I'm wondering if anyone here has had a Platelet Rich Plasma injection in their shin (for shin pain/shin splints issues). I've been unsuccessfully trying all sorts of therapy (PT, chiro, ART, Graston, Laser, stim, rest, ice) over the last 11 months to get rid of shin pain in my left leg. And it's not a stress fracture according to an MRI, though I did try to treat it as such and took 4 weeks off running earlier in the year. I've gone to several PT, Sports Chiros, Podiatrist, etc. And the latest was a 'pain management Doctor' that my Sports Chiropractor sent me to - to discuss cortisone and PRP. This doctor thinks PRP would be the better answer and have greater potential for success.
Curious if others have had any experience with this.. how much more time did you have to take off [she's suggesting another 3-4 weeks].. how long was the pain actually worse (due to injection).. did you fully recover.. and if so, how long has it been, etc.
Thanks in advance
