Are any PRP sites accepting volunteers for knee treatment? I am retired, healthy, athletic. The cost for PRP is prohibitive for me. But, I do not want to undergo joint replacement. I live in New Jersey.

It is good news for most of the people with knee joint pain BUT not for all as it looks from reading different article. Now the question is "Is it approved b FDA?" and how safe is it. Are there any side effects in the long run. I am living in Saudi Arabia hailing from India. Is it available in the middle east or in India? hmohi
