Gelstix experience

[desertrunnerr]

I have very degenerated discs L4-5 and L5-S1. I have been in contact with 2 doctors. One wants to put in Gelstix and the other say that the discs are so colapsed at that levels that GelStix would be a waste of time and money.

Any one that have got Gelstix and could tell me the experience?

I'm interested in what you say about Gelstix as I too looked into this. Was it Mr Knight you saw? I ended up with a regular consultant giving me injections and I'm now going onto have the nerves supplying the joints ablated... It has been reasonably successful. I wanted the Gelstix not because they pump up flattened broken discs but because they mediate the inflammatory process and I thought less inflammation equals less pain. But I think the doctor got the wrong end of the stick thinking that I thought it was like a disc replacement.... Anyway, I think it sounds promising. Keep us posted. 😜

Where do you find doctors that offer Gelstix?. I have been searching online for days with no results except for the one in Germany And one in California.

There is a doctor in Texas that offers fibrin injections which also continues to heal the desk from the inside, which makes a lot of sense to me plus it’s your own blood fibrin.

Thank you!
