I haven't even got to the point of thinking about getting my knee replaced yet. I walk several miles per day, hike in the mountains Trout fishing several times a year, shed hunt, frequent the BWCA, etc... Had my right knee scoped 2x. Keeping my options open. Wondering if it came to knee replacement, could I do what I'm doing currently

PRP is not covered by insurance but is not out of the mainstream of medicine. Both MGH and Spaulding in Boston recommend it and the Wellesley MA clinic is amassing studies on the PRP they do, in order to get approval and insurance coverage. My local orthopedist is training to do it.
As I wrote before, it was a miracle for my daughter's knee and SI jpint after years of unproductive PT. Her PRP porcedures have lasted 10 years. She had surgery at age 10 for vertical tightening of the knee and the PRP accomplished lateral tightening of the joint.
