Thank you fo the reply and information source.
I have asked once before and did not have any responses about PRP or Prolotherapy. Are there any information sources regarding this procedure and more important doe it work?
Thanks again and most appreciative about the information you provided.

Hi Fred @goetf4997, I have no experience or knowledge of Prolotherapy but did find a few links that may provide a little more information.

Mayo Clinic -- Is prolotherapy an effective treatment for chronic low back pain?

There has been some success with Platelet Rich Plama (PRP) but I'm not sure about neuropathic pain. Mayo Clinic Regenerative Medicine has some information here:

Hope this helps...
