You paid for the front set. $3K is the cost for the 3rd one on back.
Remember That MRI I Was Getting? Got the Results.

Well, yesterday I had my fourth PRP session. At my follow-up last month the supraspinatus tendon was healing but not fully, it was still thin and potentially fragile. The doctor and I decided to give it one more month, take another ultrasound look see and decided from there (it takes about 100 days for maximum medical improvement and I'd had my last session on Aug. 1, which was only about six weeks).
In the meantime, my left shoulder had started bothering me about two/three weeks ago. At first I thought I slept on it funny, but it didn't go away. It was having a catching feeling. I now know the difference between a tendon problem and a muscle problem and it felt like it was going the same route as the right one had when it first started bothering me.
So after taking another look yesterday, since I really want to get back to weight training, doc and I decided to go fat graft on the right tendon (BTW, lipo, even minor lipo, when you're conscious is quite a treat, let me tell you). He put my left arm under the ultrasound and sure enough, it's got the beginnings of a tiny tear, so it got treated too. I had to sort of beg him because it would have meant both arms hurt like a motherfucker.
Turns out the right one is pretty good this morning, so I'm thinking that means I've maxed on the PRP for it. LEFTY hurts like a bitch, which is to be expected. The only thing that really sucks is I can't sleep on either side for a while, and I'm normally a side sleeper.
Between the fat harvest, and the injections into both shoulders I kind of think I slightly overdid it this time, I'm feeling particularly shitty on a whole other level (problems with sweats and chills, of all things). I also slept like utter shit last night (because I couldn't roll to my side). I can tell the coming week promises to be a bit of a treat.

Im sorry, your not healing as well as we you had hoped however it appears that your Dr. is very competent and I hope you heal very quickly.. with no pain!!!

First, sorry to hear that you got that news...
I can personally recommend prolotherapy, and it hurts when they do it, but it really does a miracle on healing that kind of damage. Probably the 70% figure is about right, but what if they're saying 70% chance it will cure it 100%, but maybe a 98 % chance it will radically improve it? Not sure, but I know it worked for my torn labrum and related pulls as a result of the shoulder nearly dislocating every time I'd reach to get something down from a high shelf. I had mine done in 3 sessions (once every 6 weeks), and it was about $500 each session (30 injections each, appx).
I'm not promising it will help you, but I'm saying that I'm at least one example of where it did work.
Also, HGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And go for the max dose for at least 3 months, if you can afford somehow. It's worth it.

Only post y'all are getting. Recovery is tough this time. PRP two shoulders, fat graft one shoulder, fat harvest from my tummy. I had surgery, but I'm not bandaged, barely bruised and can use both arms (lefty gingerly) but if I'm upright for too long I feel really, really shitty (mainly cold sweats). I'm also fucking BORED, BORED, BORED OUT OF MY FUCKING SKULL!!! Can't concentrate to read (or hold a book anyway), can't talk on the phone, can't really use the computer and now the oxys are screwing with my stomach so I'm stone cold sober, jesus this sucks.
Charles, PRP is actually a step ABOVE prolo. Think of prolo = Cadillac, PRP = Mercedes Benz, PRP + Fat Graft = Rolls Royce. I'm getting the Rolls Royce of treatments.
I'm not doing HGH but I have been on growth hormone stimulating peptides since a month before the first procedure (CJC/Ipa/GHRP-2) as well as stem cell boosting supplements (among other shit). I'm a walking talking fucking pincushion.
