My Healing Attempts: Spinal Decompression, Stem Cells... etc.

[mike86]

Greetings everyone.

Some people have been tracking my progress very carefully, so I've put up a blog describing everything in more detail. I've updated it with pictures of the Platelet Rich Plasma injection during my Regenexx Stem Cell treatment. They let my sister in so she took some neat pics!

Hopefully they help. Also, I wish the fda would get out of the doctors ways and let all drs do this. I also wish the fda will hurry up and let mesoblast stuff to the market as it will truly revolutionize the spine industry and help alot of people in this world. Mesoblast stem cell technology is truly a world and game changing technology in my opinion. If i could be normal and have some low back issues when im in late 40's like a normal person lol, by then it will be common place to never have degenerated discs in back or neck for that matter.

I wanna kick sciatica in the face. Pain is back damnit. It was a good 2-week pain-free run that cost me over $13,000.

Update?

Greetings everyone! Sorry for the delay. It's been hectic here in South Africa.. but i'll be heading back in 4 days and I should be getting my MRI in about 10 days. So hang in there for results!

As for my condition, it seems my sciatica flares up every once in a while, ESPECIALLY after a night of drinking though! Otherwise I am completely pain free! So yeah, if I don't do much, i'm ok.. but if i'm active, I get flare ups. Makes sense right? At least I don't get flare ups when I'm not doing anything, anymore. Also I seem to have a much higher tolerance to sitting down.. like a CONSIDERABLE difference.

The MRI will tell the whole story. 10 days and counting!

Thank you for following and best of luck to you all.
