This video features a patient testimonial from a 75-year-old patient named Steve Bradley, shared by Dr. Don Buford.
Key Highlights:
- Condition & Background: Steve suffered from mid-range right knee arthritis that began suddenly six months prior, causing severe aching throughout his leg and an uncomfortable restless feeling at night. He managed it with over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen and Aleve, and even tried targeted gym exercises, but found no relief.
- The Procedure: Dr. Buford performed a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection in his right knee. The patient noted that he was initially very anxious about the injection hurting, but he didn't even feel the needle go in.
- Recovery Timeline: Steve reported feeling some immediate relief the first few days, followed by a slight increase in discomfort over the next five to six days, before the knee steadily turned a corner and continued to improve.
- Results: At his one-month follow-up milestone, Steve rates his overall improvement at a full 100%. He can bend his knee, squat, and move around just as easily as he could five years ago, completely free of the radiating leg pain and nighttime aching.
- Cost & Value: The patient notes that the procedure cost $650 out of pocket and emphasizes that the pain relief has been well worth the investment.
