Hello Judy & welcome to the group. I must admit I never heard of PRP injections before. It is a interesting concept and I can see it may be helpful in treating some conditions. I have know idea if it works for P.S. and if so, does it only work for overuse induced P.S.?? I don't see how it could help blunt trauma cases where scar tissue is pressing on the nerve.
How many injections have you had? When are you supposed to see results? Please keep us updated on your experience with PRP. You are the first member to report getting this injection. I'm sure many people will be asking questions about it's effectiveness in the future. Many thanks, Mary
