Hi all! Im going in tomorrow for PRP/stem cell procedure.
I insisted on MRI'S about 8 weeks ago and they found 2 bulging discs and a herniated disc....no wonder i haven't felt well since my car accident 7 mos ago
The procedure is under general anesthesia...about 30 min. They said my pain will peak on day 3 and then i will feel pretty good in 2 weeks, with a full 6 months for it to take affect. I can't take any anti-inflammatory for 2 weeks, including ice....they want the inflammation, so the body's immune system kicks in. Im so excited to feel good again! This procedure has an 80% chance of success.
The PRP is my own blood, that they seperate...red cells, white cells, platelets....then they inject the white and platelet back in with stem cells from amnio fluid from placenta of woman who had a c-section. There are basically no side affects, because i won't reject my own blood or get an infection from my own blood. All this regenerative medicine is so cool...and I've learned a lot about it in a short time.
This procedure is what Peyton Manning had done on his neck after the Colts let him go and before Broncos got him. They said he wouldn't play ball again. Then he broke record after record and took Broncos to win a Superbowl.
Anyway, I'm just in awe how God created our bodies to fix themselves.
Please pray that the procedure works for me and takes away my pain. I'm only doing the bulge on L4 low back now....C5 neck will be later in 2018 after tax season
