Hi Noel. I’m having a hard time estimating my success with the procedure at this time, as I’m currently 9 months pregnant. I plan to re-evaluate after the baby comes and I have some time to get back in shape I am still hopeful that the procedure was successful!
As for your wife’s situation, I think it depends on what she is having trouble with. I hear that the success rate for knees, shoulders, and elbows is much higher than with back problems. I hope that she finds a solution soon!

My wife is contemplating Regenexx treatment. As you know, it is quite expensive and not covered by insurance. Erin, the last post where you described your progress was last July. What is your current status?

Response from anyone else with first person experience would be wonderful.

Many thanks for your response.

Erin,
I have bone on bone shoulder problems, I was going to get a total shoulder replacement but now this looks like a viable solution. I am in Florida, do you think this is worth traveling for?

Stuart,
One bone marrow draw was bad enough, I’m sorry you have to go through a second! I hope that the injections help you, and that you can get back to work quickly! It surely beats surgery though!

I am going to Regenexx again tomorrow for a second bone marrow aspiration & my first stem cell reinjection for a torn rotator cuff. I didn’t have enough stem cells in my first draw to get the amount for 3 reinjections. I have a high degree of hope for this proceedure. Being self employed the prospect of 3 or more months of not being able to do my plumbing, contracting & home repairs makes it worth the gamble. My ortho surgeon is very interested and believes that this could be the wave of the future.

Thanks for the feedback, Julius! I will be sure to keep everyone posted on my progress, and won’t wait so long between posts next time!
I am also hoping for the 75%! The progress has been slow, but it is the most progress I’ve seen (from everything else I’ve tried) in the last three years, so I am very optimistic. Please feel free to ask questions at any time, I’d be happy to answer them!

Hi Erin,
I was eagerly awaiting your update on the Regenexx procedure. I also have 2 bulging disks in my low back, along with a bunch of other problems (right knee busted, neck busted).
I can’t thank you enough for keeping us informed. I am very optimistic about stem cell research, but unfortunately the data is just not there or not enough. So honest posts like yours are invaluable.
I’ve been going back and forth trying to decide between regenexx and a microdisectomy. The surgery has about 70% success rate according to some studies, but might actually do more harm in the long term. There is no real data on regennexx, and it would cost a lot considering I would have to pay for 2 disks…
After reading your latest update I’m still undecided. The 15% improvement might be because of time, or PT or a bunch of other reasons. Please keep us informed. If you get to at least 75% in 3 months, that would make it very easy for me to decide… In the mean time my best option is also to wait…

Hope you feel better soon!
