Prolotherapy Round 2

I had my second prolotherapy session yesterday. Jess was in attendance for this one. It wasn't nearly as bad as the first, because the doc numbed up my knee more (or because the tissue wasn't as damaged as a result of some healing?!). It wasn't nearly as long as the first, either, because he had an assistant this time. I think I can do this a third time. If there's no improvement after the third session, then we'll have to go back to the drawing board, but I'm optimistic that this is going to work. While I cannot say definitively whether my knee is any better, something's different. And it's a good different. It's hard to put my finger on it, though.

After my first session, I took three days off from exercising. I'm not sure I need to take that many days this time, as my knee isn't feeling all that bad. We'll see.

Update on progress after first prolotherapy session

I had my first prolotherapy session three weeks ago today. The first two weeks were miserable. This past week, my leg has been feeling pretty good. Yesterday, I jogged for 8 minutes with very little pain.

I will be having my second prolotherapy session on Sept. 28th. I'm hoping that it won't be as painful as the first. Even if it is, I'll have video (compliments of Jess) for entertainment value.

Tonight, I might try running the path around the neighborhood green.
