[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1617759, member: 25884"] I will do the research on the orthocell. I've done prolotherapy and then went to PRP which is like the next step.... platelet rich plasma..... injected back into the joints to add blood cells for regeneration. Very popular in Europe. Wanted to do stem cell, and that is one reason why I picked this particular dr at Duke in NC. But he said that he just didn't think that it would help, that there was too much wear. He said he could spend my money, since any of that is still not covered by insurance, and I have spent plenty over the 2 years of PRP and such..... but he just didn't feel like I would get any results. That is what I wanted, a straight forward opinion. Since he does stem cell, he would benefit either way. So, I got my ducks in a row, and made the plans, and just put it off a month because of my son's unexpected mishap. Now, I just have to do the rehab and since there was no fusion of the other joint, should be up and going alot sooner. Have had 7 different ones in here today; PT, OT, case worker, admissions, you name it..... They are going to at least put an "egg crate" under for more support/comfort on the mattress but are looking to see if they can get a different bed that sits up higher too for when I am "resting" and sitting up to use the computer. So, things are looking up. Just hate the "elegant" old folks atmosphere.......I feel like I am in one of those old time movies from when the priviledged would go to a "resort" to take the "cures" with the soft big band and piano music, and they talk about "nothing". Definitely not in my social circles or my normal farmer groups. They are all old here too, I am the youngest and most active one they have here according to the CNA who is real nice. [/QUOTE]
