I did PRP! Studies show it's effective on tissue repair. I refuse to do cortisone, so I had a strong PRP done by a neuro in July. About a 35% pain reduction, which is HUGE! I was barely functioning before. Cost depends on your issues. Mine was $3700, but worth every tiny penny. I researched it extensively. You can get PRP from pain interventionals, but I needed a stronger concentration. I have herniations & stenosis in my cervical, thoracic and lumbar. My nuero does PRP full time, which is important to me.

@christyvandermolen I was just told by my pain management doctor that PRP would not be an appropriate procedure for the problems with my back. I don’t know his reasons for that opinion. I have never been to a neurosurgeon for an evaluation because I am too old for surgery but what you’ve told me here gives me hope.

I’m wondering if neurosurgeons are the practitioners who usually do PRPs. Also, can you tell me where you had these injections?
