A member asked:
Will prolotherapy (including dextrose injections into my knee and lower back) a week before my pet scan affect the pet scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I,would wait: Prolo,therapy creates an inflammation, so,this may give mixed results to the test, plus the needle trauma will,also,show up. I,would wait,a,few,weeks,post,injections to be sure that the reading is accurate.
