Honey, waste another 8-12 grand and get stem cell, then get fused. At least it's not 20k like I did with supposably the top stem cell prolotherapist, Dr Hauser in Chicago. Maybe Pettine will inject you with Ketamine with a kick of Ginger w/Green Tea mixed with your bone marrow from your iliac crest. If stem cell worked I wouldn't have gotten surgery and that girl wouldn't have either, because it would have been the cure. You will get your answers this week from Bierstedt and Clavel. I'm done, this non-sense is incredulous! I'll probably get reported again like when I was in elementary school for picking my nose in class.

I am starting to get very frustrated and annoyed that you are trying to sabotage my postings. This is very rude and disrespectful as everyone here on the boards are trying to help one another and support Phatbird. If you haven't noticed, we all contribute in our own way and respect one another. It is apparent, you were never taught as a child how to be respectful.

I am trying to figure out where you have come up with these costs and it is obvious you know nothing about using stem cells, costs and the different procedures. So I am going to kindly ask that you try to refrain from responding to my posts and let me share my story.

For everyone who does want to hear about my stem cell procedure and are interested in it--I would be happy to share my story with you. however. In the meantime, I am going to sit back and give Phatbird the opportunity to continue to share her story as it is very obvious, she is suffering and needs our support.

Exclamation

Grt8, you don't need to get reported -- enough eyes (including mine) are watching your posts by now.

"Honey?" Maybe that's OK for your spouse, but not here. Be respectful when posting:

If people talked like that in a work environment, they would be reprimanded or fired.

Harrison, I'm very close to her! Bottom line is she's a great friend and special person to me. This is not a work environment, and she's the only person I would acknowledge stating "Honey ". I guess, I should have stated that before posting. To say the least, we are very close and call each other that.
I shouldn't even have to explain myself anyway. Hope all is well, and I'm only here to share my experiences and to help others. Once again, thanks for the add

So let me recap, you and your friend joined this board at the same time. Your friend reached out for our thoughts and assistance which we have tried to give to her. When you don't like what we have to say, you slam our suggestions because they did not work for you. Apparently, only surgery by Dr. Clavel or Dr. Bierstedt are the only solutions acceptable to you and since we have a 3rd world healthcare system, everyone should leave and go elsewhere for help. I think you have made your opinions abundantly clear now. My post was considered stupid to you so you ridiculed my "holistic" and other suggestions not just once but three times in separate posts over the last week. I feel like you've been egging me on for some reason I will never understand. Later you referred to Colorado Babe as "that girl." She is retired military BTW and deserves to be treated with much more respect. We don't refer to you as "that boy." I will not be replying to this thread or any of your future posts because it's just a set up for your angry comments. (I am happy to PM with Phatbird privately.) I am in a lot of pain still and certainly don't need this kind of treatment. I too was just trying to help out your friend with suggestions on things that have helped me to have less pain until I can have surgery again and hopefully, get my spine fixed. I guess no good deed goes unpunished.
