Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy Procedure

Watch how platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), also known as stem cell therapy in orthopedics, is done during this start to finish prp injection procedure conducted by Brian Gruber, MD, MBA, board certified orthopedic surgeon and founder of Integrated Orthopedics, an orthopedics, sports medicine and physical therapy practice in Phoenix, Arizona.

I just had PRP performed on my lower back. 2 of my discs lost their fluids and were rubbing against my nerve causing severe pain. I've been living with this pain since 2015 when the injury occured. I've been to chiro's, PT's, acupuncture, neuro surgeons, none of them helped. They all referred me to pain killers and surgery. The day I had my procedure, I walked into the office, he drew my blood, 1 hour later he injected me about 15-20 times directly into my lower back. The pain level was a 6/7 out of 10. It was a stinging pain from the poking. When I stood up, I felt no pain in my lower back, this was obviously due to the lidocain agent. I have been waiting for the pain to come back and it hasn't yet. It has been 72 hours since my procedure and for the first time since 2015, I am pain free. I plan to return for 2-3 more procedures then onto my hips then my knees. I was very athletic in high school and college and banged up my body pretty badly. I am a 42 year old male.

I just had PRP for a torn hamstring And had I known about this procedure and it’s results. I would have signed up for PRP earlier. The throbbing, constant pain is gone. I have 3 weeks to go more to see “ results” according to my Dr. I felt discomfort the day after procedure, other than that. Smooth journey. Very excited. To awake pain free is truly a gift!!

I have a shoulder labral tear and a cyst on spinoglenoid notch and measures approximately 1.5 X 1.4 x 1.3 Cm. I was given a cortisone shot for pain and it has relived 95% of the pain, but the cyst is definitely pressing up on my nerve cashing severe pain when i didn't have cortisone. Doc suggested shoulder surgery but i cant do that RIGHT now. I'm seeking to try Ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration to prevent it pressing on my nerve... then we can talk surgery but I'm cannot do surgery right now but the pain without cortisone was the worse pain i've ever felt in my life. I'd like to try PRP before full fledged surgery as well.

[@omarperez4338]

I had this on my shoulder for a partial rotator cuff tear. Dr said it would feel as I got hit with a baseball bat on my shoulder and this pain has lived up to meet his word. It's been 3 days since the procedure and the pain has somewhat gone down a bit, I've had sleepless nights bc of the pain and have had a hard time even showering and putting my shirts on. I can't raise my arm at all. I'm praying this works otherwise I'll have to turn to surgery as a last resort and spend even more money
