If you received an injection into a joint (Knee, Hip, Shoulder…) a sensation that your joint is full or warm is totally normal. Some tenderness and aching in the following days are to be expected. Occasionally the joint will swell significantly. Call us if this happens so that we can ask you some questions about the swelling.
If you received PRP treatment into soft tissue or tendon, the PRP goes into the tissue, stretching it out and filling it up like a sponge. You can expect significant pain for 12-36 hours which tapers off slowly over the next 7-14 days. You may benefit from a strong pain killer like Codeine or Percocet for the first night or two.
