HGH is dirt cheap MM.
Remember That MRI I Was Getting? Got the Results.

Well, got the first session of PRP therapy last Wednesday. Not the most pleasant experience I've ever had, compounded by the fact I also apparently have bursitis in there so he drained that while he was at it (plus side, at least THAT can get charged to insurance).
I'm pretty pain tolerant (walking around with bursitis and two rotator cuff tears for who knows how long I can't be a complete wimp), but from Wednesday evening until Saturday morning I was in pretty much the worst pain I've ever been in my life. Tylenol didn't do shit, oxycodone just made me pass out, and I couldn't take NSAIDs which would basically defeat the purpose of the PRP.
Every day I've been recovering mobility and my shoulder no longer makes clicking when I rotate it in a full circle.
I want to thank the folks who encouraged me to consider GH. I started taking peptides nearly a month in advance of the therapy to increase my GH naturally and I think it's a good pairing with this approach.
My next session will be towards the end of June, apparently the sessions themselves get worse as you go along, joy. The recovery itself is injury dependent.

Try and keep a positive spirit MM! You have struck me as being a pretty tough lady! And you have lots of people here pulling for you. Myself included.

Hope you get fantastic results from the peptides/PRP therapy combo.

I have had surgery on knees, back, wrist and elbows but the recovery from the shoulder was the worst by far. I had a cuff tear, labrum tear, bicep tendon tear and the AC joint was just screwed from years of lifting. I hope this treatment works for you. I will be waiting for your results since I face further surgeries in the future. I had a parachute collapse going into Nicarauga in '84 and have been deling with the fallout of that for many years now. Good luck.
I might as well keep this updated for anyone who's interested.
Got my second PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment on June 24. I have no idea what he was doing but the treatment session itself was way more painful this go-round. My husband went with me and watched the procedure -- honestly, I have to keep my eyes closed, concentrate on my breathing and try to find my happy place, I tried keeping my eyes open and watching on the monitor and it made things 1000x worse. My husband says he was sticking the needle in and just working it around into different locations. Even with novocaine it was rough, that's all I know.
On the plus side, the recovery was much easier this time, only the first night was really bad. I think I know what I did wrong and next time I'll just skip having a post treatment cocktail and go directly to the oxycodone. Doesn't do much for the pain but at least you don't give a shit.
Unfortunately, one tendon is not healing as well as hoped. There will be a third session and this time he will be doing a fat graft. If that doesn't do it, I don't know if he's going to go for a fourth.
Actually, the arm feels really good right now, still sore but certainly better than it did this far out from the last session.
And I meet my new acupuncturist on the 5th, hopefully we hit it off ... if not, she has a colleague right next door that I'll go to next.
