Cortisone injections will help at first for varying lengths of time but there will come a time when they no longer work. Same thing with hyaluronic acid injections. Stem cell treatment only works for some people and seldom lasts that long. They are certainly options to try before having a TKR though. Good luck!

Your info is so invaluable to my situation. The two procedures that you listed are the two that I am looking at. Can you expand on the length of time that you had relief of pain after each procedure. May I ask the degree of pain on a scale of 1 to five, five being the most pain. Finally. a very Happy and HEALTHY New Year to you and your great family. Keep in touch.

i found the combination of stem cells and PRP worked the best. Yes, its expensive. I had my TKR paid for and now i suffer daily from that mistake. Its your call.
