A short interview excerpt from the YouTube video 'A Veteran's Journey from Pain to Peak of Wellness Part 5' where Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter and a patient discuss the patients recovery after a large rotator cuff repair. The doctor mentions early use of laser therapy and a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection; the patient reports mild soreness the day after the injection and little perceived immediate benefit, noting they were already feeling minimal pain by that time.

I feel like even by that time I was so far advanced that I was really not feeling anything.
We did a pretty big rotator cuff repair, so obviously post operatively had that. But we had you come in and start doing lasers almost immediately. We did a PRP injection for your shoulder. What was that procedure like as far.
As having the injection? It's another injection. It was a little sore the next day, but nothing major to say that I could feel a major difference. I feel like even by that time I was so far advanced that I was really not feeling anything.
That's great. So. And then it just kind of stacked on top of there. You have very little pain now. Great function. And the crazy thing about him is this is usually for a rotator cuff his size. This is usually a year to a year and a half process. We're about five months in and his function is amazing.
