Lost strength in both upper legs after PRP injection, what could have gone wrong?

cecilia shuDec 2, 2017
I experienced weak upper legs after the 1st PRP injection on my left hip. Doc said muscle was recorrecting. I completely lost strength on both my upper legs after the 2nd injection. Doc gave no explanation. I have to drag my lower legs to support the body weight on walking. People can see me walking in pain for balance. I stop for the 3rd injection. What went wrong with the injection?
