I've had chronic should dislocations since I was a teenager. Sounds like I'm a good candidate!
Amazing
I have a grade 3 tear on my MPFL. Should my MPFL heal/reconnect after PRP?
Is it good for disc bulge radicular pain ?
How long for a plantar fascia tear to heal with prp? What’s your protocol after the injection?
I am a 52 years old woman and have a right hip joint labral tear for several months. Would the PRP injection be good for me? Usually, how many times do people need it to be completely healed?
How much does of platelets is injected during prp?
I have a torn meniscus. I just got my second shot. Pain is gone. It worked for me.
Hi Nick- thanks for sharing, that is awesome news!! Take care. :)
I had my knee scoped for torn cartilage in knee cap five years ago.I also currently have a torn meniscus and same knee.
I am going for my first PRP treatment soon.I have my fingers crossed.
How will I know if I need a second treatment?
Great....did they inject you on the inner or outer part of the knee?
I believe I have a slight tear On the short head tendin of my bicep. Iv had prp before for my other shoulder, I did 6 treatments and did it around the whole shoulder . I think the doctor did that to try to stabilize but also I think it wasn’t necessary considering the pain was only in the front (bicep tendon/ possible labrum area).
Also Instopped working out for over a year after that because it just felt weak and definitely very painful after the shots every first few weeks .
If I wanted to just get the short head tendon injected with a less aggressive approach would that be possible. I went to another doctor and it seems he might do the frok and back of my shoulder .
Frankly I think it’s overkill and not really necessary and all it will do is injure nonInjured parts of my body and also delay healing . But I don’t want to tell doctors what to do but it’s also my body and I know where the pain is and what it was like to just inject it all around .
Also would prp work with an abdominal tear?
How is the clinical history throughout these 7 years up to today?
Do you think PRP can provide some benefit for severe hip arthritis? I'm trying to avoid or delay the usual course of cortisone injections followed by hip replacement.
Hi danwoodcock, Thanks for the question. Sorry to hear that you're still having pain after a hip replacement. We understand your hesitancy toward degenerative effects of cortisone. We treat patients here after they are still suffering with chronic pain after a joint replacement and we'd be happy to review your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for our center with PRP Prolotherapy, traditional dextrose Prolotherapy, or other regenerative solution. If you'd like our help, please feel free to reach out. Wish you all the best in health and getting back to your activities without pain!
I was told that my MRI looks like I have a bone spur pressing on the Bursa and potentially a partial tear (rotator cuff). Do you think the bone spur would be a condition that would not be worth PRP treatment?
Hi Craig, Thanks for your question. Sorry to hear about your shoulder, but glad that you are looking into regenerative treatment options. In our office, we are always trying to get to the root cause of the problem. With bone spurs, they are formed as one way the body tries to stabilize an unstable joint. In our office, we stabilize the joint with regenerative injection therapy (Prolotherapy) and that can include PRP among other solutions. This helps repair the soft tissue of the joint, including the rotator cuff, and stabilize the joint so the bone spur growth stops. We help many people avoid surgery, and would be happy to review your case in more detail to see if you're a good candidate. If you would like to discuss your case, you can email us privately at info@caringmedical.com and send us a copy of your MRI report. Hope we can help! Take care.
Hi, can you please tell me if you inject pro on the medial or lateral part of the knee,,,,thank you?
Hi Joe, Yes, in fact we just uploaded a video where we discuss the importance of this for meniscal tears, specifically. You may find that helpful. th-cam.com/video/csOXC-zFsyU/w-d-xo.html If you have questions about your individual case, please reach out to us directly. Take care.
I've been diagnosed with osteitis pubis and have a stress fracture on my left pelvic bone along with groin pain. Do you believe this would help me? I have done other things doctors have told me such as cortisone injection, rehab, rest and oral steroids. Nothing seems to be helping. Recently visited a well known surgeon in Stlouis. He recommended trying active release therapy and if that didn't work looking into prp. Could. I do ART and prp at the same time?
Hi eHalo87, Sorry to hear about the pain you have been dealing with, but glad that you learned about regenerative options. We would be happy to help you. Our specialists have successful non-surgical options (including PRP and PRP Prolotherapy) that work great for osteitis pubis. We would be happy to learn more about your case in order to give you proper advice, we could see you in one of our offices. If you would like to discuss your case privately, please reach out to us directly at info@caringmedical.com or call us at 708-393-8272. Take care for now, and hope to help you very soon! Thank you for reaching out.
