This video features a one-month post-procedure testimonial with Dr. Don Buford and his patient, Emma, who received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in her right knee to treat generalized degenerative joint disease and a meniscus tear. Shortly after the treatment, Emma went on a cruise and successfully participated in extensive walking excursions across the Panama Canal, Costa Rica, and Colombia. She notes that even when walking on rough cobblestones in Cartagena, she experienced absolutely no pain.
Overall, Emma estimates that her knee is 90% better than it was before the procedure, primarily due to a dramatic decrease in pain that she first began to notice just two weeks after the injection. She reports that activities which used to cause severe discomfort are now pain-free, her flexibility is steadily improving, and she no longer experiences knee pain keeping her awake at night. Aside from some minor, normal lingering swelling on the side of her knee, Emma is completely off all daily pain medications and is highly pleased with her recovery.
