had Arthroscopic knee surgery and PRP injections during the procedure. i’m 1 month post surgery doing 3 days PT every week. swelling is nearly gone. range of motion is back but with slight discomfort. quad activates back to normal.
Unfortunately, Medicare and other insurance don't pay for PRP. I am managing bone-on-bone arthritis with gel injections along with physical, cold laser, and shock wave therapy.
I’m prime target for this video. I have mild arthritis on both knees and considered the arthroscopic cleaning that insurance covers.
Wow...such a wonderful information !!
It would seem sensible to get it cleaned up before PRP. My knees make crunching/mushing sounds when bending. Must be pretty messy in there.
Having knee pain this was very good information thank you
I appreciate your information. I’m trying postpone my second TKA and am considering PRP. My Dr basically rolled his eyes when I asked about it, haha. looking for someone who supports it, he said he’d find me “someone” but I’d like it done right. 😊
I had three Arthroscopic surgery first one 2005 for injury then 2007 and took viscous supplement in left knee from 2010 to 2022.Had 3rd Arthroscopic surgery due to constant pain large meniscus tear in April 22.Took one PRP in August 22.Still with pain lateral and back of knee.Scheduled for Genicular Nerve Ablation and I cancelled.Going to take 2nd PRP after seeing your video.I got only 2ml
Could you do both?
I had a cortisone injection and it helped for like 3 weeks after that it started to hurt again and the worst thing is the fatigue and puffy eyes. I wanna try everything cause I hate it so much.
PRP did nothing for me, neither did cortisone or durolane injections.
I have a doubt, how will PRP work in changing biomechanics 😅😅
What abt Orthokine treatment.
Insurance won't cover it. When will medical professionals advocate for their patients? It's in your financial interest
Wow, thank you
Good Job
My insurance doesn't cover PRP
