The Truth About Stem Cells

In the 1970's I was a fast walker, making it a point to walk at lunch at work and after work.  I dedicated myself to a minimum of two miles per day.  I considered myself healthy and happy.  Then one day I fell and tore the meniscus cartilage in my left knee.  I was in excruciating pain but kept walking until one day shooting pain in my left leg joined the meniscus cartilage injury.  That turned out to be a large cyst on my sciatic nerve.  Eventually, even with a great deal of therapy, two surgeries were in the cards for me:  Knee and Lower Back.  OMG!  How did I go from a healthy fast walker to a crippled old lady (I was only in my 50's but felt close to 80!

I was in my 60's when I finally gave in to Cortisone knee injections.  Those were just thrilling, to say the least, but it was mind over matter and every three months I would faithfully visit my Orthopedic surgeon.  This kept me walking for about 10 years.  Alas, it was all over when the injections only lasted for a couple of months and then a couple of weeks.   The knee and back surgery had been horrendous, plus the weight gain from my walking regime no longer part of life, it made me an unsuitable candidate for knee replacement surgery.  I was just as happy as by now osteoarthritis had set in and the chances of a successful replacement was nil.

Age had crept up on me and I was now beginning the 70's downhill slide.  Yet, I wouldn't give up that easily so I began water aerobics along with a whirlpool therapy.

Oops! Wrong choice.  After a couple of months I woke up in the night completely numb from my knees to my toes and on BOTH legs no less.  An MRI said the discs in my lower back were injured and surgery was the only treatment.  I completely refused.  I took the MRI to my trusted Chiropractor, Paul Williams, who said he could help me and that he did.  For three months I visited him three times a week and he pulled me through it.  I continued treatments and my back was slowly healing. but my feet and toes remained numb.  Dr. Paul said that damaged nerves can take years to heal.

A couple of years went by and soon Stem Cell injections became the latest treatment.  Of course, our insurance companies being what they are, considered them experimental and wouldn't cover them.  I decided to go ahead on my own cost and pay for an injection in my left knee to the tune of $2500.  Dr. Paul, my most wonderful chiropractor, told me with all my damage I had, we may not see a difference for  awhile or the stem cells could affect a different part of my body, the part needing the most urgent healing.

I was pleased when the shots eased the pain in the my left knee but a few months later something more than I expected happened.  My feet and toes which had been numb since my back injury, began to loosen.  Very slowly, my feet lost their numbness and I could wiggle my toes again.  It was amazing.  All this from only "one stem cell shot"!  Double Amazing!  As time passes my toes get better and better.  Then I found my newest Stem Cell Adventure - the X39 Patch!
