Hi Everyone,
It has been a year since my first two adipose stem cell treatments by Dr. Todd Malan of Scottsdale, Arizona. If you recall I suffer with chronic neuropathic pelvic pain due to complications of a hysterectomy in 1996. On September 5, 2014, I flew back to Scottsdale, Az for another 2 treatments of adipose stem cells. Dr. Malan & I decided that I needed another treatment due to continued pelvic pain. He felt that I had more tissue/nerve damage than what we both originally thought. However , saying that I will say that my pain scores did drop a couple points from the first two treatments. Dr. Malan wanted to build upon the work of the stem cells from the first two treatments. Dr. Malan & his new partner Dr. Lewis harvested 326 million stem cells from my adipose tissue of my abdomen!!! Last year Dr. Malan harvested 63 million. Dr. Malan told me that my stem cells were very healthy! He & I are expecting great results with this treatment ! I hardly felt any pain during the procedure! They used a lot of local anesthetic to keep me comfortable during the procedure. Dr. Malan injected a small amount into my damaged nerve area of my vaginal cuff. Then he gave the rest of the stem cells to me through my IV! My pain score was 5 before the procedure. When I arrived at my hotel 2 hours later my pain had dropped to 1!!! Today my pain level is still at 1. But what I have noticed is that it is more concentrated in one area. Plus it isn't radiating down to my labia. Also, this morning I woke up with a very moist mouth instead of a dry one from the narcotics. Dr. Malan wants me to journal a head to toe assessment daily! Dr. Malan will be taking a sabbatical for research at his new clinic in the Bahamas until next year. Dr. Lewis will be seeing patients at the Scottsdale clinic (Innovative Cosmetic Surgery Center. Dr. Malan told me that his clinic in the Bahamas are doing advanced heart stem cell techniques! I will keep everyone updated about my progress with this stem cell treatment! Take care.........Peg
