Much less pain and no grinding when combined with physical therapy. For me relief has only lasted 5 months but I intend to get it done again in November. Prp is not covered by insurance and my doctor charges $950 per shot. I hope that helps.

I will testify that PRP is great for some like my son, who damaged his knee when he fell ,and not so great for others like me who is over 75 and has osteoarthritis. I also have had cortisone which worked for about 3 or 4 months and 5 injections of hyaluronic acid which did little or nothing. I have had "Soft Wave" and other non invasive frequency therapies. I still walk like a duck and rely upon my biceps to carry my weight when doing stairs with a railing. Will I have surgery? No. I have seen others who have had knee surgery still complaining that their legs are not in great shape. Pain is something I am living with but so far I am refusing to stop trying to do many of the things I like to do. I feel very limited though-not a good thing at all.
