“I haven’t felt this good in 10 years,” Brenda G. told Dr. Dennis Lox at an August 2010 office visit.
Brenda has suffered since 1978 with chronic cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral pain, and has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative arthritis, as well as fibromyalgia and lupus. Medication therapy has been the primary therapy for her pain relief – up until meeting Dr. Lox in early May 2010.
After learning Brenda’s history, Dr. Lox conducted several diagnostic tests and recommended platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in her sacroiliac.
Brenda received the procedure in late May 2010.
Brenda has been extremely pleased with the results of the PRP injections. “I haven’t felt this good in 10 years,” she said. Because of the pain she has endured, Brenda also told Dr. Lox, “It feels like I’ve wasted the best years of my life.”
