Before the full tear, they wanted me to do the Plasma Rich Platelet treatment. They draw blood from you, spin it in a centrifuge to separate platelets and then inject it back at the site of the injury. But they can only do that on a partial tear. It’s still kind of an experimental thing (most insurance plans don’t cover it). Lots of pro athletes use this method. It’s supposed to speed healing & recovery time.

With the surgery, they say I won’t be back to 100% for at least a year. So I’m guessing the PRP therapy may have had me back in 6-9 months? That’s if it worked the way they wanted it too.
