Hi insickness,

I've never had more than a cortisone injection in my knees, hip, and shoulder. I have heard too many mixed reviews on PRP and stem cell injections and have stayed away.

And these shots are all just band aids, eh? I'll wager in most cases the joint in question needs to be replaced (knee, hip, shoulder).

The technology and methods for replacement are very advanced. Even so, some people are simply afraid of the surgery - or they're afraid of the rehab. Alas, the rehab exercises for the 6 to 8 weeks post-op are necessary for a good outcome.

The pain in my knees, hip, and shoulder stopped after replacement and rehab. I'm very happy with the outcomes.

Joe
