I have researched a bit. I had a ortho on the northshore that wanted to ginuea pig me with PRP injections so I politely declined, but I have read that it is a new thing with athletes and such. The only thing is insurance does not pay and it is like $500 a pop and they recommend more than one. I might try it if I can find an experienced ortho in the city or somewhere.
How long ago? PRP has been around for a while. PRP works as long as it stays where you need, and that's the big problem. If you inject it into a joint, then the synovial fluid will probably wash it away. My company has a graft that will keep it where you want it, but then we're not talking about an injection anymore.

I think that's the same option that the doctors over at the bone and joint clinic gave me for me nasty bone spurs in my elbows. Either that or surgery which I heard is an absolute bitch to recover from. Or get the plasma injections and see if they work.
