Prolotherapy has a high failure rate like 30%. At my age 78 I am near the age where my DR would not do the surgery. He had two other DR's agree that I was OK for this surgery. He requested that both DR's be present during the surgery. I have Asthma, sleep apnea and COPD. A lady who just had surgery with similar problems said they kept her airway open during the surgery by putting a hose down her throat. Dee this DR is of English decent and is a direct descendent of the General who conquered Scotland and deported my cousins to the colonies like America. Brickey
