Stem Cell Injections?

[BANE44]

Anybody have any experience with Stem Cell Injections?

Is this now an option in the US? I thought it was only under trials

It was recommended to me today instead of shoulder replacement surgery if i wanted to keep weightlifting.

Are you sure it was stem cells or plasma (PRP) injections?

Checked the paper he wrote it on and it listed stem cell injections and platelet injections and refferred me to a doctor that does them.

There are stem cell trials going on in Japan and the US for TBI(traumatic brain injury).

Platelet injections have been around a bit but stem cell injections are real new. I didn't think they were offering those to the public. I'm interested/intrigued. Where do you live? If it was offered to me, I'd go for it...

About an hour from Jacksonville, Florida.

No sir, had to put it off, to focus on the custody battle i have with my sons mother.

My insurance wont cover it yet, and the majority of my money is going toward paying lawyers.
