A member asked:
Why does my foot achilles hurt worse all of a sudden after the last few prolotherapy shots? could i be having a bad reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PRP unreliable data: Prolotherapy injections (platelet rich plasma injections) have conflicting data that they benefit patients. Although some people do get benefit, it is only temporary and a lot of people don't have any benefit. Instead, the injections now may only be masking the severity of tendonitis in your achilles tendon. Make sure your doctor understands these injections are ineffective. You may need a new.
