Yeah but while PGE2 promotes cartilage repair, it also plays roles in inflammation, fever, and gastrointestinal issues. If PGE2 levels rise too high or in the wrong context, it could cause unwanted inflammation or side effects similar to NSAIDs (e.g. stomach irritation).
I think I'd be okay with some stomach irritation to regain use of my knees in my old age.
