Thanks so much. Interestingly, the first of two surgeons I planned to consult, very highly recommended, sat me down and went over my MRI and told me my issue is a torn meniscus that was missed by the radiology analyst. I had a meniscus trim on my other knee years ago and though this felt the same way. So after all that, in process of scheduling the meniscus cleanup. Oye.

Thanks. My ortho said give one shot of cortisone before jumping to PRP. Thinking on cortisone has changed in last decade. Had shot this morning, so we’ll see. Studies on PRP show best results with 2-3 treatments months apart. Good on Rainier. Regularly ski up there on Frying Pan or Muir to Nisquslly Chute – to bridge. Hopefully back at it soon
