PRP injection for hip labrum tear?

Hi there. I was wondering what your experience is now with your hip injection. I am looking at getting PRP and stem cells in both my hips for Labral tears. I am in Toronto and it's pretty hard to find here but I have two choices right now but it's very expensive. If I just go with PRP it is a lot cheaper so I'd love to hear how your hips are now. When I turned 40 I also fell apart ;(. It's 750$ for the PRP and 3900 for stem cells and PRP!!

Thanks!

Dave

I have not had this particular procedure, but as some one who has benefitted tremendously from stem cells and PRP, there is no one you should let do this to you other than this group:

Hi Christine,

I have been searching for a solution to my labral tear (right hip). I noticed your post regarding PRP and was hoping you may share what results you have had from the experience. I have doing everything to avoid surgery at this time (PT, cortisone etc) and will certainly consider PRP as my next option. Thanks for any help.

Best regards,

Bob T.

I just received a PRP injection today for my right labrum (Shoulder). Little background: I'm 25 years old and I've had surgery on both my left and right shoulder (Labrum). I played college football and baseball. The surgery on my left labrum held up just fine but that's probably due to the fact that I'm right handed. The surgery I had on my right labrum was back in 2012 and since then, I've had multiple dislocations. Instead of trying surgery a second time, I decided to go the prolotherapy route. A week before I received PRP, my doctor injected my right labrum with dextrose under ultrasound guidance. After a week passed, I then was given the PRP treatment. I'm currently posting this an hour or so after treatment (currently very sore), and will give continuous updates on this thread. I know the biggest dilemma for myself was finding factual evidence and real patient testimony regarding the results of PRP. It's extremely hard to come across that information over the internet, so I'll do my best to keep all that are interested, informed.

PRP worked great for me. The injection hurt more than anything I've ever experienced in my life though. After the injection I took 3-4 weeks off and then slowly got back into running. 6 months later and I'm in the best shape of my life. Every so often my hip will get some pain, but it's nothing major. Usually happens with extreme weather changes. Would definitely recommend

Please please do keep us up to date. I am at wits end with my hip pain and injections are the last hail marry before surgery. That being said it is very expensive. Today I was quoted 6,500 for stem cell and 3k for PRP (3 seperate shots) at REGENEXX. I would hate to spend that money only to have to spend it on surgery again latter.

Hello All,

I have done a fair amount for my labral tear in my right hip. First I did PRP, that didnt do anything, that I know of.

I then tried Synvisc which is a lubricant, that made a big difference for 3 months.

I then booked my Stem Cell operation in Denver Colorado with Dr.Pitts at Centenno-Shultz clinic. They are part of the Regenexx team. The stem cell has made a big improvement. I had the operation 4 months ago. I am still doing active rehab, PT and seeing a natural path. I have a right rib and my neck has some issues which takes up a big chunk of my rehab too. I am going to get another PRP injection into the hip, I feel like the best chance to get to 95% is to tackle it head on. The only kicker with going the route or prp, stem cell etc is that it costs a fair amount of money out of pocket. I live in Vancouver so flying to Denver was expensive, it was a full week there. My thoughts were if your going to go and get it done, make sure to get it done from professionals that only deal with Stem cell, prp and prolo.

The alternative is getting surgery on a labral tear, from the experts in Bc it was a 33% chance is gets better from the surgery, 33% it gets way warse, 33% nothing happens. Oh and the recovery is 6 months of doing everything right.

Glad to read of your improvement. Did you pursue Regenexx as a result of reading about it on Letsrun?

What kind of surgery did you do? I have hip impingement and a labral tear but it has only been a problem for 8 months now. I’ve been going to pt every week for 6 months and only slightly better. I did one round of PRP and only about 10% better. I’m considering arthroscopic labral repair.

How is your hip today?

I have consult scheduled in Dallas with a Regenexx Dr. Dr. Movva. I was wondering if I should go to Denver instead since it started in Colorado. I have a left hip labradoodle tear.

Can you tell me how much the stem cell hip injection cost?

Thank you!!

I would love to hear about how you healed after getting the prp. My son received it for tendonisits in his knees about a year ago and had some good results. He now has a torn labrum and thinking of going this route versus surgery. Any info would be helpful! Thank you

Did you meet with dr Movva? My 15 year old daughter has a consult in August with him for a hip labrum tear. Any information you can give us much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I am 30 yo, had labral tear in my hip for ca 1,5 years, in a year it got 50% better on its own but I still decided to do stem cell injections to heal it in a fear that it will later develop into arthritis. I did it with Regenexx Europe. It is a month after the procedure now. It was very strange - immediately after procedure I walked with crutch and it was very painful. Two days after they added PRP (there was also prolo before stem cells) and pain disappeared 80%, I could rotate my hip in different directions like before injury. Obviously I shouldn’t have to do that. Pain returned after one week and now it is worse than before the procedure. I’m thinking if it’s a normal process and I shouldn’t wait for immediate results? Some people’s write it may take 6 months to recover... However my initial injury wasn’t too bad but now it feels worse.

Hi, I live in Illinois and have a hip labral tear- I would like to know who the doctor is that you mentioned!
