How does your knee feel once it reaches the year of recovery?

I opted out on cortisone shots and went to Gel shots then 3 PRP shots over a period of 9 months. I’m doing PT and experiencing improvement. They wanted me to consider TKR but now I am able to do stairs. I’m hopeful that I can continue to improve.

@rosema4 I took a couple of the shots over 3 years ago, but shots didn't work for me.
I am glad I had TKR, but the recovery has been challenging, definitely worth it now

@rosema4 I had a set of gel shots after the cortisone stopped working but they didn’t do anything for me. My dr said that some people have good luck with them and others don’t, so I guess that is me! What are PRP shots? I’m so glad that you are experiencing improvement and that you are having success with the stairs. I’m sure that PT is also helping. I should consider going back to PT! All my best wishes to you!
