Hi Akash.

My doctor has approached me to do neuro prolotherapy for my nerve pain.

There is a method called the LYFTGOT METHOD.

I read about the procedure in general, but it seemed way too painful for me , so I opted out.

I also read about the side effects that could happen and I wasn't happy with that since one of them was more nerve pain.

I hope these links help you.

Hi Akash,

Coincidently I am also looking for prolotherapy as an option for my neck issues.
Let me know what you decide and find anyone in India doing the same procedure.

Here is an alternative to Prolotherapy and PRP and less expensive. Prolozone. I'm maybe closer to going to Prolozone for my knee joint and maybe foot.

I would go to the doctor mentioned in this link as he is less expensive than the providers in my area of Los Angeles. There are Prolozone providers across the U.S.

Dr Sasikumar in Kerala does Prolotherapy. He does not use fluoroscopy but is very experienced. Only Ron Hauser in the US does more than him.
He follows the Hackett Hemwall method.

This is all very interesting to read. I came back on this forum after several months maybe even a year or more to see if prolotherapy or prolozone has helped anyone who has severe nerve pain due to TOS. I have a long history - 3 surgeries to the rt side, unsuccessful and made me much worse due to the first one going wrong. I went back to work after 2 years a few months back and I am probably going to have to stop working again. I have been consulting with several doctors about prolo. One doesn't think it will help at all, another said it would just irritate my nerves further which goes along the lines of the concerns you are pointing out. I was actually scheduled for prolozone with Orthohealing center in LA but I keep rescheduling because a) they are charging several hundred for one session and b) I want to make sure if I spend $, it will be on something that won't make me worse. If Dr. Chen only charges $200 per session I will probably just go ahead and do it.

The other thing I have been considering is ketamine infusions, although it is much much more expensive.

At the end of the day, each of us are very different even with the same diagnosis so you have to just weigh the benefits with the costs. Everything is a risk. I can't live like this anymore so I'm leaning toward doing it. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
