This passion is what drives him to think outside the box when working with patients to identify and treat the root cause of pain.
both of those are bro science. Oral and injectable work equally well for GI and MSK issues. For MSK issues, the location of subQ injection does not matter. It always goes into the bloodstream first, then gets delivered to the areas of injury/pain
Our clinic? Gilbert Arizona regenerativeperformance.com The injections for pudendal neuralgia? Our approach is three fold - caudal epidural, nerve hydrodissection between sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligament, and nerve hydrodissection in the pudendal canal. Our results have been fantastic
Is there a reason the abdomen is your go to injection site? I find less pain injecting into the fat just behind my hip, right under where my pants waistband sits. Is injecting there just as effective?
I have chronic low back pain every day and my knees are starting to hurt a bit when sitting too long I was thinking about taking BPC 157, but I’m not sure which is best. I prefer an oral rather than injections. What would you suggest?
BPC-157 could be something that helps bring your pain down. We use the BPC-157 capsules from InfiniWell as they use the arginate salt. To help out, we have a 20% patient discount code on our website regenerativeperformance.com/supplements (code is RP20). Once on that website, click the InfiniWell link, and then choose the product labeled 'BPC-157 Original 250mcg'. This is the version that does not have SNAC, which we find works better. The most common starting dose we use with patients is 500mcg, once per day on an empty stomach. The time of day may not matter, but it may also be better when taken before bed. We normally have patients take BPC-157 for at least a month to determine if they see improvements, but sometimes it takes longer to see effects as tissue healing takes time. We then have patients continue on the BPC-157 for several months, and then we might trial taking them off to see if their symptoms remained improved or if they regress. If they regress, we put them back on it. If that doesn't bring it down enough, reach out to my clinic to see about working directly with me. We can have a free call to see if I think I can help you with our PRP and stem cell injections.
Unfortunately because of the MCAS I can't make good recommendations online without potentially dumping histamine. I would recommend you come work with me one on one. That's the fastest way to get you the relief you deserve. We work with a lot of these patients and our approaches are intensive and comprehensive, which they need to be for someone in your shoes.

The thing is from experience of injections i have massive results injecting the area compared to not injecting the area??.injecting my stomach multiple times didnt help my knee 1 injection to the knee helped significantly.thats my look on it.
Does prolotherapy really tighten ligaments, I have severe Lyme and eds and have instability and pain EVERYWHERE I'm only one treatment into 25% Dextrose on my spine but I'm not feeling any ligaments tightning
I took one oral BPC-157 250 Mcg capsule (original) and have been experiencing severe heart palpitations for days. Is this a side effect? Is this going to he permanent? It’s ruining my life

I'm sorry to hear that. Often times with the occipital nerve, this could be because the hydrodissection technique was inadequate. There are several places along the occipital nerve that often need to be treated, and at most clinics only one spot is usually treated.

Hey so I have bursitis on my heel I've honestly been stuck because it stubborn but I was going to ask is it possible I take ibuprofen in cycles and rest the heel I've been taking care of the injury and it causes me pain sometimes when on my feet to long if I were to be taking ibuprofen long tern to attack the problem how would you say I would continue on with it should I take ibuprofen 7 days on u days off ?
Our approach tries to treat the root cause, so we typically don't approach it like this. You could do that for sure, but in our clinic we would use other approaches
HOW is the BPC 157 made?? I know we make inside our body, but the one you buy from the stores? is it extracted from animals? replicated by other BPC157 in a dish??
I have been dealing with CRPS for 7 year. Really bad for the first 5 years. I've had two sympathetic blocks after the first year and they didn't help. I have a pal cord stimulator. Will the treatment be available to me where the two blocks have failed? The blocks did not have dextrose or tea cells included.
I'm terribly sorry to hear this. CRPS is such an awful diagnosis :(. We have had some really positive results in the last 2 years with PRP and stem cell therapy for CRPS. Not everyone is a candidate though, so we would need to see if our approaches could be helpful for you. If you'd like to explore this, please schedule a free call with me and we can see if you're a candidate - regenerativeperformance.com/contact
As soon as I try to stand up after my C-section, I had burning pain in my groin that shot me back into my hospital bed. I can now only walk a few minutes before the pain becomes unbearable. I’m not sure if I have a nerve stuck in the sutures since the pain was immediate. Does this sound like something nerve hydra dissection may be able to help with?
I'm so sorry to hear that. Yes it sounds like you may have some nerves trapped in the fascia or scar tissue. In my clinic I would evaluate this with a physical exam and an ultrasound scan, and if we confirmed that we would hydrodissect the fascia, the nerves, and the scar. If you'd like to explore this option, schedule a free call with me and we can see if you're a candidate regenerativeperformance.com/contact
@@DrewTimmermansND thank you so much! I’m going to check it out! If it’s trapped in a dissolvable suture, does that have a chance at improving over time as the suture dissolves? Or if it’s trapped in a surgical suture, is that still something hydrodissection can help with?
it's rarely trapped in a surgical suture, but yes if it is it could get better over time, and if not we can still hydrodissect it. Usually it's trapped because of the adhesions that formed
@@DrewTimmermansNDThe nerve hurt severely immediately when I tried to stand after surgery so that’s why I thought suture instead of adhesion because there would have been no time for adhesion to form. Is this improper thinking?
Good thinking yes, true adhesions take time to form, but you have a 'type' of adhesion once they close you up as the tissue doesn't move where it was sutured. But it doesn't mean that the suture is directly trapping the nerve
Current med: lyrica, tramadol, baclofen, carvedilol Meloxicam, memantine,vitamin b complex, magnesium and capsaicin cream. This pain is worse than child birth.

