    I've been considering trying this therapy for a hamstring injury that has persisted for over a year. Hopefully it helps Roy!

    Blake Griffin and (I think, Oden?) went through this as well.

    I think JR Rider currently sells his plasma for drug money.

    Roy had the PRP thing done for his strained hammy last year and it did nothing ... which is not to say it might not help a little bit here, but I guess it remains to be seen.

    I specialized in Tissue Engineering during undergard, and remember reading that this PRP thing uses autologous growth factors, so the plasma is from Brandon himself.

    I knew that.

    But it doesn't mean that Rider isn't selling his plasma.
