This is one article that discusses it:

You can Google for others, using the keywords: "prolotherapy risks"
Over the years I've seen some posts around NeuroTalk, about it.
RSD forum and Spinal mostly. If you use the search link in my signature you can search all the forums at once. Just use "prolotherapy" as the keyword. |
Thanks MrsD. Yea, I did a lot of research on prolo before and found very little on risks, especially when done with ultrasound guidance like I had. All the forum posts seem to be about using it as a treatment for RSD, but I have never seen anyone post that they have gotten it or nerve pain from the procedure.
I had a followup with my doctor and he said he thinks it is swelling in the nerve sheath (I think the perineurium) and wants me to try some voltaren gel. If it doesn't respond they'll do some more scans and maybe an EMG in a few weeks. I also got blood taken from my GP to see if I have all the right levels of vitamins/minerals for healing and should know in a week.
