PRP injections

hello,

I have been looking at PRP injections. Has anyone had any success with them and are they available on the NHS.

Many thanks.

Hello @fluffball welcome to the community

You are enquiring about PRP injections. I hope the following link will be useful to you

Whilst I do not have any personal experience of Platelet Rich Plasma treatment I expect some of our members may have and I hope they will be able to share their experience with you. You don't mention which particular joint is causing you concern. If you feel able to share more details of your condition we hope to be able to support you with more information.

Take care

Hi PoppyJane

The link doesn't mention PRP. What I really want to know is can I have treatment on the NHS? My GP says he doesn't offer it. Do you know anyone who does?

Many thanks

Thank you so much Peter. Can I ask my gp to refer me to this hospital although it is not in my area?

Hi @fluffball

Do speak to your GP and they will be able to advice you on next steps and whether this is available near you.
