I've been getting Prolotherapy shots on both my elbows, one in which I had surgery to reattach the tricep tendon to the bone.
First of all, this treatment ROCKS! I am now lifting light weights again. 6 months ago I couldn't even lift 5lb weigths without severe pain.
Now I can do 10lbs for a few reps before there's any pain.
However each shot is expensive, and apparently all it is is a mix of novocaine and dextrose to inflammate the tendon.
Is there anyway I can mix something up on my own?
I was thinking of adding some dextrose to a vial of B12 and injecting that instead on my own?
I'm scared of making the tendons worse though, anybody ever do anything similar?
