How is it working out for you? Have not really seen much of a report on how it is working out for you.

 

Hi Joonie,

No Ra but still trying to work out frozen shoulders but it looks like some correctice surgies ahead.

I had to cancel 1 yr follow up in Chicago because cash poor but still in contact with team and they get regular reports.  I am somewhat regretful procedure was not available sooner before all the damage was done. But hey, it was not known to me.

Thanks for your interest.

:) LuAnn

Cool! I hope it continues to work for you. As for the frozen shoulder, I hope the surgeries to fix that work out great for you.

Keep us posted if you can. I know a lot of people will be interested in this if you continue to do well and report back.

Good Luck!!

I had the frozen shoulder too.  That's what started the beginning of the end of remission.  And of course, the one that chose to freeze is or rather was the one I had the most range of motion in.  Are they talking about shoulder replacement for you, Luann?  When I met with an ortho surgeon on this, he didn't want to do it yet because my pain level wasn't there. 

Steph,

My frozen shoulders are result of sepsis/PICC line infections and thyroid that compounded problem with scar tissue, contractures & lesions. My rotary cuff seems to be intact. I would do surgery if reccommended but I am most sure the stem cell team will say a very loud NO until after five years of recovery.
