“I was able to move around more
freely, I had less pain with short jogs
and no lingering effects.”
“I had constant pain and inflammation with any strenuous activity and with some daily activities such as stairs, kneeling, squatting, etc. It interfered with everyday life. I was constantly taking NSAIDs, icing and had hyaluronic acid injections. The [PRP] procedure itself was relatively painless – some discomfort with the injection. The first 24-48 hours were painful but it quickly improved after that and I was normal in 7-8 days. [The PRP procedure] was absolutely worth it, though I am eager to see further improvements and how long it lasts.”
Heidi, age 43
