What is life-saving information I need to send advice please I am going through a lot of severe neck tension and aggravation and it's tore my quality of life to pieces within the past 5 years
I have had prolotherapy treatment three times in my life. No one comes even close to you guys in applying prolotherapy treatment. You are the gold standard.
I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis 20 years. Positive HLA-B27. My X-rays when I was 30 years old (20 years ago) showed calcification/ degeneration in the right SI joint. I am now 50 and in severe pain in my hips/SI joints and spine.i just had X-rays of hips/spine etc. and they told me my SI joint looks normal. 😳 What??!! How? I am beside myself because I feel awful😢
Very sad...in my country don't have much hospital...i have 1 year to have MRI...and now they sad normal..but my back head still heart...i think my nerve broken...can't nerve regenerate then self...please..i realy compused..
Your videos are so helpful. But in England the NHS doesn't do Digital motion xray. Is there a way we could diagnose sci through other scans? Your reply will be very useful. Thank you in advance. 🙏
Thanks for sharing Mhizz Lee- We can definitely appreciate your frustration, and that's why we made the video. It's really common that all hope is put into an MRI or CT to find something, but it ultimately didn't lead to answers as to what treatment would be ideal. If you would like our team to potentially see you here, we'd be happy to help. We wish you all the best in healing!
Can MRI show nerve damage? I forgot to tell my surgeon about the increase in numbness in my tibia he wants to do a MRI for a hematoma or cyst will it show when they do the scan..
Can a person have their case reviewed by your team from a distance if I'm able to acquire whatever tests are needed? How much does the review cost? Or do they need to be seen in person? I live in upstate NY and have been dealing with a crazy amount of the symptoms (for over 15 years) without any relief or found cause despite excessive medications and various treatments. I now see that majority of my symptoms are related to this diagnosis... and most others probably are due to having incorrect diagnoses for so long. Problem is... I'm at a point where I'm not sure I trust any doctors in my area to properly diagnose/treat. But I maybe if I get an official diagnosis & info about treatment recommendations for my specific case... I can get my insurance to cover the treatment with someone local. I'd love to have treatment done with your team... but sadly I don't even know if I can afford one trip (for a review) -- let alone many trips for treatment. Either way, your videos have given me hope... after being made to feel like I'm crazy for so long. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
I too Live in upstate NY close to Albany. Did you ever find a local doctor to help you with your pain? I have been going to a chiropractor for about 7 months with very little relief.
I'm suffering in Oregon also, everything normal and they said it's because of H. Pylori in my stomach. Sickening misdiagnosis. Mon 11/13/23 7am -Maggie
Can you do a video on regenerative non-invasive therapies to rebuild soft tissues for joints? For example, peptides, fortigel, glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate so hopefully you'll never need an invasive procedure.
Hi I am 48 years old and I have had vertigo for 2 years I've had dinner procedure done to my neck cuz of a abscess and I have had whiplash every time I sit up or sit on the toilet I feel like my head is wobbling and like if I'm rocking on a boat I've had several MRIs and CAT scans they say I have a pituitary tumor but that the pituitary tumor is not causing my vertigo when I turn to the left and to the right I hear ringing in my ears and when I put my head back all my skull hurts me I feel inflammation in my spine but the hospitals tell me that it's nothing I think I have cervical instability I have been an abusive relationship as well don't know what to do no more I go to bed dizzy wake up dizzy vision problems ringing in the ears I even have popping in my ears constantly that never goes away ENT doctor says that it's not my ears that it's coming from my brain that they're migraines I don't feel him I think my whole central nervous system is off balance but nobody can help me all these doctors that I'm going to neurologist neurosurgeons I'm also going through menopause all these doctors that I'm seeing and not one can really give me a diagnosis just only the tumor and that I got vertigo but then why do my ears hurt me and ringing in the ears even when I turn to the left and to the right I get severely dizzy and start having anxiety need help and I live in San Antonio Texas what do I do I also have insurance but it's Medicaid I've been miss diagnosed by many doctors cuz they say it's anxiety come on anxiety from when I get up and go to bed 24/7 heck no my eyes jump up and down when I get these dizzy spells and my spine hurts me and I feel like it's pulsating don't know what to do

Thank you for all your videos. I've had two cspine fusions in a year and two months afterwards got diagnosed with POTS and 1year later diagnosed with lems. My blood volume test was abnormal blood flow was not good. Now four years later being imaged for CCI in a few days. Mri and xrays. The Cleveland Clinic is handling all my care. Pots specialist and appt with neurosurgeon day after image's are taken. It's been a long road.
Hi Peter, Thanks for sharing, and we are glad that the videos have been helpful for you to navigate some of the underlying issues that may be happening in your case. We wish you all the best in healing!
