Regenexx stem cells for L3/4
With everything I have had with my spine (ADR L4/5 and L5/S1, posterior decompression of L4/5 and L5/S1 after ADR, piriformis muslce removal, SI joint / ligament PRP injections), you would think I would learn. But no I overdid things in my yard (had an ax out cutting bushes). I ended up with some tingling in my L3/4 area and some weakness in front of thigh (L4 nerve?). I have an MRI from 2008 that shows L3/4 as some bulging with some facet hypertrophy. No big dela I had hoped. This has been going on for 6 weeks.
I have decied to get a new MRI, start PT, and schedule a Regenexx stem cell disc procedure at L3/4. I will keep my results posted for others. By the way I have had good success with the Regenexx procedure for both my knees and my shoulder.

I got my MRI results back and they don't show any changes to the L3/4 disc from 12/08. Therefore my pain is most likely due to SI joint, SI ligaments and iliolumbar ligament strains. I have gotten some improvement with physical therapy (extension/flexion machine and decompression machine). I am scared to do any RF since it is more of a band aid. I want the tissue to heal not to just kill it. Any thoughts? I will probably try some prolotherapy and PRP as well.
