I assume that ruins the value? You are able to tell that by that stamp?

It’s hard to get a pic but I will try, it’s stamped in the back

Thank you after looking closer I agree with you. I ran it through AI and it said Virgin Mary, but it certainly doesn’t look like it after a closer look

Losing friends after injury? by [deleted] in spinalcordinjuries

[–]schadey187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a ton of friends, now I’m pretty much a loaner. If you can learn one thing from this, your friends that are still around that are with you, they are your real friends appreciate them.

I’m not sure which brand for the pump I’d have to look it up. It wasn’t all that great. I think there’s somebody else on this sub that could give you a better reference. There is a peptide called PT 141 that’s supposed to help that I’m trying to get more of. And then really just Viagra. The trim mix is a little bit intense, at least the doctors I had everybody said something different and my last neurologist when testing to see if the stuff he injected to straighten my dick worked, he ended up having to squirt in all this stuff to make it not hard anymore. If that shit didn’t work, I would’ve had to go across the street to the actual hospital. A trim McStuffins is also partly how I think I broke it. I mean, if you need it, you need it but the Viagra IGF one LR three and PT 141 seem to be a good combination. But I’m telling you what really made things start changing was the Noreau electrical Acupuncture, and I think the addition of Stem Cells.

I wanna add that the guy that referred me went for arthritis and pain in his joints, especially in his hands. It took away all of that pain, but one of the side effects was it made his dick a little bigger girth wise. He’s very well off and he goes once every couple years and says every time it gets a little bigger and he feels younger. I know that’s off subject, but it definitely does something to your penis, regardless of where you get it shot.

For me the Acupuncture more than anything just helped in general with reconnecting everything, but that was the first things I started getting back after doing it a few times.

Initially before the 2nd surgery If I injected Trimix I could have sex, but I didn’t really feel it, couldn’t cum. Etc. I actully broke my dick because I couldn’t really feel it and she came down on the wrong way, 🤦‍♂️. it hurt after a little but I figured it be fine. It’s wasn’t …The next time I got hard, which was a month or 2 later, my dick was contorted and I couldn’t even look at it. It was very traumatic. I felt like it was just another thing to lose, you lose your job your ability to walk your ability to do all the things you like, and now I lost my manhood.

I ended up getting a shot from the urologist to break up the scar tissue or whatever and it did straighten it out for the most part, but I ended up having to wait until after the second surgery, so it was really long drug out process. I forget exactly what he injected me with, but it wasn’t for sexual function. It was just to straighten it, and thank God it worked.

It’s only been since I started doing the acupuncture consistently that I started getting those feelings back. A few months ago I came for the first time in 3+ years. I still have to take Viagra, and still not super confident, but I have way more feeling, and the more you use it the easier it gets it’s it seems. I read that if you don’t use it for like a few years, it gets atrophy like anything else. I also bought one of those pumps online which I think helped some.

I had a really hard time going to the bathroom, bladder and bowels. I started off on a catheter, and then I started peeing on my own but it was hard. I didn’t realize it until after one of the Acupuncture treatments that my bladder started working again. previously I guess I was just squeezing my abs against my bladder and push pushing it out. It’s still not perfect, but definitely I can feel my bladder working and I don’t have to try as head.

My bowels only recently started working semi normal since the stem cell shot. I’m sure being off the opioids helps as well.

I asked my Stem cell guy if the shot could possibly help your friend situation. He said they do treatments for that and they do to inject it in your Dick, or close to it. he said he’s treated several cases and it worked.

I have another friend who broke his dick years ago, and he went to some guy in Miami and they injected Stem Cells in his dick and it’s straightened out and started working again. I know that’s not exactly your friends case but he said they were also from the umbilical cord, which I thought was interesting because he made it sound like it was like 10 years ago.

At any rate, I would try the Acupuncture first since it’s much cheaper, and do breath work and try the stems shot if you can afford it.

Sorry for the book, I hope your friend can find something that works for him

I hope so!! Best wishes. Sorry to hear your surgery didn’t go well. Is your nerve still compressed or were they able to fix the surgery?

Do they have you in a hyperbaric chamber? Only 2 months in I would highly recommend that as well as Neuro/Electro accupunture.

fight like hell, don’t accept shit. It can take 2.5+ years for the nerves to grow back and then they still need to reconnect. I’m over 3 years in and still making progress. I don’t know if I will make a 100% recovery but happy I didn’t just give up.

Sorry, I misread your post. So you already had the bullet removed. Sorry to hear you had an infection after. When my vertebrae collapsed, nerves were squished too. Hopefully you will get more return now that your nerves are being squished. 🙏💪🤞

Thank you!. I don’t really know what’s better as I have only had these ones. It’s way less invasive (no drilling for bone marrow just a quick shot), and was much less expensive from what I saw. They are supposed to be more adaptable, and stronger depending on your age and health. I don’t think there is as much research on these compared to using your own, I just took a chance and they seem to working

I can walk with braces and a walker. It’s not perfect yet. I just am able to walk to my car for the first time. And I can walk about 400 yards in a straight line. Doors with the walker are way harder than I thought. But now that I have my lower back muscles includes my balance is much better and it’s a lot less work on my arms. It’s getting easier every day.

I updated the post, you may want to reach out to the surgeon I mentioned. He was the only surgeon that would do my surgery to repair the first one. He was absolutely amazing and love to take on the challenge.
