I would be interested in info also. My physio in UK recommends for osteoarthritis short of having a knee replacement. Cost £400 per injection in UK. Effects are temporary, lasting 6-12 months

That’s interesting!
My UK physio told me the injections were not available on NHS as too costly. I would have to go private!
