A major expense going here with this treatment....
Will this really repair his torn arms, tights ,back etc ..... Some Halloween scars like going on poor guys arm (13 mins. mark) you can tell there's muscle tissue missing from biceps as well ........
Ronnie had a similar treatment done did it do any good for him? noticable? or just a waste of time and money?
WoooooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LE vro neeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Not sure it stops you from being retarded, so it won't help Calum Von Mongoloid

That dude is all done and then some! (His " 15 minutes " are over) ....had it all and threw it away!

Yes.
If you have the money then it's probably your best chance on improving your condition when more conventional methods have failed.

This. Had it all, great physical genetics. But bad mental genetics. His brother also - RIP.
Should change his name to Calum Von Moron.

I think you're absolutely right. There was a point where he could have gone into the stardom arena with the likes of Henry Cavill. He had the looks and opportunities as well as the online following to really catapult himself up there with the right PR/agent. After filming Bigger, there must have been avenues to pursue the dream further. Whatever mentally broke him - is still chasing him down the hole to this day.

Not even stem cell treatment will help him return somewhat?

I don’t think so, he was a handsome muscle man—that was it. He really sucked playing Arnold in Bigger, and that barely had any speaking parts LOL. Doesn’t seem like he has any acting chops at all.
His best chance was being a fitness personality/influencer a la Bradley Martin but clearly he’s too mentally unstable for that. I’m not really sure what his best option is going forward :-\

I have heard/seen steam cells do wonders, specifically in older folks
It didn’t do a thing for Ronnie, but Ronnie was beyond repair long before having the treatment anyway.
It will be interesting to see the results in Calum, even if the guy is unstable as hell.

Physically .... yes ..... but his looks are shot / his youth is gone ... it's over

I had them injected into two of my lower discs and it almost killed me. Spent 12 days in the hospital because the doctor was a dipshit. Even after that, it didn’t do anything.

Guy still has a pretty good physique maybe not competitive but the dude still pretty built arms fucked up though

I looked it up earlier with regards to my knee and there is some success but apparently the treatment is like 2 - 4k and only lasts up to 6 months? What is all that about? I'm not paying 2/3/4000 for something that only has a 3-6 month temporary benefit. That's ridiculous. Surely it should be a permanent improvement if it regenerates cartilage for the knee, etc? I need to properly look into this as if I'm mistaken, and there are permanent benefits; I'm definitely getting it done. The surgeon said I'm still too young for a knee replacement and need to wait until 50+

WTF. That sounds fucking terrible. Did they offer you compensation for that fuckup? So it didn't work because it was injected in the wrong place or because it wouldn't have worked anyway and it did eventually go into the right place?
I'm seriously going to research this stem cell treatment for my knee. I thought it was some science fiction type shit but if it's got to the point where people are doing it and it's affordable; it's worth looking into as I'm desperate to get some improvement in it.

2-4k??? Try 40-60k, at least that's what the elite reputable Dr.s in this arena change.

Maybe for an entire course of injections but I live in a major metropolis and the stem cell injections go for like $3,000/shot here.

No I contemplated going there after I blew out three levels and had disc replacement to assist with the atrophied damage, decided it was best to accept the injury and get on with life, research has shown that when nerves are compromised by disc impingement, that recovery is unachievable but further wasting can be eliminated. Similar to Preist, cutler, Coleman best thing you can do is retire and just do your best to slow the damage with surgery not try and get back what you lost. just an opinion.

You likely made the right choice, chronic inflammation from untreated disc impingement will cause further nerve degeneration.

It was free, I was part of a study.
The doctor injected cadaver graph and stem cells into two discs, L4/L5, L5/S1. On the S1 injection he overinjected the disc (felt like he inflated a car tire in my back, couldn’t roll over for about 15 minutes) and the material floated out into the spinal fluid and caused a reaction they called “chemical meningitis” and I ended up in the hospital two days later when my fever wouldn’t go away. I was in the hospital for 12 days, most of which I don’t remember because they had me drugged up on pain meds and sedated, catheter and all. Anyways, I wasn’t really getting better and after getting out of the hospital lost 38 pounds in 10 weeks. They kept running my blood and doing MRI and finally found that I had a staph infection in my spine. So, not only did this fool over inject me, he didn’t clean my back well enough and pushed staph into my disc. For the entire ten weeks before they found the infection and I was losing weight, I was having nose bleeds (one of which required ER trip and cauterize because it wouldn’t stop, pissing out like a faucet) and night sweats.
I didn’t sue or anything, I got better and just move along. A buddy of mine had the same thing done, although he didn’t do it in a study and paid for it. I think he said it was $3,000 and didn’t do shit. He actually went to Texas and had a fusion done. I have pain still, and they tell me that if the arthritis naturally fuses the discs, that I’ll get some pain relief. FYI, I do non narcotic pain management and don’t want to do surgery. I’ve just learned to live with it.

It’s like his 3rd or 4th road to recovery , I think he’ll need something different this time around to remain “ viral “ or at the very least relevant, to his followers anyway

His quad is gone for good ..... I'm curious if there will be any noticeable improvements in arms and back ....

