Sounds good. I don't really know, myself. I brought it up to a guy here in the office after reading your article, and he immediately starts doing research into it ...which is where I got the link from. He doubts everything on the Internet, and immediately suspected this was fake as well.
> Had I continued to go in and have the uncomfortable procedure done as prescribed
So, does that mean it's really painful? As in getting the injections is painful, or your joints were in pain after the injections?
I saw interest in this when I thought it might be a nice alternative to Glucosamine or Deca .
This is an entirely different thing than glucosamine or deca, which are also two very different things. Glucosamine does next to nothing in most people. Deca doesn’t repair anything and is mostly a proprioception thing, feeling better because of extra “lube” so to speak. It may help prevent injuries, and it may make nagging nicks better while you’re on, but it doesn’t actually heal.
PRP is uncomfortable because they stick a decent gauged needle (I’d guess it was 19ga) and once that’s in, they just manipulate it around the injured area (for me it was my entire knee cavity and surround ligaments, etc) and they freaking poke a bunch a damn holes in your shite! It’s unnerving, slightly painful, and the worst is when they ram your bones and jolt your whole damn leg. If I hadn’t been in a VA hospital with a bunch of badass vets wheeling around without whining, I would’ve been squirming and bitching the whole time. Takes about 55min to take out your blood and spin it up, and then like 5 min to Swiss cheese yo shit, and then you’re sore as hell for 2-3 days.
But again, I talked to people in the lobby who were back for their Xth treatment and raved about playing tennis again and whatnot, so I would’ve gone back.
