Thanks for your questions Unfortunately, while my MRI seems to show that the deterioration of my disc has slowed, my pain is not better.

Thanks for your kind comments.
Unfortunately, I continue to have problems. A recent MRI has revealed, however, that I haven’t lost any height in my disc, which is odd, considering how dehydrated it has been for so long. A plus, I guess?
The procedure ended up costing me around ten grand when all was said and done. Keep in mind that I live in Colorado and had somewhere to stay, so this did NOT include travel costs.
I received a series of three injections after my bone marrow draw, each spaced two weeks apart. The whole thing ended up taking nearly two months.
There was no inpatient time, as all of the procedures involved an injection administered with local anesthetic.

How much did the procedure end up costing you?

How many injections did you receive over how much time?

How much of that time did you spend as an inpatient?
