PRP for TMJ?

Posted by nialab @nialab, Oct 21, 2023

Has anyone injected their own PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) into their TMJ to help with Osteoarthritis? I'm almost 60. Despite wearing a nightguard since my 20's, my jaws are always sore. Recent scan shows more deterioration of my jaw bone. Doctor suggested PRP to help. I found some information about PRP for knees and shoulders but not for the jaw. Anyone have experience or knowledge about PRP for TMJ? Please share. (FYI: PRP is not covered by insurance.)

I would try it if I could for $350. My doctor wants $3,300 for one shot!
