Orthos tell me shoulder arthritis can’t be fixed by stem cell treatments. Any truth here?

What is the best type of stem cell therapy that would be beneficial to use pre and/or post surgery for a shoulder labrum tear. Any specifics about the type of stem cells or stem cell treatments that are superior to others would be very helpful

Got one in my rotator cuff and 8 days later it is worse. Is this normal? Please help.

I recently became aware of Utah Senate Bill 199 Placental Tissue Amendments which seems to legalize the use of placental stem cell products in the state. Here is a short write-up I found.

Some interesting quotes:

"Stem cell therapy” means a treatment involving the use of afterbirth placental perinatal stem cells or human cells, tissues, or cellular or tissue-based products.”

” A health care provider whose scope of practice includes the use of stem cell therapy may perform a stem cell therapy that is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, if the health care provider provides the patient with the following written notice before performing the therapy…”

On its face, this seems like one of the most exciting developments in the US stem cell space to date. Could this be the start of a sweeping round of state legalization, similar to what happened with weed over the last 10 years? Any other insights on the status of this law?

And finally, does anyone here have experiences with stem cell clinics in Utah?

I’m looking to get intradiscal and extra stem cells for my L5-S1 spondylolisthesis with degenerative disc disease. I’ve been looking into Regennex Caymen but I want to hear from anyone who has had similar experience in this type of treatment and how much success they’ve had.

I deal with daily pain and struggle to sit and my flair ups from exercise have me out of commission for days. I’m in my late 20s so I’m hoping this can help. 5-6 orthos have recommended surgery but I’ve already had a previous fusion and trying to avoid another. Thanks!

Doctors recommend replacement. I am 50 and active so dont want to have a replacement.

Anybody have experience good or bad with stem cells good or bad?

Appreciate the help.

I'm about to go get:

200 Million Stem Cell IV + 50 Million cells intrathecal.

I take Kratom, Tylenol, and other supps DAILY to help with my nerve pain. Will those (or is there anything else known) to affect the positive results of stem cells?

Not sure if I should get off those things and others while getting this procedure done.

Thanks!

Has anyone had stem cell treatment for tendonapothy caused by flouroquinalone antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin?

Any experiences good or bad appreciated

I have seen people mentioning Thailand and it seems like there's clinics using umbilical cord stem cells, I don't know about quality ecc, but being from Europe, what other places can I go to other than Mexico?

Has anyone done stem cells in their si joint and had success? Looking for any kinda feedback.

Has anyone received stem cells to treat traumatic brain injury. How about ataxia?

1. Any improvement
2. If so, what clinic did you go to
3. What route of transmission were the stem cells given?
4. How many stem cells did you receive?

I had intrathecal almost two months ago and haven’t seen much improvement in my CRPS (like fibromyalgia ) at all. Did anyone have positive results treating neurological symptoms with stem cells? How long did it take to see results?

I had stem cell therapy- IV and intrathecal almost 2 months ago. I have a neurological disorder (CRPS, similar to fibromyalgia) that causes me severe pain and has crippled me. It is basically inflammation of the nervous system, pain concentrated in my foot. It can take 90 days to notice a difference for neurological disorders but after an initial huge improvement (maybe placebo effect) my pain has returned to baseline, it certainly hasn’t gotten better. I’m SO scared it didn’t work. Before I got the therapy I was going to a spa regularly and it helped the pain. I don’t want to confuse the stem cells by artificially increasing inflammation through heat, but I have so much pain maybe it would help calm down other inflammation so they are drawn more to my CNS. Does anyone know for sure how long it is recommended to stay away from saunas/hot tubs?

Does anyone here take immunosuppressants normally? I’m on Skyrizi and I asked the doc at the clinic if I should continue taking it and he said yes. Seems a little counter intuitive to me, has anyone else heard differently?

I thought it would be interesting to start a post to see how much people are paying or getting quotes as it seems to vary so much. Please comment below

I have pretty bad menstrual cramping that eases with ibuprofen but I don’t want to interfere with the stem cells - it’s been 7 weeks since I got the stem cells. I’m still in a lot of pain and the TENS unit has helped a little but I read that the TENS isn’t advised after stem cell therapy, not sure for how long. The clinic has been completely useless regarding quality after-care instructions.

The only complaint I have is related to the communication regarding the hotel but everything else was great

I have some disc degeneration and a nurse practitioner at my chiropractor‘s office wants to do what they call Whartons jelly injection. The documentation they provided only refers to HCTP that stands for human cellular tissue product. Is that actually the same thing as Wharton’s jelly?

I am in the US, and I am confused about whether this kind of thing is allowed here, because I see so many people on this sub that are going to Mexico in Columbia. Are my US doctors actually providing something different than what is happening in other countries?

Has anyone been to the Sports Stem Cell Institute in Southern California also known as Revive a Cell?

I have seen favorable outcomes treating osteoarthritis with MSCs.

I am now looking to see if anyone has used Stem Cell Therapy or Exosomes to treat either 1.neurodegenerative disorders for symptoms of limited dexterity, dysphagia, dizziness and fogginess or 2. Severe spinal stenosis that lead to fusion of C3-C7 that has caused neck shoulder stiffness that is painful, dizziness, fogginess, lack of nutrients to the brain.

What type, where was treatment and outcome?

Hi, I have a disc bulge in my neck. Physical therapy makes it way better currently but I want to try and get it fully healed. I’m wondering if anyone can give info on best place to get disc injections? I was talking with cpi and they are asking me for a deposit. I read some comments here saying it’s good and some saying not so good. Is there a better place? Thanks

What did your joint feel like afterwards? I just got both ankles done and, while they aren't in pain, there is a sort of uncomfortable fullness in one (the worst one). For anyone that has experienced that, how long does that last? For anyone interested, here is an Mri of my right ankle, and the spot I have circled is where the doc injected.

25million on each side of each ankle. So 50 million per foot.

Som recently posted about going to a clinic for treatment involving stem cell+exosomes infusions over the course of a couple days involving several other modalities like red light therapy, pemf therapy and said it was gonna cost them almost $30k for the whole thing, minus travel. I was wondering if you could share with me which clinic you were going to as I am seeking treatment for am acquired brain injury I sustained last year. I had another user recommend just exosome therapy for much cheaper and available Stateside so much more convenient for me but someone else said don't bother with them alone because they aren't as effective. So I'd like to reach out to the clinic the other user had mentioned to see what they can offer so if you're the one who made the other post, please dm me! Thank you!!

If yes, how did you do? Do you recommend? What clinic did u go to?

Has anyone done right to try with hope bio?
