No cartilage left in knees

I'm an 85-year young senior with bad knees. I should have had them replaced years ago, but did not due to conflicting stories from TNR recipients about the success of the procedure. Is PRP a better option or should I elect to use cortisone injection procedures?

Cortisone will likely damage whatever you have left of cartilage. PRP should help somewhat if not completely as it depends upon the issues involved. I think it took away about 20% of my pain which is better than nothing. Unhappy about Medicare not wanting to go with this as a relatively inexpensive way to fix the problem. Surgery and rehab is much more expensive.
