After I moved the light I consciously remembered that I should not have used that arm; but there was no pain to remind me!!
I had no pain with activities that had hurt it for so long.....it appears that the PRP Rx worked for me....about 100%. I am amazed that I can use it without pain and feel 'back to normal'. As advertised, this treatment may not work for all injuries (tendon, ligament, torn muscle, etc) but whether it is luck or fate, it worked for me. I haven't heard if the FDA has officially approved it yet so that insurance companies will pony up the tab but hopefully it will be approved. I'm a believer. My orthopod was correct that it takes up to 3 months....I was beginning to doubt it's ability to heal me at the 8 week mark, but patience paid off and it just happened. Was frustrated a lot on the course because of the continued pain but for 3 weeks it has been a pleasure.

I will try to find if the FDA has approved this but it is now something I would recommend under certain circumstances/specific injuries to avoid surgery.

Praise the Lord.
