My biggest concern was having it done in a real doctors office---clean sterile environment, and having a real Doctor, knowledgeable and excited about the future of stem cells doing the procedure. I was fortunate and found these.
Now to wait and see if it does anything to regenerate my nerves...........

Please, tell me more about this procedure. Once they extract the stem cells from your abdomen are they injected into your ankles? Your feet? Or are they put into some growth medium first and eventually injected back into your body? Sorry if I'm sounding really dumb but I guess it's really obvious that I know zilch about the the process involved refrom my questions that I know very little about the what's actually involved in this process.
Today a podiatrist suggested infrared light therapy. I signed up for it but I have my doubts if it will really help me. Is it possible that this therapy is worth trying? Has anybody tried this or anything else? I need some guidance. Thanks.
