    Platelet activation plays a key role in the process of wound and soft tissue healing. The use of platelet rich plasma (PRP), a portion of the patient’s own blood having a platelet concentration above baseline, to promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, can be applied to various musculoskeletal problems.

      Had it done 3 times but didnt work, had both ankles injected at same time. I have now had my achillies tendon reconstruction surgery, post op 9 weeks and now in physio, sadly doesnt appeared to have worked either. Still in pain and hard to walk, will see what specialidt has to say in december.
