Following my last round of facet joint injections (negative), both my physiatrist and family doc recommended that I try prolotherapy as they both felt that the pain that was not resolved with my ADR (post-op 2.5 years) is most likely due to micro-instability from lax ligaments. I some confidence in this opinion as Dr. Zeegers also thought that this pain was most likely due to ligament problems.
So, does anyone have any thought on prolotherapy? Risks, successes, failures, and (most importantly) who knows how to do it right?
Thanks so much for any thoughts that anyone may have.
