I wonder if stem cell therapy could help with the severe post stroke pain some get due to wildly contracting muscles?
It would seem that those damaged cells causing the problem would still there, whereas giving movement back is essentially replacing dead cells.
My question would be would it help those like me with severe Peripheral Neuropathy due to pinched spinal nerves. All the seizure drugs they’ve tried have had such horrible side effects, the only one that doesn’t is Valium, and 20 mg is the limit the DEA allows, I need 30 mg for 24 hrs, and that only brings the level 9 pain down to level 4. My entire right side is effected and it grow worse as the disc in the spine continue to narrow, grow, spurs, protrusions, herniate, or bulge, I’ve 4 annular tears in those disc.
I know my crap Medicare/Tricare Life would not cover anything like this, they don’t even want to cover needed Lasik surgery to correct my botched vision. It is considered cosmetic.
