My Dr combines Hyrolonic Acid and my PRP in one injection and has kept me from Knee replacement for the last 6 years and I’ve been bone on bone for 24 years.

I do knees over toes, it may have a similar mechanisms that makes it work. strengthen the area around the knee but not the conventional way.

PT has worked the best for me...got rid of the brace and built up muscles around knee and feel so much more stable and pain free

[@cartmansuperstar]
