Hi Dr. Wise Young,
my Dad has a tumor removed from his spinal cord in 2009. It is a benign tumor but due to the removal it causes damaged to his spinal cord system and he is experiencing pain especially at his lower part of the body. Around 3 years ago he had an ANS St. Jude neuro-stimulator implanted, but now according to him, it is not working properly to reduce his pain. Currently he is taking lyrica every 3 hours to ease his pain.
My question is that what direction of treatment should we be looking at as I notice there are several options such as:
1/ May be the ANS neurostimulator not working/configured properly, so reprogram/reposition the device could reduce the pain problem he is experiencing
2/ or may be we should look at the alternative approach such as the stem cell treatment in China. and if so what is the best one? I notice there the one using Schwann cell (KunMing hospital), umblical cord (Guang Zhow hospital), and fetal stem cell (Wu Medical center).
Your opinion on this is highly appreciated Sir. Thanks Dr. Wise.
Yours Sincerely,
Rommy Rempas
