Chronic pain and the peptides that might ease it have come up here a time or two, I think. For me, though, that boat has probably already sailed. I'm down 400lbs, closing in on my mid 50's, and a lifetime of working on my feet in production settings has caught up with me. Pretty much every peptide protocol, PT, gym, cupping, needle point, scraping, and bizarre pain-relief gel out there has been tried, and at this point none of it helps. After 14 surgeries, with more ahead, my neck is failing and I suspect neurological problems are beginning. The migraines and trigger points are barely under control, and soon I'll be on migraine medication and Botox. Next month I'm getting PRP injections in my neck, C2-T1, hoping to slow down or perhaps heal what is happening. According to the Dr, this procedure should either wipe all of it out or at least make it easily manageable for the next few years. Should it work, then the lower back and a few other joints might get the same treatment. Near the end of the visit I felt encouraged when he asked about my Tirzepatide useage. I only told him I got it through a Med Spa and said it was one hell of a peptide. He then brought up that peptides can be compounded, and said he was going to look into it himself to see whether he thought his patients might benefit. I think I found my guy 🙂

Anywho, does anyone have experience with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections? I'd like to hear how it went for you or for someone you know. I'm staying stateside for this, so it's all same day and then a few days off work to recover. Anyones thought are welcome as well, good bad right wrong 😉
 
I haven't looked into the PRP studies, so I'm unable to offer anything there. From the limited amount I've come across, results seem favorable. My toes hurt constantly - cold allodynia stemming from peripheral neuropathy brought on by obesity. For me, PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) has made a difference. Unlike just about any other supplement, there's fairly strong human clinical trial data supporting its usefulness across multiple chronic pain conditions, fibromyalgia included, and the pain relief grows stronger when it's taken over several months, with no adverse effects. It also carries certain anti inflammatory and antidepressant actions. Its mechanism involves gpcr g119 receptors and modulation of endogenous endocannabinoid signalling.
 
Neuropathy lives in my hands and feet and has been flaring lately. A bottle of PEA is 1/2 done and still nothing. I take a mountain of supplements and almost none of it has budged the pain or the other problems (so to speak). Day to day the pain is more than I can manage, and asking for extra medz is not something I want to do. No increase in 2 years, and I figure I will needmore down the line. That is why I am going with PRP, hoping for a better quality of life. Thanks for the info.
