PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection?

My hand doctor offered PRP as one of the alternatives for my CMC arthritis, but said the research is mixed on effectiveness and still considered experimental so insurance wouldn't cover. He said a treatment for one hand would be over $700 out of pocket, but there was a doctor within their practice that could do it if that's the choice I made. I decided to go a different direction.

@granddilulsion can I ask what you decided to go with and has it helped.

@granddilulsion What direction did you choose? I chose CMC surgery using the "tightrope" procedure. Both surgeries, by two different doctors several years apart, were successful. While the recovery was not fun, and took several months, I would do it again in a minute.