Im going through a situation where few learned "doctors" have said everything is normal after misreading an MRI. Have chronic lower back pain for years. Sad we don't have actual doctors in India. Politicians and the rich go abroad for surgery or treatment. Would really appreciate if you guys could help or refer, it's affecting my quality of life.
I'm going to the same thing in my neck it literally makes me break down and cry and I'm 30 years old and I am not a baby and I cannot take this s*** no more it has me thinking about s*** that I would never think about I have family that I love so much and this s*** is disgusting I'm at the same place I don't know whether doctors are just stupid or if they're just told by higher up to not really help because whenever they're doing is not helping me
It actually sickkkkkk, the doctors get paid so much but can't figure out what's wrong with me if they could just take this tension and this tightness and is compacted feeling that's got me almost for a claustrophobic it's got me and panic mode I feel like I'm just stuck with this it's really affecting me so bad but no one can help it has been 5 years I am lost could please someone help me I'm begging you
Austin Cherr I can relate and the part about thinking of shit you never would have thought of... I get it. I'm in the same mind set. My neck is the problem too and im 33. The tension and claustrophobia feeling i have too, headaches, dizziness and flat out just not feeling right. I can't get any straight answer from a dr either. I'm trying an upper cervical chiropractor now. I've only gone 3x so far but gona give it a shot and commit to it to try getting some relief. Maybe try also if you can find one? Good luck to you
@@austincherr8619 Lord, please heal Austin and help the doctors find out what is causing his pain. Most importantly please heal him quickly. In Jesus name, amen.
Could this work for back pain? Asking for a friend who’s tried everything from years of Pt to stem cells to mri and X-ray to naturopaths and dry needling
If you could give me an answer you would help me tremendously. I injured my leg months ago, I couldent walk without experiencing severe amounts of pain. It hurt so bad I ended up with minor injuries in multiple other joints from Hauling this leg around. It’s been about 4 months now of basically no movement and everytime I start walking on this leg I get like a day in and I can’t walk anymore. The most amount of steps ive taken in months is 2000 in a day, that was today and the front of my knee feels like it got hit with a baseball bat. The terrible part is that my doctor got me an MRI at a cancer center out here, and it came up with nothing. Which actually made me feel even more hopeless cause I’d rather deal with surgery too get rid of this pain. I can’t work I can’t cook, I can barely get up and go too the bathroom and take a bath. It hurts so bad sometimes I fall asleep cause my body can’t take the pain. My doctor makes it out as atrophy, but I just can’t see this being normal at all. I’m atrophied forsure, I can’t squat at all, but the front of my knee is the only place I experience pain on my knee. Please if you could give me some form of hope that I’ll be able too walk again it would help so much. I’m so hopeless right now I really don’t know what too do anymore
I don't know what to think these doctors are crooked what the hell is going on RU-vid trying to figure out what's going on with these doctors being paid for right now dude I'm sick of it God bless you I hope you all get here I'm so sorry I'm going through a lot of neck tension and it's so terrible I understand your all's pain I'm so sorry
I was talking to my phone but I hope you all get healed we should not have to all be on RU-vid trying to figure out something that a doctor is supposed to figure out
I was in a accident in June 21 not bad Commercial vehicle reversed in to myself & a friend at about 10 mph. Next day all kinds of pain. X rays mri. 2 procedures,faucet blocks and rfa. Still in pain comes and goes right side back mainly at night,still off from work. Follow up 2 weeks.Mri. Showed issue lower back,but I still have pain plus mid high right side back pain seems worse.
@@SupremeODMG just got 2nd opinion results today from new dr. He said he would hold off on lower back I’ll likely need later on but suggest neck surgery c-5 and c-6 and I believe 2 I remember him saying a 3 level. I started noticing months after accident alote of weird headaches now off and on arm going numb.and the pain in upper back is coming in alote more frequently. He suggested hold off on l-4 l-5 s-1 fusion with instruments until later on as I’ll likely need it with bone graph.
@@ericmedina4002 wow. I had mri on head neck and brain and they dont think anytbing is causing my headaches there. But they only checked arterys. I believe my lower backs an issue too and my neck c1/c2 as well. My lower back hurts to press right in the middle on the bone
I have this problem for 2 years were now I can't do hardley anything when I walk for more then 3min my neck gets tight into my shoulders under my armpits and into my chest and abdomen and up my back I went to so many primary doctors and a back specialist they all have excuses not to give me a mri 2 years can't do anything anymore get dizzy norseuse and feel sick my doctors do nothing I feel like I'm going to die some times I tell them I have a tarlov cyst degenerative disc disease but they take blood test always for 2 years my sed rate is 32 but they say a mri is only if there going to give a patient surgery it's like rediculous I suffer everyday thinking how I can't do anything anymore but the doctors do nothing what can I do I'm 49 years old

I’ve had a cadaver cartilage graft for my articulate cartilage on the lateral side of my knee 6 years ago. I’m only 28 and I’m starting to have pretty significant arthritis on that side of the knee. I’ve had MRIs show close to full-thickness loss of cartilage. 1. Can prolotherapy help my condition (which is due to trauma, as opposed to degeneration)? 2. Can prolotherapy help heal cadaver tissue? I’ve heard it’s not as helpful of it’s not your own tissue.
