For me, it took about 4 to 6 weeks before I noticed real improvement after PRP therapy for tennis elbow. During the first week after the injection, my elbow actually felt more sensitive than usual — which is apparently a normal reaction because the inflammation response is temporarily triggered. I had to really rest my elbow for a while: no padel, no heavy lifting, and minimal strain. After those initial weeks, I slowly started to feel a difference. The constant, nagging pain during simple movements like carrying a bag or gripping something firmly started to fade. That uncomfortable feeling like something was always "off" in my elbow gradually disappeared. Around week 5, I was able to carefully start with stretching and light strength training. I noticed that I could do a bit more each time without that old pain coming back. The most significant change I experienced was the sharp pain disappearing during rotational or gripping movements — like opening something or twisting my arm. That used to be a constant issue and it affected my workouts, work, and daily life. Once that pain faded, I felt much more confident using my arm again. What really helped in my recovery: Giving my elbow proper rest right after the injection (at least 1-2 weeks of no strain) Not rushing back into full activity Following physio guidance and gradually increasing load Being patient: it's not a quick fix Overall, I'm glad I did it. It took some time, but the recovery felt much more stable and long-lasting than with previous treatments.
