PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection?

I buy the dried bitter melon when my garden is done. Asian grocery stores sell it fresh. I buy the dried bitter melon on Amazon. Just stick in water and I use it in cooking. My knee became bad from repeated steroid shots when I did martial arts unaware that these do destroy cartialage. I have my limitations and I accept that as opposed to getting a replacement which I can't do as I am extremely hypersensative.

Dried bitter melon sounds like a good substitute for fresh. Good tip.
I stopped all steroids years ago because of side effects. Steroids are only a treatment which help temporarily, but detrimental with side effects in the long run.
I was involved in high impact arobics which was popular in the 80's, we would do 1,000 butt squats. Super damaging to the knees. Yet for some that wouldn't matter. In my case I developed condromalacia patella. Today the ortho says I have arthritis in my knees.
My Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD, prevents me from getting knee replacements.
