Anyone done prp injections
I'm 47 now. When I was 17 I tore my ACL, kept playing contact sports and tore meniscus at 18. The torn meniscus was removed and ACL repaired also at 18.
Several minor injuries over the years. Bone to bone at places, arthritis and bone spurs at places. Then last year I tore more meniscus and the patella tendon. The tendon was repaired. (Yes I know i should stop martial arts and skiing, but I like doing stuff with kiddo)
Currently I have constant low grade pain which gets worse when I excerise it. They tried cortisone a few months ago, I got about 2 weeks of relief from that.
Ortho is sending me to a specialist that does synvisc and prp. I tried synvisc several years ago and got short term relief from that, so I'm leaning towards prp.
I'm wondering if anyone has had prp what were the injections like? Did you have to stop excerising for a period right after. In other words what was your experience like and any advice on what to ask the Dr about?
Thanks in advance for insights.
