I just recently went and spoke with an Orthopedic doctor in my local area about my left shoulder. I went for about a year ago I noticed that whenever I did over head presses I had some serious pain afterwards. Like an idiot I continued to lift and grind through the pain until one point I knew I had a problem that was not healing. I went and had an MRI done and sure enough they told me that I had torn rotator cuff but that it was small and did not require surgery. I continued to lift but due to the pain that was involved I began to lighten up and basically started half assing it for I was being mentally defeated from not being able to lift like I had been. I decided to go to a chiropractor to see if they could help me but long story short they could not and after 2 months of trying I gave up on that route. Last week I went to the Orthopedic clinic in my area and the doc told me that I had arthritis forming my shoulder along with a separated AC joint. He told me to go home take one ibuprofen tablet a day for the next 6 weeks and to stop doing military presses. After 6 weeks he said that we would reassess my situation and he said that if it does not get better that he would give me a cortisone injection. When I stated that I did not want that but instead wanted to get stem cell injections, which they do at this clinic, he said that he did not care for them for the research is not there to show that they really work. He did state that if I wanted to try them that he could do them but wanted to wait and see if the ibuprofen helped.
With all that being said I wanted to see how many of you out here have had either umbilical cord or bone marrow stem cells injected? If you had them done what was the cost for I forgot to discuss this with him at the time. I am hopeful that the injections can help my shoulder out so that I can get back in the gym for as I mentioned earlier not being able to lift like I want to is taking a toll on me mentally.I find myself now not even going to the gym some days where before I loved going and felt like crap if I did not go and lift. Also to help in case anyone is wondering I am 47 and up until last year I did not have any pain in my shoulders so I would guess I am in the starting stages of arthritis which I have read stem cells can help reverse.
