I would guess that most of us who use this forum have taken more than a passing interest(!) in nerve regeneration.

Over the past few years I have read both generalised articles and quite erudite papers (with a dictionary immediately to hand!) on the subject.
Indeed, I wrote to a professor in London late in 2004 who had appeared to make substantial progress. He was courteous enough to write to me during the Christmas period with a helpful response.

After this, I tried to keep abreast of the matter but it has seemed to me that the progress is in the upper areas were the nerves are much finer - my damage is in the region of L5/S1.

So, late 2007 and into 2008 I investigated stem cell therapy and actually completed questionnaires for two clinics: one in India and the other was, I think, in Germany. However, in both cases there has been no response. The former relayed a message that the professor had gone on holiday - I can only assume it is quite protracted!!

Enough of all that. Has anyone investigated either nerve regeneration or stem cell therapy in relation to lower level injuries and has anyone first hand or anecdotal knowledge of success. I should explain that I am not paralysed. I have phantom pain, mobility (i .e. I cannot stand or walk for long and I have to sit in certain positions). To summarise, anything that causes pressure on the lower limbs or spine creates pain.

Yo jac m'boy!
You've certainly come to the right place for answers to your questions.
For the most part I do stem cell therapy via my "Mobile Stem Cell Service"

(Why go to a third world country when we'll come to YOU.)

I got my education on the internet and have been practicing on dogs and cats here in the neighborhood for a couple of months now and I'm fairly certain I can do for you what those folks in India or Sloveinia can do only cheaper better and faster. A clean and sterile environment, I drive a fairly new BMW and get it washed and waxed every week or so and use the trunk as part of my surgery theater. I'll work on you in the comfort of your own driveway during daylight hours so I can see what I'm doing. At a less prohibitive cost, saving you and your loved ones money for the funeral expenses in case things go tits up at the wrong time, which rarely happens these days. By the way! I also sell burial plots at the nearest Forest Lawn Cemetery so I can save you money there also. Give us a call and I'll send you one of my 2 color fliers absolutely free, for a $6.00 postage and handling fee.

But enough about those wacky stem cells.

What we're doing now is far more exiting than sucking a bunch of embryo puss from a dying piglet.
That's right jaqie boy, nerve regeneration. That's the ticket, ehem, ehem. Through the use of certain tinctures and ointments procured from the feces of the East African mung shwapper, an ant like creature considered more dangerous, more vile, and with less sense of humor than an agitated rattle snake and a few other goodies I've rounded up from the nearest hardware store I truly believe there's chance I may be able to get on your nerves and regenerate one or two.

I'm still working on an overall plan. Logistics and all that. Cost verses profit. How quick I can get out of town should the authorities be notified. That sort of thing. But we're getting close to success there jako my man, so hold yer horses just a bit longer and we'll have ya runnin' around like a jackalope in no time.

jacques the jackalope, I like that!
stay in touch but don't press hard,

E-Dog,

I think I could truly hate you if you were not so G-D funny. Yup, you get on my nerves, somehow.
My avatar is just for you today- Get out your magnifying glass, you old coot, and study til you get it.

I dunno, with my luck I'd regain a bunch of pain and no movement

ya know, i don't know how to improve things for you. I am paralyzed, but i'm going through such horrible pains. I've thought they were due to my nerves trying to come back. Everytime i've spoken w/ some doc about it, they just say, "Nerves just take time to grow back, IF they in fact, will ever grow back..." I also hurt very badly while sitting too long. As a matter of fact i will most likely hurt after i get off the computer. My injury was a T12, but it took my tailbone, I would say, just over a year before i could really sit down on it w/out thinking about it. Now my lowerback aches horribly all the time ( i hate taking meds, so i rarely do).

IF you find anything out, look me up!

I get really bad pain in my left side. Not as bad any more but it still hurts if I lay on it too long. Doctor told me I'm crazy and the x-ray they took shows nothing and I can't feel their anyway and it's all in my head! >:(

I understand that there is a powerful alchamey stimulant that with just one lick will have you believig you can fly through the sky with the greatest of ease, just like Lucy.
The only trouble is climbing those steps to the top of the building so that you can throw yourself off into the wild blue yonder.
