Has anyone tried PRP (platelet rich prolotherapy ) for AS/psoriatic arthritis/osteoarthritis ? I am sitting on the fence ( and it hurts now -:) with the meds Rheumy offers ( now BuTrans patch, Tramadol for break thru)
I REALLY want to keep running/exercising and am terrified that the BuTrans will absorb too quickly....
Has anyone used the patches and how did you react to them ? Doc won't give me LDN ( he doesnt know enough about it ) and my kidneys shut down rather quickly after only 8 months of NSAIDS .....
He doesnt want to go the DMARD / antiTNF route yet since my CRP/ESR are low ( likely thanks to my mega dosing with Boron and Omega 3, and running daily....) Only viable choices I can see are BuTrans , Cymbalta and or PRP. Any thoughts /other choices ? Is it worth it to try ordering LDN without a prescription or too dangerous ???
I feel like I only know the tip of the iceberg , and am caught in a vicious cycle of too much pain, thus unable to exercise some days and getting very non functional at work .....
Thanks in advance !