Interesting - sucks that your doc was a moron and you had to suffer soy much... how are you doing now backwise?
I'm still stuck on using a reverse hyper - in some ways it does work wonders. Even neck curls done daily can have a really positive impact on spinal function.

I'm booked in to have c7 mobi-c disc replacement. Been ongoing constant pain radiculopathy for 18months. No traumatic injury, guessing just wear and tear from years of heavy lifting. MRI don't even show a definite impingement but nerve conduction studies confirm its chronic c7 radiculopathy.
How was your recovery and what disc did you use?

Back is still fucked up but better. A little worse than it was before going in but light years better than it was for six months or so after the screw up. I’ll tell you, if I’d have been diligent with PT I’d never been in this position after the initial injury. I exercise, try to stretch pre workout and go to a good Chiro every other week. I can tell when I’ve aggregated it and when to let it rest or I’ll be sorry. I take turmeric and other supplements also.

How did you all fuck your backs up? I've lifted my whole life, worked in construction, and still ride motocross. Never had a back issue ever

Keep it that way. I always thought it was because of my height and improper form for deadlifts but the injury that “did it” originally was lifting a trailer tongue and trying to walk the trailer and turn it in the dirt. The next day I could barely stay on my feet. After that, poor follow through with PT and not being old/wise enough to listen to my body kept it fucked.

Yep. Hypers and just doing simple neck resistance using a towel or hands helps me. People looking down on their phones all day really need to do neck exercises.

My recovery has been good, heaps of rehab and I was just not going to roll over, mine was titanium can't remember what type etc it was 15 years ago now, it did take a while to settle down, make sure you get ongoing physio to ensure you recover as much range of motion as possible. Good luck.

Don't do it.

yes alot of bicep tissue cut and gone from the deep glass cuts jumping out of a window
no stem cells can reattach those fibers
besides his leg is gone and whatever else he managed to fuck up

why not microdiscectomy?
it's usually just portion of the compressed disc pusing the nerves.
Ofcourse there is risks with this surgery but I would do that before complete replacement
-
If you have a bulging disc you can consider that type of surgery if you have full disc degeneration and a reduction in disc height resulting in the nerves being impinged by the vertebrae, disc replacement or spinal fusion is required to restore the height and release the nerve. Disc replacement unfortunately is the best way to go, fusion as you're seeing with Ronnie can only buy you time and redirects the stress that caused the issue to the surrounding discs. Disc replacement is a better solution if you wish to get back to an active full life, just make sure your surgeon is a good one.,

How did this fucker get so many injuries?
He just needed to lift sensibly and he was set for life as a fitness model/influencer. He was on track to be this generation's Mike O'Hearn

Pretty much, It's a herniated disc, combined with bone spurs, degeneration and foraminal stenosis. Due to me being in my 30s disc replacement was the best option as adjacent disc stress as you mentioned is a likelihood.
microdisectomy will only buy time. Lee Priest had same issue and Insurance company rorted him, went the microdisectomy route which was cheaper and it made it worse. Eventually he had to opt for a spinal fusion.
I have to travel overseas to get the surgery done ad insurance companies in Aus are a nightmare. My surgery is this week so let's see how it goes.

Yeah .... I heard Netflix even took his documentary down as it's no longer a motivational story.
Let's hope his Stem Cell treatment make the miracle and he regain his popularity and charisma.
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Any update ? is he back from Steam cell treatment.
Is it true a Kid called Sam Sulek" took over his fame ?

Update:
He's back on the gas, and ....... Looks like the Stem Cell kinda worked around the chunk of muscle/fibers missing from when he jumped through the window during his crisis and the glass sliced his arm causing a hole in his bicep.
Maybe he can develop a Bicep split" like legend Boyer did back in the day and became so popular ....
What do you think , Not all is lost?

Legit looks like something from a horror movie. I think that might be the best route for Calum: start starring in some low grade horror flicks where he's jumping through windows to attack kangaroos.

His biceps is fucked from the cuts. All the juice and stemcells in the world wont fix that. What a dumb fuck my god..

Great to see Stem Cells being used in brain damage.

Once Calum von No Condom knocked up that chick and abandoned her and his child he lost his mind.
Yes, true. But he claims she trapped him. Essentially his side of this is that by allowing him to do her raw, and encouraging him to jizz inside her, that there was an implied assumption that she was on the contraceptive pill. I can sympathize with that, as surely she could not have assumed that he actually wanted a child just a result of fucking her.
Her argument on the other hand is that this should not be assumed, and that "her morals" (even though she does OnlyFans porn) prevented her from taking contraception or terminating the pregnancy.
So, as a result he did feel very trapped. Add in a meth addiction, a child, all that trenbolone, fame, body image issues, injuries, guilt over his various pets dying due to his negligence, people demanding money from him and making threats, his bro going mental and then killing himself ... yeah, that is enough to screw many people up, no matter how physically strong they are.

Could be - he would be smaller and more marketable.
He has a name so he may sell his new "passion" as a road to recovery.
