Just had time to squeeze in a mile, some deadlifts and squats before my procedure today.
After taking two vials of blood from my arm, they spun the blood in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from whatever else is in blood. They used Lidocaine, a local anesthetic to numb me and then using a combination of ultrasound and my MRI imaging, they determined the exact spot for injection. Once it was determined, the doctor injected the Platelet Rich Plasma into my leg, making several small injections along the affected area. By nighttime I was experiencing a lot of soreness as the numbness wore off. Now I sit and wait, and of course, hope.
