Remember That MRI I Was Getting? Got the Results.

[Arabian]

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.

I hope you have a speedy recovery. Now theres no excuse for you not to post on EF. lol

It doesn't work that way. Using my hands, particularly for typing, irritates my shoulders. Even sitting in a chair for any length of time makes me feel crappy, cold sweats and wishy washy. I was actually worried about infection but my temp is dead normal.

I had to check my email but I'm crawling back in bed in a few moments. I don't have a laptop and like I said, typing just irritates things.

Seriously, recovery can't be speedy enough.

Just an update on my PRP sessions.

Got session #4 on Friday, Jan. 27. HURT LIKE A MOFO! Had both shoulders done. Doctor and I agree that this is probably the last session. The tear in in the left is small, biggest problem there is actually the bursitis. There's just some additional healing that can be done with the worst tear in the right shoulder. Comparing old ultrasounds to current there has been an enormous amount of healing, even an idiot like me can see it.

Doctor used a new PRP centrifuge machine that is even more effective at spinning the blood, apparently I was one of the first patients to get a treatment using the new machine. Instead of the usual reddish stuff he literally was injecting pure plasma into me, it was just sort of yellowish. He told me this would result in significantly reduced inflammation and he was absolutely right, my shoulders only hurt extremely about 24 hours, I didn't take any pain killers at all.

He's actually impressed with how well my tendons have done considering the degree of damage to the one tendon. The PRP triggered the healing, how much of the healing has been encouraged/enhanced by supplements I'm taking, including growth hormone inducing peptides since April, stem cell accelerators and collagen supplements, I don't know, plus I've rested the SHIT out of my arms during this process, no exercise, NONE. I won't lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk or so, I want to give these tendons every possible opportunity to heal.

However, I am forced to wonder if I won't always have pain. I may have full function and much of my strength may return with PT and exercise, but I'm also developing joint pains that are weather related and it seems bursitis is moving into most of my joints. I have a follow up in March and the doc will be drawing blood to see if I have some sort of inflammatory condition affecting my joints.

One final note, since I started PRP back in May 2011 I've run into 5 people who have had rotator cuff surgery. Three were very happy with their results, two were not happy and one of them was actually worse off than when she had the surgery. They all agreed the recovery from surgery was horrible. I really think I made the right decision for treatment and am grateful I had a good doctor to implement the process.
