Yep, Im doing it. Had major pain last November in my right knee while running and found out that its tendonosis - not a good thing. Tried rest - didnt work, physical therapy, yoga, stretching, massage - nope, not those either. Then I found out about platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) injections from a friend of mine. Went to see his Dr., Dr. Crane (Crane Clinic in Chesterfield, MO) and had my first injections don on May 2nd. Ouch for a few days! Then it felt like it did when I first injured it. Doing the yo-yo thing right now (good day/bad day) but waiting and hoping to see good results! Still training as long as it doesnt hurt any more than it did normally. 2nd set of injections yet to come - June 2nd. See interesting article published in the NY Times!

A new medical procedure might be the cure for stubborn cycling injuries such as knee and Achilles tendinitis. Called platelet-rich plasma therapy, it's already being used successfully for pro athletes. The New York Times reports, "The method, which is strikingly straightforward and easy to perform, centers on injecting portions of a patient's blood directly into the injured area, which catalyzes the body's instincts to repair muscle, bone and other tissue. Most enticing, many doctors said, is that the technique appears to help regenerate ligament and tendon fibers, which could shorten rehabilitation time and possibly obviate surgery." The procedure costs around $2,000, or about 8 times less than surgery, with virtually no risk of infection. The NYT article concludes that "its largest effects would be on the amateur, weekend-warrior athletes for whom sports is recreation and healthy lifestyle."

PRP therapy is absolutely safe and simple to undergo as compared to other cosmetic procedures as a matter of fact it uses patient’s own blood to create PRP injections. This can be done same day and entire process just takes anywhere from 15-20 minutes. Furthermore, this is risk free unlike surgical operations where a patient undergoes a knife, takes pain with many repeated seatings. In PRP, one injection shows visible results but some may have to go for repeated procedure after every 4-6 weeks. Many of you have a question that stem cell therapies are FDA approved? Absolutely yes, stem cell therapies are legal and it is done under the careful guidance of medical professional. Also, the FDA is working to approve stem cells for newer applications.
