I started with cortisone which worked for about a year. My second cortisone shot then worked for a few weeks.
We then went with Synvisc which also worked well, until it didn’t; about 14 months.
I then had a PRP injection, which resulted in significant discomfort for 2-3 days. Once the swelling went down, it’s been great for close to a year. I know a total knee replacement is in my future but I’ll put it off while I get relief via injections.
Are platelet rich plasma injections covered by insurance these days?
