I’m a 70 year old patient considering PRP treatment for chronic Plantar Facilities. I’m hoping you are a Dr. that can answer a few questions, and can recommend a course of action. I also suffer from Thrombocytopenia (my last CBC was 90 K/uL). I read somewhere that to be a good candidate for PRP; you would need to have a platelet count 105. To your knowledge is this correct? What would you suggest in my case? I’m considering taking Prednisone for a few weeks to increase my platelet count prior to the PRP injection. Would you recommend this course of action? Or, could my podiatrist judge the platelet count and make 2 or 3 spins more than normal in the centrifuge to get a good count? What is the normal platelet count you recommend as a result from the centrifuge, 3x normal, 5x normal, or something else? Thank you for your reply, Ron Rock
