A Severely Damaged Hip  Is Healed With Prolotherapy.

"While preparing for a bodybuilding competition still six weeks away, I was in the middle of an intense leg workout.  Squats were part of the routine that day, topping out with a descending set from 700 pounds.  I was on my second rep with 700 at the bottom of the movement when I felt my hip literally explode.  I stayed stuck at the bottom, and now realize that I went into shock almost immediately.  I fell, but eventually pulled myself to my feet.  My leg went numb, and I knew something serious had happened.  

In the days that followed, my leg turned black and blue.  I never considered backing out of the show, and did my best to train around the injury.  Sitting and standing were unbearable.  In the few days following the injury, my wife had to help me dress. Getting in and out of the car became a dreaded experience.  

After the competition, the injury stayed aggravated.  Even after the most feeble leg workouts I would be limping for hours.  And strangely, I developed a baseball sized rock-hard lump on the side of my thigh.  After about six months of this pain, I was introduced to Dr. Darrow at the Joint Rehabilitation and Sports Medical Center, Inc. 

Dr. Darrow told me the trigger point effect of his injections might relieve the pain, but there was nothing he could do to reduce the lump on my hip. And the possible Prolotherapy effect might even grow some new collagen and assist the healing. I didn't care if it was trigger points or Prolotherapy because the results were miraculous.  After six months of pain and the inability to squat 225, I performed repetitions with 500 lbs.!  This was after only four treatments.  Not only that, but that big rock on my thigh disappeared.  Now I'm back to 700 lbs.

While I never admit even to myself how bad the situation may have been, there was always the feeling that those heavy days of squatting and deadlifting were over for good.  Prolotherapy literally gave me a new lease on my training life."
