I apologize for putting this in the general discussion. I have it in the Injury section but it wasn't getting too much interest.
Interested to know if anybody here has had any knowledge of a player having had this platlet rich plasma therapy for his elbow or elsewhere. My son had some tenderness in his elbow end of last summer and the determination by his doctor and that of a second opinion was that he had some tears but didn't require surgery. They both agreed on physical therapy followed by a throwing program through last fall and then a wait and see. He felt good and had no discomfort beginning of spring college season but now that it's winding down he's beginning to 'feel it' again. I'm taking him back to the Dr and I'm going to inquire about this PRP therapy.
I had no clue about this therapy until I ran into the parents of the pitcher in the article during one of our games. They told me their son was somewhat worse off than ours then but that he is doing fime since. Just want to know if there are any more experiences with this treatment out there.
Below is the link to the newspaper story about it.
