What Should I Do After PRP Injection?

[@russellbray4594]

I had PRP 3 weeks ago for ankle tendonitis; the improvement was noticeable within 24 hours. Can’t wait for my second PRP injection.

[@stephaniemurdakhayev8714]

has your tendonitis improved?

[@russellbray4594]

@@stephaniemurdakhayev8714 I was very, very optimistic after the first injection. The second one, however, was a disappointment. I’m not sure if the doctor make a mistake with the injection as the pain was intense. I would definitely try it for your tendonitis.

I had acl surgery about a month and a half ago and am looking into prp injections for helping with pain and swelling and stiffness in my knee. I hope this works because it still hurts to move a lot.

[@doloresvega4420]

Good to know. I had prp on both of my knees (osteoarthritis) on March 6 2021 and slowly I am getting better. I ride my bike and go about my daily routine ie., grocery shopping, house shores etc. I don’t feel tenderness anymore just a little stiffness and can’t extend my left knee when I walk. But over all I am getting better. I may have another round of prp injection. Thanks for the tip.

[@shelleyanne77]

Hi, did you get one shot or multiple shots around the knee?

[@stef3565]

Hi, how are your knees doing after your injection in 2021? I just had prp for my right knee one week ago, and hope the stiffness gets better.. ?!

[@AnaJakobsen]

I observed in morning im blocked but once i start walking i feel better than before prp

[@AnaJakobsen]

Prp fixed my labral tear in hip within 4 to 5 months since then nomore pain...

[@erikabeca852]

My partner had lower back prp injections month ago and is now supposed to do excercises, next doc visit is after another month. But the pain hasn't gone anywhere and now he cant even stretch, the pain is different now and feels like he will snap his back or loose feeling in his leg if he stretches a bit more. Is that common during recocery?

[@jasi811]

After hair prp can we smoke or not sir please reply 🙏🏻

[@HitmanEF]

Hi Doc. I had PRP done 3 weeks ago into a lower back disc, L5 S1. I still feel even worse pain now... is this normal? As im reading varying articles that it is.

[@RSO-IV]

It took 30 days for rebuilding process which is very painful. Yet worth for 5 years.

[@ishikaasawa1598]

i only found out about not using NSAIDS a while after already having taken a tablet. would a single tablet affect the prp outcome? this is on the same day as the injection was received.

[@shaliniagarwal6076]

Greetings Sir, I have got 2 prp injections till now and I was doing easy running intervals for 30 sec -1 min or 5km brisk walk on the treadmill. As I was told that running thickens cartilage. Please guide. The CMP pain when doing knee extensions (without any weights)persists. I got second dose in 8 days. What's the right duration for the 3 doses?

[@baljitsidhu7520]

Hello doctor I did some streches on the 12th day of prp in my knee. I had some pain the next day is thst something to worry about

[@katiemarshall2420]

Does that apply when injected into the tendon also (considering for patella tendonopathy)? Thank you

[@MrFalcon58199]

Is it any effective against plantar fasciitis?

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

Yes. Works very good for PF. Sometimes requires a couple

[@wazzabanzook5028]

what about natural anti inflammatory supplements like curcumin and krill oil, should we avoid that also before and after PRP injections?

[@cindyhernandez1226]

I'm not an Dr but I just had prp and my Dr told me not to take curcumin because the area where platelets are injected need the inflammation in order for the platelets to do their job

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

I recommend you stop a week before but can resume after injections

[@maryed4676]

Dr. Jones: Thanks for this great video. Then, we should avoid Tylenol after a PRP injection, correct?

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

Tylenol is fine. No anti-platelet activity

[@Andrea-cj1hj]

A little update: i did my prp injection 4 months ago and nothing changed(Achilles tendinopathy).

[@stephenmckiernan588]

Was this just a once off injection? I’m getting a series of 4 , one a week for 4 weeks. I also have Achilles issues

[@Andrea-cj1hj]

@@stephenmckiernan588 2 series but totally useless

[@rokees5507]

I have annular tear and DDD in l5, so do think the PRP could help Healing . Thank you

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

Sorry for delay. I don’t treat spine but some have shown benefits in this circumstance

[@mikevlassis4232]

Hello sir I got prp in my costochondrial joint and back of shoulder blades I get flare ups here and then its been 2 weeks now should I wait longer for results?or should I schedule more prp in 2 weeks

[@prakashmishra2530]

I have done 1 dose prp 2 more after that how long time can't do sports activities?

[@Andrea-cj1hj]

Can i work as waiter after prp injection to achilles?

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

Yes. I typically place patients in a walking boot for 4 weeks

[@PakistanVeterinaryServices]

I had done PRP 3 days ago and still have inflamation and pain. Is it okay? I didn't use anti-inflamatory yet

[@aseemshrestha3354]

How long was the pain ?

[@edm8037]

Doc, does PRP heal my 4mm partial rotator cuff tear because ive been having pain for 4 months now?

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

PRP is a good option for partial intrasubstance tears and there is evidence that it can promote healing.

[@АлимЗумакулов-ш8ф]

After prp plasma shoot can I use swimming pool?

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

Yes. Any low impact activity is fine

[@jontysingh4334]

I got prp injection on head , I went through hair transplant 3 months ago, recently I got 2nd prp , can I start running after 1 day of prp

[@evangeliapaleokrassa1827]

Can I put ice on it or not

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

yes. ice is fine. there are many protocols out there and all are “opinion based”. I have been utilizing PRP for 13 years, and I do not recommend any restrictions other than avoiding high impact activities fir 4 weeks.

[@tulikaagrawal8174]

Hi doc, I'm 29 and suffering from bilateral knee pain for 2.5 years. Doctor said that there is inflammation in my tendons, bursitis and cartilage degeneration but the root cause is not known yet. He gave me my first PRP injection 2.5 weeks ago but till now I didn't find any difference. Can you please tell me how much time usually it takes to show the effect? I started learning swimming after 2 weeks. Is it good to avoid all other activities apart from daily life activities after PRP? Or these low impact exercises will help?

[@anshuman5554]

how are you now? Any update

[@faisallateef6329]

Can i go gym after prp

[@christopherjonesmd2178]

Yes. After 13 years of doing these injections, I have found there is no benefit to shutting things down. I typically tell patients ti avoid heavy lifting, impact activities (ie. Running, jumping) but low impact activities are fine and do not effect outcomes.

[@zainabkhan2475]

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 with PRP shots? From India 🇮🇳

[@heruhss3769]

Have you done your prp?

[@benfont8036]

Drinking alcool ?

[@spindletreevideos]

I just had it done on my elbows, guidance around alcohol was to avoid for a week after.

Can you put ice or not
