Prp Injectioin For Low Back Pain? Posted: 01-08-08 14:39pm
Have you guys heard of PRP (Platelet Rich
Plasma) injection for low back pain? I'm
currently in FL getting it for my low back
pain. I would like to you if others have
received the same treatment and if it
worked for them. Thanks!

having prp also Posted: 07-18-08 13:32pm
How many times have you gone? I started
prp in my hamstring only and regular prolo
in my back. I was trying to get prp all
along and my doc made it seem like it was
impossible to get that much blood drawn.
Well by the 3rd visit suddenly it was
possible to do my entire rear pelvic and
front groin area and lower back with 2
large kits. So it is my 3rd time for my
hamstring injury, which is at my pelvis,
the upper attachment of the hammy. But
only first for my ever worsening lower
back pain. First I thought it was SIJ,
but when I pressed and asked the doctor
where is this, he said it is L5/S1 area.
He injected all the areas I hurt, but I'm
assuming it would take several visits to
know anything so I'm just waiting in pain.
I felt a little relief afterward, but as
the days go on, I think I'm feeling more
pain again, at last in my back. The right
side is my worst side, always bothers me a
lot more than the left, the left is more
on and off or just less noticeable prolly
cuz the right hurts so bad I can't even
notice the left! Well, let me know how
you're doing. Apparently I've worn off my
docs reluctance to just go straight for
prp everywhere, but I guess since I told
him I'm in such great pain he agreed to
reach into his arsenal with the best he's
got and prp is supposed to be stronger
than regular prolo.
