Thank you Joe
The surgery question looms over me as others report that they have as much pain after surgery as before. The PRP has given me great pain relief, but is it going to heal anything? Is this a temporary fix? yes, my surgery was not done anteriorly if something was cut at the time of surgery surely I would’ve known about it because my recovery was very fast and I was up on my feet walking and back to work quickly. It was after the five-year mark that this started to happen.

You asked, "The PRP has given me great pain relief, but is it going to heal anything?" The answer is "probably." PRP is becoming a not-so-secret weapon in the realm of treatment for damage muscles. Right now, I am nor sure how much data there is on the gluteus, but more data is being gathered every day. Be sure to let your treating doc know right away when/if the pain begins again. The process can be repeated while we wait for other, more permanent therapies like stem cells to be perfected.
Let us know how you are doing after a while.
