thank you. I guess I was just hoping to avoid surgery. The way I have been feeling the past couple of weeks however, things have changed. I'm getting a little of the swelling and some purple hand at some times in the day. I hope Dr Gilbert is good.

It will never heal to its original state but can strenghten tendons by helping to form scar tissue. It did help my knee pain short term but did nothing for my ankle Bc its nerve comp not a tendon problem.
So, I dont know how it could help tos where there usually is already a lot of scar tissue involved and this is what's compressing the nerves. Tos is not a tendon problem.
Watch out for false advertising! Some drs promote prp and prolotherapy as curing just
about everything! I wish it were true, as I have spent $18,000, most of my savings, on prolotherapy alone. Most insurance co.s do not pay for these treatments, mine didn't and I have one of the top rated plans.
