PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection?
Has anyone had PRP injections? I have upper hamstring tendonitis and recently had a prolotherapy injection, which hasn't seemed to help, so I'm looking at other options. I know they're expensive and not covered by insurance but if the success rate is high, it's something I might consider. Thanks!

Getting ready to see an ortho about the same thing. Gluteal tendonopathy that just ruins my life. That seems to be the last resort. PT exercises seeem to exacerbate but will continue to work on all areas. It is expensive and I have been told insurance doesn’t cover. I have spent so much money on dry needling, acupuncture, stretch labs, red light therapy, myofascial trigger massage, what is one more thing.
I had 2 sessions of PRP for Achilles tendinitis, bursitis and heel spur's all in my right foot it was nothing short of a miracle. The pain is about 80% gone. I could barely walk or stand for very long and for about 3 years I had tried OT, PT, cortisone shots. Nothing helped except the PRP. Unfortunately It did not really help my knee arthritis very much though
Thanks for letting me know. I have a consult this week.
Glad it was so successful for you.