I have torn glut med and glut min tendons and also a torn labrum (not detached) I had a PRP injection and it was the MOST painful thing I've ever experienced and I've had 2 children, so that is saying a lot. The doc DID NOT numb the area and I had to basically be "held down" for her to complete the procedure. Then they decided they didn't have enough blood to do a second injection. So they tried to take more blood from my arm and they said because my body had "stressed"so badly from the injection my Platelets were clotting and basically the second blood draw couldn't be used. I was crying and my entire body was shaking during the procedure and I could barely stand afterwards. They had to take me to my car in a Wheel chair. WHY can't this be done under anesthetics? She told me the PRP and the anesthetics don't "work" together..I would NEVER go through that again. This Doc works with Professional Athletes in Pitts PA and supposedly a top Doctor....hmmmmm with NO compassion. She kept telling me I know this hurts if you need to curse at me go ahead...hahaha like that would take the pain away!!
Hi DJ polly 43, Sorry that your treatment was so painful. If you would like us to review your case, we would be happy to help. Feel free to reach out directly at info@caringmedical.com. Our office offers a variety of methods that help patients through the treatment, including numbing injections, pre-medication, nitrous oxide (just like at a dentist's office), and even, in very rare cases, conscious sedation. Wish you the best in finding the treatment that works to help you repair the labral and muscle tears. Take care for now.
I've read that combining PRP with prolotherapy along with certain solutions can be associated with debridement which may not be desirable in that situation, any thoughts or was that a misunderstanding?
Thanks for the question. Sounds like perhaps a misunderstanding. PRP is a form of Prolotherapy in an of itself. Prolotherapy is just the umbrella term for regenerative injection treatments that stimulate the body to heal. PRP is a type of Prolotherapy that uses the specific part of the blood (Platelets) to achieve this. You can feel free to check out our research on these treatments on AboutProlotherapy.com. hope this helps. Take care.
Which is better for joint instability due to injured ligaments, dextrose or PRP?
Prp
Is PRP successful for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome? I have partial dislocations of pretty much most major joints, spine and ribcage issues. Is it something that will help?
Hi ladykickz, Thanks for reaching out. We have seen patients who just received one or two shots of PRP and did not find it beneficial. The way we utilize PRP is in a more comprehensive injection method, called H3 Prolotherapy. PRP plus other solutions are used in and around joints to treat the ligaments. For EDS, it is especially important to have ligament strengthening/tightening to stop dislocations. If you would like us to review your case in more detail and see if you are a good candidate for our treatments, we'd be happy to. You can reach out to us directly through our website or info@caringmedical.com. Wish you all the best!
I have tendinosis on both of my knees. have you guys treated anyone with
degenerative tendon pain? thanks for the video
+Moises Vazquez Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear about what you're dealing with, but you're on the right path. Degenerated tendons and ligaments need regeneration. That is exactly what we do every day Regenerative injection treatment, and we have a LOT of experience with knee tendinosis. If you'd like to speak more in detail with one of our team to see how we can help, please call us anytime at 708-848-7789 or email us directly and we'll get you the help you need: info@caringmedical.com. Look forward to talking with you more!

I am about to have PRP for shoulders. I noticed the provider does not use an ultrasound to guide the needle. She seems confident about it, but I am a little worried. Please tell me if this is industry standard, or if it is acceptable.
Hi Michael, Thanks for the question. Prolotherapy was done for decades without ultrasound guidance. Even with guidance, providers should be very well trained in anatomical landmarks. Ultrasound is something we have available in our office for cases, as needed but is not a requirement for every case or injection. Wish you all the best with your treatment series.
How did it go? Are you better ?

How about PRP for a 23 year old open decubitus wound on the small of the back. About 3" x 2" and almost to the spine in depth,
Hi Jackie, Our center specializes in treatment of joint instability-related pain conditions. PRP has many applications in other fields as well and it may be worth looking into this with a provider who specializes in regenerative medicine for advanced skin conditions. We wish you all the best in healing!
