I’ve been dealing with shoulder pain for several years and finally got an MRI, which shows a few non complete tears in the rotator cuff. I have a follow up with my ortho doctor next week, but I had a visit with my personal doctor this week, and he suggested I look into PRP treatment instead of surgery.
The problem is it’s not covered by insurance, and when I talked to the doctors office here in Orlando, it’s $500 for the initial consultation and they mentioned there could be a need for a second consultation at $300. They didn’t give any details on potential price for the treatment but looking online I’m seeing anywhere from $5-$10k. Plus they can’t even see me until January.
I’m interested in the treatment if it works since I’d rather not have to go through months of rehab from surgery at my age.
Has anyone here gone through the process and can give feedback, good or bad, and a ballpark on cost?
