PRP - Platelett Rich Plasma Injections

after giving a pint of blood, then you have to give fat. they practically liposuction it out. i asked them to take more, but they didn't need it and it hurt anyway.
they mix the blood and the fat into a magic machine and then they put it into syringes and pump it deep into the joint or tissue in question. it felt like a lead weight. and, it hurt.

four times around the shoulder. the front was the worst, with all the soft tissue. sort of like a burning, twisting feeling. it's made worse by the pressure. now it's all very sore. they are not shy in telling you that it will hurt ALOT tomorrow.

i estimate that i will be crabby tomorrow.
i'm just sayin'.

Crane did my knee with a similiar procedure. It healed my 2cm tear in record time.

it's all good. i'm not nearly as bad off as i could've been.

the combination of this and a cold and a stomach bug has me pretty laid out, but the shoulder is not too bad.

Thank you for this great information. I’ve only had one PRP Injectionin my hip one time. I’ve been considering it for other issues and this information has been very helpful, things I didn’t know about.
