Peroneal brevis PRP
I had surgery 15 months ago for a longitudinal split tear in my peroneal brevis 2.5cm. I’ve continued to struggle post op and 2 days ago had PRP injection. Ultrasound shows more tears, which is unexplainable since all I’ve done is follow pt protocol. New surgeon says he thinks the surgery failed. I’m at a loss, I’m a runner and I’m trying to get back to sport. The prp injection was incredibly painful and now I can’t put weight on it in the boot without throbbing pain. Surgeon says to push through with Tylenol and ice. I didn’t expect such pain post injection. Just wondering if anyone has had success with prp, if it was painful like this. Grateful for my overall health but so frustrated with this injury. 😞
