Week 8 Update: Posterior PRP Injections (C0-C2) // How I'm Doing & Positive Outcomes

Hello everyone!
I wanted to provide an update on how I am doing 8 weeks after my platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections, including C0-C2 for my neck instability. The last 8 weeks have been ROUGH! Truthfully, the most difficult weeks of my life. I could not post here because I was too unwell and needed to focus on my health. The healing process made me feel more "unstable" and I flared, with new neuro symptoms. Plus, my atlas didn't want to cooperate and was doing it's own thing. BUT, over the last two weeks, I have noticed IMPROVEMENTS from the PRP!! YAY!
We got this! xx
Please feel free to comment any questions. I won't be discussing certain symptoms because of my brain retraining and meditation. Thanks for understanding.

I've been praying for you. This is awesome. Tough-but a step in right direction.

Hi Stephanie! Thank you so so much for keeping me in your prayers. That’s means so much to me. 🙏

Hi Diana, thanks for posting these videos. I also live in Canada and I am dealing with CCi as well. My experiences have been similar to yours. Good to see someone else here with similar issues. I think PRP might take a few months for full benefits, but good that you're seeing some positive results already.

Where did you get prp in Canada?

[@amelielehew5051]

Any more updates ? Praying you are feeling better and at peace.

[@reemaalajaji9924]

Hi! Great to hear you overcame the flares and feeling better. How are you feeling now?

[@angelalandolphi144]

Did u try straight prolotherapy first? How was that for u? Did u do ur procedures in Canada?

[@simo-dv5xk]

Were your PRP injections under the guidance of an ultra-sound or Fluoroscopy x-ray? Thanks

[@ItsStabilityTime]

Fluroscopy and contrast! With a very experienced doctor

Diana - thanks for the update, and that's awesome that you're seeing positives. If there's not privacy/or other reasons not to do so for you - it would be very helpful for people who watch this if you name specific doctors, clinics, meds, etc., I think (I know which doc/clinic you're talking about, just thinking of other people for future). Btw, do you have hEDS? I remember Dr. Centeno saying that PRP seems to be less effective for hEDS ppl and that he recommends PICL or Prolo for that population usually.

[@ItsStabilityTime]

Thanks! Such a good change! I understand what you mean, but I won’t be sharing details re med info. I already share a lot here. I wouldn’t advise anyone to share specific names if they are still a current patient for safety! I do have hEDS apparently. My doctor mentioned that prp works for inside of joints for some people with Eds but not ligaments. Interesting!

[@analyticalhealth]

@@ItsStabilityTime Regarding giving docs/clinic/med names: do you mean like if someone would share a bad review/experience that they can get mad at the patient or something to that effect? Also, so you hEDS (or at least suspicion), but PRP still worked for you for spinal ligaments? Btw - sound = much better, and full screen is good too! great job!

[@ItsStabilityTime]

Thanks Oleg! For me, putting slot of personal info online doesn’t sit well with me. When people know where you live, your med info and even doctors it can impede on safety. Who knows who watches videos. Maybe j will post that info once I am fully recovered. Yes suspected hEDS by more than one doctor. But I’m doing really well with regen medicine so far. Everyone is different and hEDS is a spectrum of course. The prp did not help my main issues of bobble head, pots, choking etc. just being upright a bit more. I’m grateful prp helped me!

Who the doctor u saw for C0-c2 injections?

[@andresavelar8352]

Where did you go ?

[@jimrenfrow8199]

Its the Centeno-Schultz clinic in Colorado. They perform high amounts of upper facet injections

[@Krishanapanchaal1]

Hey ... Were the flares of prp much more than the prolotherapy ?

[@ItsStabilityTime]

Yes! The prp was injected into my co-c2, deep in the facet capsules and depose ligaments because I have tears there. Prolo was injected into the superficial ligaments below c2 including nuchal ligament. This did not help my main CCI issues because those injuries are above c2.

[@ItsStabilityTime]

*deeper ligaments like AO ligaments

[@Krishanapanchaal1]

@@ItsStabilityTime you talk about leg weakness and collapsing in the facebook group after the prp , was it one of the flare due to injections too!?

[@ItsStabilityTime]

Yes I have leg weakness and neuro issues. I do believe prp played a role (fragile egg), but I’m not sure 100%!

[@Krishanapanchaal1]

@@ItsStabilityTime are you feeling better in your legs now ?

[@jijiazizie4602]

I think u need upper cervical with CBCT image,they must be something that your Atlas wont hold,maybe it was c2 or even c3 not align yet. Prp or prolotheraphy is to tight the ligament that hold the bone,also u need a curve on neck.

[@mireille1973]

Do you have EDS?

[@ItsStabilityTime]

I have been diagnosed with hEDS

[@simo-dv5xk]

Where did you get this done?

[@ItsStabilityTime]

@@simo-dv5xk I’ve gone to two separate regenexx clinics in USA and a clinic in Canada. This set was Centeno clinic in CO!
