Hey Drew, I am having some joint pain, especially in my hands. I'm still working on diagnosing it. However I just took my first dose of PPS and am hoping that helps and I am looking at doing either prp or prolozone injections. Not sure if you have much experience in prolozone but I am cautious to get injections in my hands considering I don't want the doctor knicking the joint with the needle and making what I believe to be OA worse. I heard prolozone doesn't have to be injected fully into the joint. potentially reducing the risk of hurting the cartilage. What are your thoughts on this?
