prolotherapy

[tkszteams]

That's very inspirational to hear and certainly that's the way it should be. I'm worried that my son will just be put through for a routine surgery op without other options being considered, I have told him that I've been researching about the prolo and have been trying to explain what the treatment is (from the little I know) he said he will ask the uni GP about it, but if they are not aware of this therapy, I suspect they'll just send him on to orthopaedics and book in an op. Mind you, I expect there'll be a significant waiting list. But, many many thanks for taking the time to reply, so much appreciated - in the meantime, I've bought the winning lotto ticket for Sat so at least that's a big plus............

this is the guy to read about re knee surgery

many of the top professionals go to him as his techniques give the knee the best chance possible to fully recover. he usuly does 2 operations rather than an all in one job whihc is aparently the reason why its so successful. i know of a british runner who had a knee op done by him and made a full recovery and got back to cross country running at a nat standard. luckily for him he was on scholarship in the states at the time.

not sure if prolo can be used on this type of injury. you would have to research...

Blimey, doesnt money talk........... have checked out the websites, I see that Michael Owen went to Colarado for his knee op, bet you they don't have MRSA problems in their hospital.
I really appreciate you sending the information through, it has been very helpful. I just wish this was all available on the NHS.....................

Hello

Thinking of prolotherapy.

Is anyone else in same situation who knows a good doctor?

What an interesting thread, Ian, how are you now two more years on?

Hi,
I don't know if you still post here, but I'm hoping and praying that you do. I am the mother of a son, 31 years old with back issues that cause chronic pain. I would like for him to see a prolotherapist--a good one. I can't afford to send him to mutliple doctors until we find the prolotherapist who is a good one. I am so desperate! It is terrible to hear and see him in such pain. If only I could bear it for him! Please could you send me the contact info on your doctor in London.
Bless you,
Babette

This is a prolo guy ian spoke highly of maybe he can help.
Ian himself hasn't been on healthypages for some time but lets hope he pops in and lets us know ! I've got a feeling he worked as a journalist/researcher for a running magazine.
