Panama stem cell blood transfusion

I asked about those PRP injections that I read about here on this board on a Levrone thread. She said it's too late for that.

Or only in your seventies,like me. This week, I've been at a union conference. I developed a pinched nerve on the top of my left foot. The pain came and went, thank goodness. Since I neglected to bring Aleve, which usually helps, I went barefoot a lot because wearing any type of shoe is excruciatingly painful. Can't wait to get home tomorrow and pop some Aleve and soak my foot in a warm foot bath with Epsom salts.

I have two friends at work that put off knee replacement so long it was affecting their posture. In the end they needed knee and hip replacement. Both were about your age,

I walk fine without pain. I can feel the discomfort but it's nothing. I just can't walk for long distance. Well, maybe not long. A mile would be tough. i am able to do the elliptical with no problem and can still do the Hammer and Hoist leg press. I just have to position my feet so that the angle isn't to sharp.

Most people don't even live to 90 so not sure what your point is.

And open my eyes to what?

Age 52, 40 years of training, Im like Pellius. 2 torn shoulders, degenerative disc disease and scoliosis in back, bone on bone knee problem, pain 24x7.

Using edibles at night is life changing. Normally I wake up every hour from the shoulder pain, with edibles, sleep thru night, body is like a pain free jello carcass.
Pellius, try some edibles since you have a card, its life changing...

Go back to surfing

I believe that's one of the healthiest activities for your joints, along with walking, swimming and smart lifting

If you can do all that why get a knee replacement?

WOW! Interesting stuff as mentioned above! I tended to think that you older guys were the epitome of good health.

I had my yearly physical last month and my doctor claims that I am as healthy as a 'group' 30 years younger than my current age.

And we figure that that's due to the folllowing 'stuff':

I personally think (and my doctor agrees) that my good health is due to the fact that I stay active constantly. I walk 4 to 6 miles a day at least 5 times a week and have done that consistantly throughout my life-time which became a habit due to alcoholic problems at home when I was just a kid.

I don't drink alcohol excessively. Three beers puts me to sleep.

No smoking.

No drugs ecept for baby asperin. (Was prescribed Percocet once, but it did nothing.)

I work out moderately in the gym (Aerobics mostly now-a-days).

Home meals are no larger than my fist, but I do cheat a bit when eating out ... but not too much.

At least 8 hours of sleep a night.

And I seldom have any reason to worry about shit such as politics and/or life in general.

But my time will come, I guess.

Good health habits!

Especially the walking and not eating too much.

It's a fact that you just don't need to eat very much.

You should look in to stem cells bro, I know a guy from my gym who got them in his knees, he's in his 80's and it changed his life, had knee problems for decades, although he dropped $13,000 on them.

Yeah, my big, ugly feet got a lot of attention. Whenever I did presentations on stage, I put my shoes on, even though I was behind the podium. I also keep them on at the banquet and during meals.

GO4, Are Stem Cell 'procedures/surgery" covered by standard health insurance plans? I know ZILCH about Stem Cell stuff, but I do intend to read about it even though I have no need for it ...

I have VA medical coverage and some other plan that a lady who was set up in a grocery store begged me to join saying that it was absolutey free, but I thought that shec was lieing so I walked out.

But somehow she managed to knock on my front door and in an effort to get rid of her after a 15 minute pitch, I signed and escorted her to the front door.

That free plan saved me way over $200,00 because I could not get into VA gall platter surgery and had to get civilian srgery plus recovery of 3 weeks in a care home.

But all that time I felt as good as new .... but due to my age (over 65) they ket me locked up and doing 20 pound leg curls with a 'physical therepist' who knew why I always laughed when I saw him.

That guy was making a small fortune "teaching" me what I had already known since grammer school .... while congraulating me when I did 20 pound lrg extentions of 8 reps / 3 sets.

Which as most GetBiggers know ... a dead guy could do twice that weight.

You Personal Trainers should quit that business and go to Physical Theraphy school.

I have a strong feelng that Wiggs will be doing so soon.

Anyone such as Wiggs, that believes the earf is phlatt, that negroes are the OJ (Original Jews) and that caucasian people are doomed because Jebus be a negroe and the proof that God be a negroe be that God never showed up after impregnating ~~Mary~~ Laptoyanqua (isn't it obvious that "Mary" was her slave name?) is too fooking delusional to be in the medical profession.

I know you met him but really now. Wiggs is out of his hateful, racist, bulb-headed gourd. He needs to grow up and accept reality.

But does it also work long term? Dave Palumbo had them injected in his shoulder, but at the end he needed shoulder surgery.

I've discussed alternative therapies like stem cell and platelets rich plasma therapy with an orthopedic, but he said they haven't been proven effective. That prob also answers STUNT's question, it's most likely not covered by insurance because of this.

It's not covered. And it will run you about 15 grand with no guaranteed results.
