PRP -platelet rich plasma injections were recommended for me. Like you, I didn’t want surgery so I opted to try Platelet Rich Plasma injections.
I went through two treatments of PRP about 3 months apart and feel better than before my injury.
If you have another flare up, look into that. I was amazed at how effective it was and still is.
Like the similar stem cell treatment, neither are covered by insurance, right?

Correct.
And at first that made me hesitate but when I did the math in terms of meeting my OOP deductible, lost time off from work and rehab if I did surgery - and knowing full well a back is NEVER the same after surgery- it was more affordable to do the PRP.
I will say this though about the PRP- if you’re having it done on your back- opt for the sedation.
The first treatment I had to be in Memphis later that day so I couldn’t be sedated and drive- and it was EXCRUCIATING. even with local anesthesia.
The second round I did - they gave me 4mg of versed and woke me up when they were done. Never felt a thing.
