Mesynchymal Stem Cells to treat Neuropathy

I have had burning feet and hands and atrophy of my right calf muscle for 40 plus years. I've had numerous tests at Mayo clinic over the past 25 years and no definite diagnosis. I am considering stem cell treatment as a possible trial with no know side effects. I've not heard of side effects.

Hello @wever69 -- Welcome to Connect. I also have neuropathy - my diagnosis is idiopathic small fiber PN. There is another discussion on Connect that you might be interested where stem cell therapy is being discussed.

I have no medical background or training but have done a lot of reading/research on stem cell therapy for neuropathy and from what I could find out it's just not there yet. Also, it's not covered by any insurance and the smaller clinics involved with the practice are not approved by the FDA. I think that the reason there are no known side effects is due to small numbers of people who may have tried the therapy. If you decide to get the treatment, can you let us know how it goes?
