Hi,
My name is Nicole. I have a Labral tear in my hip with impingement on a nerve. I'm in pain 24/7 and was interested in stem cell therapy at Mayo. I was wondering if this treatment has worked for anyone. I just dove right in with it. It's very nice to see so many others in this discussion group as it is so hard to find people that understand how awful it is.

Hi Nicole. Welcome. I don't have your particular issue but do contend with my own kind of 24/7 so have a lot of empathy for your situation. However, a very good friend just had "platelet rich plasma" regenerative injections for her hip and is thrilled with the result. That may also be an option to check out. She said the procedure was painless and that alone is encouraging.

Most of us here can empathize with you at some level. 24/7 is enough to drive a person crazy! I guess some would say I'm one of the crazy ones. I'm glad you found this group of truly good people, who are always quick to lend support. I had a spinal cord stimulator implant a few months ago, and I'm so thankful for the amount of relief I've received. I still have pain, along with various other things, but I can handle the new level of pain, at least so far. Welcome to Connect.
