skin diseases at the injection site or allergies to poultry products. SUPARTZ is not approved for pregnant or nursing women, or children. Risks can include general knee pain, warmth and redness or pain at the injection site. Full prescribing information can be found here or by contacting customer service at 800-396-4325.
