No excuse for pain.
A 58-year-old female, she had always been active. Since last year, she began experiencing persistent knee pain that worsened with activity. Simple tasks like climbing stairs or getting up from a chair became more difficult, and she often found herself sitting out of family outings due to discomfort.
Frustrated and concerned about her declining mobility, patient saw her GP who diagnosed osteoarthritis of both knees after examination and X-ray.
Patient tried multiple physical therapy and NSAIDs with limited help.
Patient referred herself to our pain clinic. After full evaluation, our consultant recommended and performed a course of knee injections with PRP (platelet -Rich Plasma) followed by a personal rehabilitation program including low-impact activities.
Few weeks later, patient gradually noticed a significant decrease in her knee pain and she returned to her beloved gardening and now, she enjoys more time with her grandchildren.
