How sad. Biologics and stem cells seem so promising. I don't know any horror stories... I know of some people who have not gotten the benefit they sought.

Mark,

I know of someone that only got 20% disc bulge reduction with 1 injection. However, maybe they just need 1 or 2 more injections. For my knee I needed 5 injections to get significant cartilage growth.
