Hi All- I'm wondering if any of you have hypermobility (Ehlers-Danlos or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder), and if so how was your experience with PRP? Did you require multiple treatments? How was the pain during and after injection?

I'm looking into this because my doctor told me she's had hypermobility patients who have had positive experiences with PRP. And as you know, it's expensive...and may require repeat treatments.

I have osteoarthritis in my hip related to hip dysplasia and also chronic knee pain. Ortho is recommending a steroid injection for my hip (because, of course, they always recommend that), but I'm uncomfortable with the general risks and there are additional risks because I'm hypermobile.

With PRP, there seems to be less risk, but there's the cost and the chance it doesn't work. But I'm sort of more comfortable with that than I am of the risk of making my situation worse with the steroid injection. Any insights welcome. Thank you!
