Chemotherapy and Prolotherapy |
Recently a potential new patient contacted Caring Medical about the
possibility of getting
Prolotherapy for some
knee
arthritis, while she underwent chemotherapy. She had been on
Taxol (chemotherapy drug) for breast cancer and was having some severe
knee pain from
osteoarthritis
and desired to get
Prolotherapy,
“Could she” was her question.
Assuming the pain is not from the cancer, but actually from
osteoarthritis, then the answer is “yes” she can get Prolotherapy. Let
me ask you a question, “Would her being out of pain, help or hurt her
chances of recovery from cancer?”
Another question “Would being out of pain improve her quality of life?”
The answers to the questions are “Yes, Prolotherapy ridding her of
knee pain will increase
her quality of life and potentially help her recover more quickly from
cancer, because her immune system, emotional system and other bodily
systems are not dealing with chronic pain.”
So it is okay to get
Prolotherapy
while undergoing chemotherapy.
While this is not optimal, some folks have no choice. This cancer
patient wants her quality of life to improve and for an alternative to
knee surgery. She is also
seeking an alternative to long term use of
pain medications, as
narcotics decrease immune
function, so that would hurt her cancer recovery. Thus, Prolotherapy is
a good option for her. As with any medical treatment, evaluation by an
experienced
Prolotherapy doctor is
essential when looking for the best care.
