The video features Dr. Don Buford interviewing a patient immediately following her Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for low back and leg pain.
Here is a summary of the procedure details and her feedback discussed in the video:
- Procedures Performed: The patient received six facet injections alongside a caudal epidural injection.
- Pain Levels: She described her pain level during the procedure as a 4 out of 10, clarifying that the sensation was primarily pressure rather than actual pain.
- Epidural Experience: Despite feeling anxious beforehand, she noted that the epidural felt mostly like pressure. The brief sensation she initially felt radiating down her leg had already improved.

Every patient is different, and a video is not a promise of the same result. If you want to know whether an orthobiologic or surgical option fits your own injury, that starts with an exam and imaging — not a video.
