Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections | Q&A 

Has it been effective for tendonitis/repetitive strain injuries?

was the result good? how are you?

@@diogorocha8293 I’m still trying to find a doctor to perform this for me.

@@CC-te5zf everything will be ok have faith

@@diogorocha8293 ❤️🙏🏻👍🏻

Did you find a Dr and did it work?

I had a prp injection in my knee about five days ago. It has been super uncomfortable so far. The leg is worse than before the injection. I'm very skeptical of this crap and the doctor who administered it. I didn't do enough research before getting this done. Your comment gives me some hope, but even a month is a long time to wait.

Yes it really depends on where you get the injections from my personal experiences. My hips and back have been much more mild than anything in my shoulders. I’m assuming the size of the joint or area you are injecting into plays a role. Pumping a large amount of the fluid in there is the main discomforte

Ibuprofen and ice are not a good idea, prp injections cure through inflammation.

take a look at Jeffrey Peng's videos on PRP -- very good info and exactly opposite to what your were told to do for aftercare

Whereabouts did you have this done and have you noticed any improvement so far?

@@tinomts Manchester Uk and not a lot of difference so far !

Any updates?

@@marksimage8271 Had a steroid injection and along with the PRP have had modest improvement , think thats about as good as it gets ..

1,500 Euros a shot in Ireland. Mind blowing.

Hi - Did it work for you? I'm considering it.

It seems like that medical worker just injected to you the lower bottom of the tube (your blood, not the PRP) after it was spun.

Why did you let her inject it if you knew that's not what it was?

Could be prf

Not recommended, nor heat or any anti inflammatory medication for at least a week. I've had a number in to osteo arthritic knees and find very good.

I just booked an appointment in poland. 130 euro/session vs 550 euro in berlin. luckily it's only a 90 minute car ride for me

No, that’s not true, here the injections are 350 each. I am in Spain

I have had it done to my hip here in Massachusetts for $250.

@@philh.7100 that’s crazy cheap

You go overseas you might be getting giraffe blood from a doctor who got an F in school. You get what you pay for.

Same as if u get in the elbow. Stiff arm rest of day

Yes.We do need answer for that

@@aniketmahajan3010 🤣🤣🤣

Because of the flawed system we are part of. None of the therapies that work seems to be covered.

Big Pharma makes more money when you are sick. They will quash every cure that you can’t take a pill for.

Payors see it as experimental, as few large studies done. No one profits off regenerative medicine, unlike pharmaceutical companies or joint replacement hardware companies. They can fund large trials that will then show efficacy and allow coverage. They are not FDA approved as FDA does not oversee these procedures since they are not drugs. Using body's tissue that is minimally manipulated does not require FDA approval. So similar to bone marrow aspiration stem cell procedures.

Surgeons make a lot more money cutting into you and the FDA is a nightmare in regards to innovative and totally new types of treatment that can disrupt their lobbyists pockets. Sad to see what they approve and then won’t approve. Big Pharma stinks

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

No its not

We suggest reaching out to your insurance to discuss this with them directly.

My insurance do not cover 😒

For specific medical questions we suggest speaking with a health care professional.

I'm not a doctor and the answer is yes! I had 2 done.

@@renaldo1319 we’re your injections at knee area? And did you have severe edema after each injection? Thank you!

@@Tweety2U2 No it was in my tailbone. PRP introduces inflammation to the area no matter what part of the body, that's how you know it's working. The inflammation is not small either, it's usually so much that it's super sore around the whole area and visible. You can double check with your doctor just to be certain everything is okay.

@@renaldo1319hey did the PRP help your tailbone? Thanks

That’s too expensive

@@philbigsbie5950 really? I see you said $500 a shot that’s crazy lol

$300 in Costa Rica. For the knee.

Approximately 100€ in Romania, for the knee.

@@silencer74 mines free as well. Ihave been drawing my own blood and putting it in the dryer to spin it and injecting it myself. 😂

@@user-eo4jq7fs6n it didn't have %1 affect even, i ended up transplanting my hair now it look's great

@@iraallen2300 Sorry to hear that . Next step Stem Cell or Knee replacement. Joe Rogan said this (what good is having money if your health is not good). Spend the money Take the shot ! PRP was like injecting gold in my throbbing pain knee leg. I most likely will get one more PRP shot I want to be 110 %. Sometimes it can take up to three PRP shots .

Good morning I going for this treatment today my wrist. And L. Shoulder. R. Elbow been hurting from while. But because of worker’s compensation insurance this has taken longer. I appreciate your input ❤.👍🏽🙏🏽
