I had a spinal cord injury that caused paralysis. My C4 and five discs in my neck were surgically replaced, and although I’ve regained most of my motor functions from my surgical incision to my toes, I experience neuropathy. There’s no part of my body that doesn’t experience numbness, pain, weakness, and tightening of the muscles to varying degrees. Yesterday I attended a seminar on stem cell therapy from a company named National Wellness Center out of Scottsdale Arizona. I can provide the address if anyone’s interested my question is has anybody received this Therapy in this group that may have a similar experience I’m looking to connect with people who have had results from these therapies. I can’t cover the cost because there’s no type of insurance that covers this. I’m on Medicare and have no other income, but I am seeking some sort of supplemental income so I wouldn’t be able to do anything for at least a year I’m trying to decide whether or not it’s worth the effort to seek out this Therapy as my energy is low or should I just accept things the way they are. I’m looking for any information that could help me make my decision so I can decide where to invest my energies.

@jasonwalls Welcome to Connect. I know there has been hype about stem cells curing spinal injuries, and patients have turned to unproven therapies. I wish to share with you this information about research with stem cells and spinal injuries with Dr. Bydon at Mayo. He is a neurological surgeon at Mayo Rochester.