Hi Bobby, Great questions and glad you are looking into the possibilities of regenerative therapies to help you avoid further surgery. Prolotherapy is used in both cases of degeneration over long periods of time as well as traumatic injuries. While the initial injury prior to surgery may have been traumatic, continuing to have pain and joint/cartilage breakdown would indicate that the joint is in a degenerative state. After knee surgery, the joint is more unstable, and therefore accelerated degeneration of the tissue continues, even after a cadaver or other implant. This is why so many patients often end up doing surgery after surgery yet still have pain and are unable to return to full function. We see patients post-knee surgery in our office very frequently and help many of them avoid additional surgeries, including replacement. Prolotherapy is not to treat the cadaver tissue, rather to treat your own ligament attachments that need to be strong in order to stabilize the knee and slow the aggressive degeneration that occurs with joint instability. We would ultimately need to review your case in more detail and see you in person to examine your knee under ultrasound and other physical exams and watch you walk, bend, etc, as well as discuss your current activities and athletic goals going forward. We'd be happy to help! You're welcome to reach out to us about the details regarding your case anytime. www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-knee-pain/#get-help-now There are also a lot of articles on our site that go into much greater detail about Prolotherapy for post-surgical knee pain that you may find helpful. Wish you all the best in healing, Bobby. Take care.
I got my second lumbar MRI the last week and everything was normal in that area but I have like a mild sciatica who goes from my butt to my foot (especially the big toe feels weird). I have been trying to find a solution to this since months but no solution yet. The muscle of my butt and leg are weak and smaller than the good side and when I walk I notice like a gait. An EMG showed a radiculopathy in l5/s1 but the MRI is normal... I don't know what else to do, just turned 32 a couple of months with the feeling that my life is ruined by this...
Bro, don't lose hope. Sciatica is recoverable. watch as many videos as you want on YT and take action on an everyday basis. Things definitely will be good
Here in the uk knee mri are carried out laying down, it’s the height of stupidity as it needs to be done under load, I question this and was fed a load of bs, I work on the railways for 30 years and know the track can look perfect when not under load but actually be very unstable when a train passes over, obvious to me but Doctor here are a joke.
Stevie- that is a perfect analogy with the railway track. Thanks for sharing that. It is the same here in the US- MRIs are almost always performed while the patient is laying down and then left with no answers as to why they have pain. There are a few specialists who will do motion imaging, and we are one of those places. Thus, many patients finally get the answers they were searching for and can lead to more understandable treatment options that are trying to get to the root cause of the problem. Wish you all the best in finding a great doctor close by. If you ever travel to the US, we'd be happy to help you here. We treat patients from the UK, although we know it is not feasible for everyone to travel for medical care. Thanks again for sharing that great analogy.
I’m in this situation after having my back and (back n front of )neck fused in 2016 -2017 4 surgeries in total but failed I’m in a lot of pain I have had mri,X-ray,ct but several doctors say that everything is normal but I am in pain which is driving me crazy any help would be greatly appreciated thank you 🙏
Jesse, I have not had any spinal surgery bc the 6 surgeons I consulted said I had too many issues including facet joint arthritis. At least on my lumbar spine,. The cervical they said only Maybe a candidate if it becomes unbearable. So I continue to persue my resolve. This Doctor and his associates seem to Really pinpoint the issues of Spinal instabilities. It is and makes temendous common sense.
Hi Jesse, Very sorry to hear about your chronic pain for the past few years and especially after you tried surgery. Glad that you are looking into various options to explore that can get to the root cause of what is causing your pain. We do see many post-fusion cases here and would be happy to review your whole case in greater detail if you wanted our opinion on your case and see if you sound like a good candidate for our center. You're always welcome to reach out to us directly. We wish you all the best in healing as you navigate your options. Take care for now, Jesse.
Hi Jesse just curious did you ever figure out what's going on with your neck because if it's driving me nuts to it's in the back of my neck it feels like the back right side of my neck is swollen every doctor saying that it's not it feels normal all the MRI and can't scans are showing normal it shows I have a pinched nerve and my MRI and it shows possibly some arthritis is there any way you can help me out I'm so sorry you're going through that I hope you've been healed if you have any recommendations please tell me and I will be more than happy to do it my quality of life is gone it is absolutely ridiculous that I have been going through this for 5 years and no doctor can give me any relief in this area please could you help me out
Neuroleptics cause more issues i can feel it is unstable i was fine before apart from. Back sacro iliac joint is partially fused hole in. Acetabulum. Leaking fluid.malicious health visitors do thpugh in correctly so.
