Hello @arlenereiss55, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. There is another discussion on stem cell therapy for neuropathy that you might want to read here: Stem Cell Therapy for Neuropathy - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/stem-cell-therapy-for-neuropahy/
My personal opinion is that there is no evidence that it works for neuropathy but it is something a lot of us would like to see more research and treatments done by major hospitals.
Do you have neuropathy? Are you able to share a little more about your diagnosis and symptoms?

I’ve been reading the comments on neuropathy for the past few months. I have had diabetic peripheral neuropathy for over 15 years. What I don’t see is many comments concerning opioids. I know half the country thinks that opioids are a dirty word but for me they were a godsend that was until I moved to Georgia from Arizona. My PCP in Az prescribed all my prescriptions but in Georgia you have to hunt down a “pain specialist” and the 3 different “specialists” that I’ve had act like they are doing you a big favor by prescribing me maybe 25% of what I was receiving in Az. Just wondering why there isn’t much talk of this on Connect.
