I take glucosamine (1500mg) and fish oil tablets (3 per day) for arthritis in both knees. One without the other is much less effective.  There are a few days when I need a couple of paracetemol.  I've taken to substituting a couple of spoonfuls of extra virgin olive oil for the fish oil and it works just as well.  I'm pretty much pain free

Thank you, Thaibubunny is a very cute ID.

 Heard this glucosamine comes in high strength Flexacile Ultra.

Also I'm research regenokine ($10,000) and PRP($500)  therapy in Europe.

Appears Thailand uses PRP or CRP plasma injection for cosmetic options versus arthritis.

  Regenokine injections has shown to reverse and even cure arthritis is some professional athletes but can cost unto $10,000.

Queen Savang Vadhana, Lerddin, Police Hospital are all govt hospitals. You can't just walk in and get what you want, you have to spend the better part of a whole day, sometimes more, go through a lot of red tape and be mainly treated by interns/redidents in training..under the supervision of senior docs like Dr. Nitti and Dr. Wicharn but these supervising professors are stretched pretty thin and patients get little face time with them.

They'll have their own set protocols and these may or may not allow for you to get PRP. It is quite different from a private care setting.

You can try to see if Lerdsin has an after hours clinic and if do whether you can meet Dr. Wicharn there (this is where he is based). No guarantees, and even an after hours clinic will be crowded with long waits.

It is hard to impossible to get on demand treatments from a government hospital, even accessing the senior docs directly in an after hours clinic. The regs and protocols don't alliw gor it. Private care is expensive but in private settings the doctors have complete leeway in how to treat (sometimes a good thing and sometimes not).

Dr. Nitti at Ramkamhaeng may be your best option.

Sheryl,

Do you know the cost in Bangkok for a PRP injection in knee?

I understand. Thank you for the details, Sheryl. It's very helpful for me as I try to arrange a long-term treatment schedule. I will try the government hospitals to test my luck. If I learn anything from there or elsewhere, I will post it here for reference. Although it doesn't seem like orthopedic PRP is popular yet in Bangkok (the lack of replies to my message is yet another sign), I would guess that it will become more common. In Europe now, it is a fairly common, cost-effective, and in many cases (including mine) successful treatment for joint issues.

Thank you for your kind help.