I have torn my meniscus twice on my left knee. First time repaired it, second time removed part of the meniscus. I’m 17, and still feeling pain in my knee 3 months after surgery. How long does PRP take to recover from(return back to play)? Would PRP be fine at younger ages?
HI Jacob, Sorry to hear about your repeat meniscal surgeries at such a young age. We talk a lot about meniscal injuries on our channel and on our site, if you want to learn more about our approach to meniscal tears specifically. The knee is the top area we treat and we treat a lot of young athletes, including those who have already had surgery but it failed to get them back to sports. So, that is really where regenerative treatments like PRP Prolotherapy can shine and help patients strengthen the structures of the joint that surgery does not address, such as the MCL and other ligaments and tendons that provide the joint stability. When there is joint instability, there is increased pain and abnormal wear and tear on the joint, faster path to arthritis, etc. Most patients who we see tend to need around 3-6 treatments, depending on the condition of the joint, how well they heal, level of activity, amount of time that they dedicate to rehabbing the joint, etc. We focus on LONG-TERM health of the joint. Regenerative treatments are about building stronger tissue that will last, opposite of something like cortisone which puts people at greater risk for joint damage in the long-term. If you and your parents would like our team to review your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinic, we'd be happy to help. Feel free to reach out for a more in-depth case review anytime. We wish you all the best in health and getting back to sports!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thanks for replying. Super informational. I really appreciate it. Florida is far for me and my family that live in New York. Was just wanting to learn more about PRP as a possible option. Thanks again though
Hi doctor
i have elbow pain in my both arms since last 4 years , doctor told i can go for prp . how this can help me in my tennis elbow pain ?
Hi Aman, Sorry to hear that you have been suffering with pain for so long. Glad that you found out about PRP and regenerative treatments. We would be happy to help you! Pain is a degenerative condition indicating tissue damage which is why it responds to regenerative medicine, like PRP Prolotherapy. We would be happy to review your case in more detail and have you see one of our specialists for a treatment evaluation. You can email us directly at info@caringmedical.com or through our website to discuss your case privately. Or you can call us at 708-393-8272. Take care for now.
I had prp in my knee (meniscus tears and OA) after injection i was in extreme pain and 36 hours later still in extreme pain is this normal???? I've had it before with no side effects. Appreciate your comment!
Hi Joe, If you are having pain, please contact the provider directly who injected you. There are times that the response to PRP/Prolotherapy can be different from treatment to treatment, but not so extreme. Just that some areas of the knee may feel more stiff or swollen or getting back to exercise may take an extra day or something along those lines. But extreme pain days later is not common in our office. Your doctor should walk you through what to do. Sorry you were dealing with that! Hope you have it resolved.
Thank you so much for your response, my treatment was done at the VA. One of the injections he had difficulty (med student) finding the correct location and he was moving the needle around, felt like an icepick jabbing me multiple times (i started to see stars). It has been 8 days since the injection and I cannot bear weight on my right leg without a lot of pain. I'm not completely sure what system they used the nurse said they use an X-ray machine for correct location, I was on my back in an OR so could not see what was going on but don't think there was ultra sound was used. I've read from others on the net they have experienced a lot of pain as well but really i cannot walk and before this treatment i could hike for miles up and down hills with little difficulty. I'm wondering if the prp is working and that is why i cannot walk (i can walk baby steps for about 10 yards and then it is too painful.) I am a little desperate and will appreciate any insight you can give me and would be extremely grateful for your response....kind regards@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy
@@joebruhin2098 So sorry to hear that, Joe! We would only be able to advise to be treated by a clinic who has much more experience in these types of specialties. They cannot necessarily be done well by just anyone. We have been doing this for over 25 years and we would be happy to help you, if you wanted our providers to correct your situation.
how long will it take for it to heal with prp i have bicep Tendinopathy
Hi MooseNGoose, thanks for reaching out. That is a great question, and we would be happy to help you. In order to help you best, we would need to see you as a patient and be evaluated in person with a specialist in order to know which medical treatment is best for you, including if Prolotherapy with or without Platelet Rich Plasma is an option, and how many treatments are estimated, etc... We would be happy to help you get better. Please contact us directly to discuss your case privately: info@caringmedical.com. Look forward to helping you more soon.
Does the pain totally get out? Got mine March 14 then was cleared to play April 25. After playing, felt a bit of pain. Is that normal?
