I am so pleased with the results of my stem cell transplant for my shoulder and hip. I had a significant fall in May 2017 with damage to both areas mentioned. I kept thinking that if I gave my body time that it would heal on its own. Well this didn't happen, the ROM of my left shoulder and left hip diminished significantly over 3 months and the amount of pain was debilitating.

I couldn't even use my arm to use the handheld hair dryer cause I couldn't lift my arm that far. My hip also did not have the ROM needed for Daily Activities of Living. I went to see Dr. Glen Terry at GARM Clinic in July to find out that I probably had several tears in my shoulder, which a subsequent MRI identified.

The end of August I decided to schedule a Stem Cell Transplant. It was great to be awake and talk to the doctor and nurses and others helping during the procedure. I even had a sweet young intern holding my hand when I needed it, and talking to me to keep me distracted. They are so wonderfulI, they talk to you during the procedure to make sure that you are doing all right, and they explain everything that they are doing.

Forward three months: WooHoo! I had a great follow up appointment today! My range of motion is almost normal with both my left shoulder and hip, which will take a little more work on my part, exercising and stretching every day. No more pain, NADA, GONE totally! So glad I had this procedure instead of Surgery. It takes up to a full year for complete recovery with surgery and this is 3-6 months.

Amazing for sure. If anyone is thinking about having a Stem Cell Transplant procedure done, I would be willing to answer questions or refer to those who know! Thank you Dr. Terry, and the wonderful staff of GARM Clinic, you guys are the best !! After months of suffering from extreme ankle pain I was referred to the GARM Clinic.

The facility is modern and the staff is second to none. I feel like I have another family. Oh, and did I mention... 20 days after treatment I can walk almost normally again and 90% of the pain is gone and getting better day by day.

Thanks everyone, you made a huge difference in my life and I am very grateful.
