Specializes in Pain Management

Cortisone vs PRP: Cortisone has better evidence-based medicine support. At the same time the use of cortisone is limited due to it's side effects. Rec.: see your pain management specialist for more information.

PRP: I would use PRP. It's regenerative versus degenerative.It helps your body to heal rather than just breaking down inflammation as cortisone does.