Hi Marga, Regenerative treatments take time to repair the tissue, just like healing of any tissue and pain is an indication there is still tissue damage. Usually the providers are trying to stop a train of degeneration happening in the joint and can take a few treatments to stop and reverse the ongoing damage. Our PRP protocols are unique to our clinic and we cannot comment on other PRP treatments specifically, nor do we know about your case in order to give you a better idea of what to expect. We can only advise that you speak with the provider who treated you, or their clinical team to get their opinion on your specific case. We wish you the best in your course of healing!
Vich muscel ingery plzz tell me
Is there anyone who has healed his his knee cartilage permanently with PRP? I'm young female with grade 3 chondromalacia and meniscal degeneration of grade to..
Even walking a few steps is impossible... Can I be ok permanently?
Hello mam, I am 45 years old and got injured 4years before while doing weight training. Sir please tell me that after the PRP when my pain would reduce completely and what is the duration of the effectiveness of this treatment. Thanks in advance.
Hi Sanjay, Sorry to hear about your injury. Glad that you heard about PRP Prolotherapy. We would be happy to help you here in one of our clinics. When we treat patients, the goal is to stimulate the body to repair permanently. We do not just do a shot of PRP- it is part of a more comprehensive treatment to address the whole joint. If you would like to contact us directly to discuss your case in more detail, you can email us through our CaringMedical.com site or info@caringmedical.com. Take care for now.
What is the difference between ligament laxity and tear
Hi Asit, laxity means it's overstretched. Like an overstretched rubber band that has lost its strength and elasticity to hold 2 items together. A tear would be like cutting into that rubberband but not all the way that it snaps apart. Either way, it puts added pressure on the other parts of the rubber band, or in the case of joints, other structures that support the joint.
Platelet rich plasma Prolotherapy. Danielle Steilen, PA-C, MMS, answers your questions.
What about split tear ankle tendon parenanol that has scar tissue from 3 yrs ago
Can it heal partial thickness tears grade2 in ligaments
Hi Satyam, yes, in our experience, it needs to be done as a comprehensive injection technique, not just a single or couple of injections.
is prednisone going to affect prp injection?
Hi Loretta, You will want to ask the provider who is doing the PRP and make sure that they know why you are taking prednisone and make a recommendation. We are not able to make a general statement about that.
I just recently have PRP on my shoulder 4 days ago and it hurts as hell right now.
Hi Miguel, Sorry to hear you're having pain after PRP. You should reach out to whoever treated you and let them know what you are experiencing and get advice on what they suggest you do to get you through this period. Wish you all the best in healing!
Oh gosh sorry to hear, I was told by my doctor that it hurts at first, but that you get well afterwards. Hang in there and hope for a prompt recovery. I'm going to have it done after the Summer
Are you better now?
How are you doing now?
@@ItsLotto these people never answer
How does PRP go with thumb cmc arthritis? Is it injected just into the joint or surrounding ligaments as well?
In our clinic, we treat the surrounding ligaments as well as inside the joint for a more thorough treatment. This may be with PRP and/or other Prolotherapy solutions too.
Thanks i think this is pretty much what my doctor does to, the first doctor I saw only injects into the joint, I can't see how that would address ligament laxity.
Is there an age limit for PRP to be successful ?
Hi carmela, Good question, We treat patients who are well into their 80s and ultimately it depends on the individual. There are young people who are very unhealthy and there are seniors who look and have the health of someone decades younger. Prolotherapy with or without PRP or stem cells usually comes down to the individual and the provider's technique with addressing all of the degenerated/damaged areas. All the best to you!
Have you ever treated a lymphedema patient with PRP and if so, did it help?
Hi LaVila, Thank you for reaching out. This is not an application for PRP in our office. We utilize PRP as a Prolotherapy solution for chronic joint pain and sports injuries.
Sounds great. But this is way too expensive. $1000 for prp is nuts.
For one session ??
50$ in ukraine
@@hinderminder5250 Sounds great. How about stem cell shots?
@@ESLinsider not sure about stem cells. I git the prp yesterday. Ask me in a few days how it went. Then if your want i can tell you where i git it in ukraine. Stem cell should be a lot cheaper here too but im hoping i don't need it