Would this work for muscle pain too? I injured my upper abdomen 7 years ago. All my scans have been clean so far. I always tried laying as still as possible during my scans but most of my pain happens when I’m leaning forward, reaching or lifting.
Hi Kyren, Sorry to hear about the injury to your abdomen. We would need to know more details about your case and scans in order to determine if it is something that we thought we could help you resolve here. Or, if you are asking bout Prolotherapy in general, but not looking to specifically come to our office, you would want to reach out to the specific doctor's office whom you wanted to go to and have them review your case. Wish you all the best in getting to the bottom of what is happening and restoring your full function! Take care.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Hi, I guess I’m actually just wondering if the same thing can apply to muscles as it may with joints. Like how in the video you guys explain that motion imaging may catch the actual pain source. Might it be possible for motion imaging to capture a damaged muscle? Years ago, I strained myself to the point where I immediately thought I tore the top row of my abdominal muscles, but all of the tests have shown no indication of a tear. 2 ct scans, ultrasound(laying completely still) blood work and an mri.
I just had my x rays get back got injured in February 2nd of this most recent year for a lower back injury bending forward lifting well over 100 lbs and twisting g repetitively doing that lotion lord then 35 times. I weight 105 so I was lifting well over body weight. Been through physical therapy and that made it worse. I got diagnosed for tronchantric bilateral bursistis which is affecting my hips at night and walking. It’s hard to walk up stairs I can’t stand for longer then 30 minutes without needing to change my position of my spine because it hurts. I don’t get good sleep. I have memory problems. My balence is off and I’m very weak all the time. I have to walk up stairs and that is super painful to do and hard - often I feel the other hips compensating the other. I’m not working because I can’t maintain a normal job because of pain. I get back spasms I’ve had an MRI that showed degenerative discs and bulging discs that they told me were due to age ? And mild facet hypertrophy. I sleep every night and can’t help my body to not turn on its sides and man do each of my hips hurt like really bad when I lay of them. Just had an x ray come back and it was normal ? Which upsets me because I deal with this existent pain every night. I’m wondering if it might be possible to get your medical team to evaluate my information or look. I have Kaiser so they should be the best at finding out what is going on but so far I’ve been sent to acupuncture asked to get injections on my lower back which I haven’t done because the needles are long. I’ve gotten injections to both my hips though because of severe pain. It’s hard to walk I’m on the waiting list for disability So any professional medical advice you may think or add for me may help me in this case. I can’t dance anymore like I use to or stand for a long time go hiking on uneven hills and not care Or go to the gym with my husband. I’d really love somebody who knows and CARES what they are doing to help. Thanks for sharing such a informative video
Consumer please help me I'm going to very severe neck pain it's been 5 years and no doctor can help me, I've got MRIs and CAT scans everything they're showing my email address I have a pinched nerve and it shows some possible arthritis in my neck can anybody help me while I cannot get this to go away it is waking me up on my sleep now I want to go to the email this morning it will not go away, this is absolutely the worst almost uncomfortable inconvenient feeling I have ever felt and also it is affecting everything in my life
Please consider give me advice or something that they think this might be in my neck please it's in the back right of my neck and behind my ear while tighten my neck muscles up it pops I do not know I feel like the right side of the back of my neck is swollen doctors are saying that it feels normal I lost it's like they do not believe me when I told him the severity they're sending me to talk to somebody for my anxiety they're blaming it on anxiety what the hell is going on
I fractured my l2 and l3 5 months ago mri says its healed dr says im fine and should have no limitations but i can barly work 3 or 4 hours and cant preform hard labor its hard to get jobs cause i cant get jobs with limitations set why is it so hard to give someone something that says he has limitations from spinal injury should not be lifting heavy objects or jobs that require alot of bending
Unfortunately if only it was that easy to say pain can be seen on an MRI.. However the research doesn't support that claim at all. Pain is multivariate and dictated by physical, psychological & environmental factors to name just a few. Yet mechanical abnormalities are seen in nearly every MRI - for patients with pain or without pain. To that point 75% of athletes over 18 that play football have hip cartilage tears with no pain. To say that they need motion imaging is outdated and basically says everyone pain is mechanical by nature. Which is false.
In this case, how would pain that isn't being seen on imaging be explained? What can we do when we are told there's nothing showing that explains our pain/injury?
Hi Robert, The closest option is Candlewood Suites which is right behind the office. A lot of patients stay there because they have kitchenettes and within walking distance. May be something to consider.
