A short YouTube testimonial in which Jim, a 72-year-old man, recounts several years of chronic shoulder pain that limited lifting above chest/head level despite injections, physical therapy, and exercises. He researched PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections as an alternative and decided to consult Dr. Schechter based on recommendations and perceived expertise.
My name is Jim. I'm 72 years old. The last few years I've had a lot of shoulder problems, issues that was just constantly pain. My arms were below waist level of the cage. But then when I started getting above chest level and higher, I had tremendous amount of pain there. I had no strength to be able to lift anything. It seemed as though I have hard time even in the kitchen area getting some down the kitchen cabinets. If it was low, I was okay, but if it was head level or higher, I had a hard time getting something out of the kitchen tendon. The pain was just unbearable at times. Injections, physical therapy, numerous other exercises, nothing seems to be helping. It was just kind of frustrating from that standpoint and I wasn't seeing any kind of results. I heard about these PRP injections. I said, well, let me check this out. There has to be something to this. I researched it on the websites and looking over it and says, there may be something to this that maybe could help me. I believe Dr. Schechter is probably one of the most experienced everyone I talked to. They've been all very complimentary of him. I says, well, I bet this person knows what he's doing. I better go check him out.
