Knee PRP or exosome for knee cap arthritis

stephvin — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 20:35:01 +0800

Diagnosed with knee cap arthritis at the age of 32. Female with sedentary lifestyle (rare high impact games) of 58kg, 160cm which is slightly plump but not obese. I would love to ask for recommendations if anyone had tried prp for knees or exosome. I'm working in Penang and it has been hard to find a reliable doctor who provides alternative non invasive treatment. I went to one after googling and it feels like the doctor is just upselling his treatment that he is the best doctor in northern region but his clinic equipment does look very subpar and worries me. All his reviews are paid and recorded reviews. Would love to know if anyone has any recommendations. In worst case KL/selangor works for me as well. Thank you!

Backstory:
Visited a specialist in Sunway when there was a nagging pain first started on left knee and was brushed off with nothing since i'm still young, maybe just inflammation. My left knee started to have cracking sounds few months later and had MRI done in HSC, specialist detected knee cap has gone to stage 4 arthritis, apparently due to knee shaft is shallow hence my knee cap moves exceptionally a lot when I move. Advised to just do exercise since too young for surgery, implants does have a lifespan.

My both knees are now screwed and went to Penang Island Hospital for 3rd opinion and again the specialist dismissed me with no arthritis with xray done and too young to have arthristis. Currently having a hard time even with one step up and can't really exercise due to the pain and weight is piling. My 4th opinion was a normal clinic in Penang who provides prp/exosome treatment and from normal inspection states that my knees are both screwed but can recover with prp x maybe 4 sessions with lower recovery rate or 2x exosome treatment. Exosome cost up to 8 to 10k per knee. Prp probably 4k per knee

Taman Amanputra vs Cyberjaya Property

stephvin — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 18:26:29 +0800

I've been considering if i should look at the double storey link house in Taman Amanputra (RM470k) when the new highway has just opened. Seems like the area does not fetch a high rental rate despite near to cyberjaya. On the contrary, seems like cyberjaya might be able fetch the same price for condo. Anyone thinks which is worth investing? Worth the risk?
