Kerlan Jobe in CA has been using stem cells in shoulders and knees.
This is their finding: With stem cells during surgery, less pain and
faster healing. Its becoming *more popular* in South Bay, CA. @$2,000. at a
time.
ie. Dr. Huber in Torrance.
stem cells give Amazing improvement w Parkinsons.
Oh yes, also i was told that My *fat* can be placed in my osteo arthritis
knee pain area. $4500.
I wish u well.

Thank you do much! Have been talking to Mayo in Rochester to see if I qualify for a trial
Otherwise msy have to pay out of pocket but if it helps pain will be worth it
Also have appt at Pain Department Nov 3
I have been taking gabapentn for nerve damage in my right leg after back surgery last November. It is helping. However now I have a fractured bone in my pelvis from osteoporosis. Could the gabapentin weakened my bones more?
Good question.
Is there a “Pain Clinic” in your area or a Neurologist who treats pain? A certified Pain Dr. will help you transition from medications slowly…..and still have pain relief .
Will a pain clinic prescribe medical marijuana. I would like to try it instead of gabapentin. Nearest clinic from me is 500 miles.
@leigh60 I’ve been thinking about you. Has your pain level improved since earlier this month? Have you made a decision yet regarding the second surgery? Please feel free to keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Best wishes!
Yes. Pain level has greatly improved at Week 5, post surgery TRHR. Feeling much better and mobility almost normal. Walked 2.68 miles at one time yesterday. I continue with recumbent bike and floor exercises.
I will have THR on Left hip surgery next Monday.
So Happy for Your continued progress !!! looking forward to hearing about Your THR on left hip ! You are a strong woman ! And you have lot’s of people cheering for YOU !
@leigh60 I’m so glad to hear that you are doing better! That must be encouraging as you get ready for your next surgery.
