Hi, Steff! I don't know what you're doing either, but welcome to NeuroTalk!

Cherie has you on your way to the excellent PN forum, so I'll offer you another opportunity in the Chronic Pain forum. You may find some valuable insight here also: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10

Hi Steff and welcome to NeuroTalk. You'll find everyone very caring and supportive.

I just did a quick sweep of the internet world on Prolotherapy injections. It sounds like different doctors use different medicine for the injections.

Quote:
The basic mechanism of Prolotherapy is simple. A substance is injected, which leads to local inflammation. The localized inflammation triggers a wound-healing cascade, resulting in the deposition of new collagen. New collagen shrinks as it matures. The shrinking collagen tightens the ligament that was injected and makes it stronger. Prolotherapy has the potential of being 100 percent effective at eliminating sports injuries and chronic pain, but depends upon the technique of the individual Prolotherapist. The most important aspect is injecting enough of the solution into the injured and weakened area. If this is done, the likelihood of success is excellent.
From here: Caring Medical.

I hope you find a lot of good suggestions from the folks here.

Thumbs up
my hubby had that done on his elbow. he had been told he need the whole thing scoped out and he could never lift weights again. he was in so much pain he couldn't even hold his cell phone.

his only mistake was being mr macho and working out right away. he had horrible pain the first night. it has been fine ever since. that was 8 years ago. he still body builds.

thanks doody. it DOES take a dr who knows what to do and has lots of experience.

i am so sorry steff that this did not work for you.