I'm terribly sorry to hear this. If you are open to exploring working with us to get to the root cause, you can schedule a free call with me here - regenerativeperformance.com/contact. We will talk through your case and I will let you know if I think we can help or not. If you are a candidate, then you would need to travel out to AZ (if you're not already here) to work directly with us. Our approaches are not covered by insurance, which is part of the reason that we can spend the time to get to the root cause. Often times insurance gets in the way of true healing.
@@DrewTimmermansND I completely understand. Unfortunately due to this, I lost my job and if course applied for disability back in August 2023 and seems they don't consider this condition serious enough to prevent me from working. Ignoring the fact I'm in constant pain, feet has bare minimum feeling , loss of muscle control, unable to drive , it's horrible. Like who r these people?Talk about a catch 22.
What if you cannot Have injections or surgery? Because? Your dermatologist won't sign off. Because you have a underlying fungal infection. Even when it's cleared up spokennoise it's still lies dormant.And you are left hung out to dry

Hello doc. My mother is 73 years old. She is having knee pain, doctor suggested her to take prolotheraphy. Is it safe or should we go for pRP. Please it urgent, reply me
Hello, sorry unfortunately I can't make that in depth of a medical recommendation for your mother. I would need to see her as a patient in order to determine if it is safe for her, or if PRP was a better option for her. If you'd like to explore this, please contact my clinic! regenerativeperformance.com
Where do I go for instability and neurogenic inflammation? A neurologist? I've had 3...and it's catching up w me, therapy, acupuncture, I've done it all. It's still inflamed.
I'm terribly sorry to hear that. As we treat instability and neurogenic inflammation, I would recommend you come out to AZ (if you're not already here) to work with me directly. If you'd like to explore this process, please contact my clinc! regenerativeperformance.com
Depends on what the autoimmune issue is. Each case is going to be unique. Sometimes we proceed, other times our doc who works with AI patients will spend some time improving the AI issues first.
Both. Some patients with EDS have had some issues with BPC-157 over the years, especially when there is underlying MCAS, but we still trial it in those patients. If you're struggling with joint pain from the EDS though, it would be worth considering seeking out some PRP or stem cell therapy injections. We have found this to have the greatest impact once we get the right supplements and peptides on board. But for the peptides, I will caution you with this. Currently the injectable peptides cannot be obtained through a compounding pharmacy, which means people are left to purchase them from online websites. These websites don't have the sterility level of a compounding pharmacy, and we have seen too many people get dosed with endotoxins because of the sterility issues. Some patients just get local red reactions, but we've seen some other pretty serious side effects because of this. So strong word of caution on buying injectable peptides online.
Very interesting I’m doing cold baths which started yesterday 2/3 a day. Excruciating sciatica for 4.5 months all day very day. Had surgery for herniated disc in 2012 that was a success but after 11 years pain free, my hell has returned. The only pain in my life that has brought me to my knees and crushed even my will to live. I was doing this to hopefully heal the damaged sciatic nerve but I think your explanation is why is starting to help so quick.
Can I get PRP for golfers elbow and get shockwave therapy on the same spot a week later? I am planning to get a few sessions of shockwave therapy and 3 doses of PRP for my injury that I have for over two years now. Would the shockwave negatively impact the PRP therapy if done so closely?
I'm terribly sorry to hear that. If you'd like to get to the root cause of this and see if our approaches could be helpful for you, please reach out to my clinic! regenerativeperformance.com
