Thank you for your detailed update. It’s video’s like these that help change people’s lives for the better.
You’re welcome, I was glad to do it ! Thank you for the very kind comment, it’s much appreciated.
Congratulations Megan I’m so happy for you and hoping for the same success with my recent diagnosis
Thank you Grayson, I hope all goes well for you.
happy to see you had sucess !!!
What a gift this is for us. And congratulations on your health ❤
OMG your visual, bladder, sinus, neuro issues match mine. Wow!! If you can attest to this then maybe there is hope out there, the dry eye part is something I can’t believe. As well as focusing the eyes.
Wow I think you had almost every cervical symptom going on at the same time... and then nonchalantly added Lyme disease! Fixing this issue has been a miracle for me too so glad you are better and sharing your story people really need to know about this. Though I chose a different method NUCCA chiropractic both it and prolotherapy are about moving the neck bones back in proper place. I think prolo is better for ligament damage however....don't quote me on that ask a doctor not a surfer!
I’m so glad NUCCA helped you!
These are my exact symptoms. I hurt my neck while swimming and haven't been the same since. I live in Phoenix and I found Dr. Fred Arnold who does wholistic/naturalistic medicine including prolotherapy and I have a cervical MRI (with flexion and extension) lined up for 2 days from now that should show me if I have cervical instability or not. The suspense is killing me but Megan you probably know exactly what that feels like! Thank you for sharing your story.
You’re welcome, I hope you find healing on your journey ahead!
really admire your strength and glad your doing a lot better! I suspect I have some instability in my neck too, but c1 prolotherapy is seemingly hard to come by
Thank you, I appreciate it!! I agree, C1 Prolotherapy is hard to come by, but from my experience under the right doctor it’s worth it. I did a lot of research and ended up going to Caring Medical. I recommend their facility.
@@meganklee659 did you ever consider regenexx?if so what swayed your decision? I'm debating on either or but I'm not too sure.
@@WienzYT I did consider regenexx. Ultimately what swayed my decision is that I have a specialist who I trust who referred me to hauser, I greatly trust her expertise. I also have a friend who had much worse instability than me, she went to hauser, and I saw her tremendous recovery. Lastly, I met hauser and staff and after meeting them felt confident in going.
Thank you so much for posting this. There’s so little information out there regarding this treatment, and stories like yours give me a lot more peace with the prolo/stem cell treatment I was already planning on doing
You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear it brought peace. I hope your prolo/stem cell treatment is successful!!
How r u doing now ???
@@Krishanapanchaal1 Just did the occult tethered cord surgery as that was much more severe than my CCI and am doing a LOT better now. But I still haven't done the prolo yet as my cervical spine degeneration has basically paused for some unknown reason. Will still do it at some point in the future though
@@thewanderingwizard6894 do u have eds
@@Krishanapanchaal1 I tested negative for all the genetic forms of EDS, but talking to various doctors it's unclear if I have hEDS. I am hypermobile though and I have both lyme and collagen antibodies which means my joints typically degenerate over time. Not sure why it seems to have slowed the past couple years
I have been struggling for several years with so many of the symptoms you've described, but at a lower severity, yet are so traumatizing. I've just recently learned about the way cervical spine instability causes the varied mentioned symptoms and the remedy prolotherapy provides. I am currently undergoing this procedure, and am optimistic that if you benefited so extraordinarily from it, I will also relieve my issues and boost my health. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, prayers for the journey ahead💛
How r u doing now
@@Krishanapanchaal1 My headache mildly decreased after the third prolotherapy session but all other symptoms persisted as before. The cervical spine pain, which also radiated to the shoulder, slightly withdrew after the second prolozone session. I had a very brief improvement of my general condition after my second atlas adjustment, which afterwards resumed to default mode. I should have consulted the upper cervical chiropractor, which performs my atlas adjustments, in the first place. Among all the doctors I have seen, this is the one which best understood and explained my situation. The prolotherapy and prolozone procedures I underwent were the only ones accessible to me at the time. I have had 4 prolotherapy sessions, 3 prolozone sessions, 3 atlas adjusments, so far.
I highly recommend for anyone dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome, or other similar issues, to get in touch with an upper cervical chiropractor. This procedure is non-invasive, cost-effective, and triggers the self-healing functions of the body. Consequent adjustments are required due to the tendency of the vertebrae and muscles to throw the atlas out of alignment. Doc also recommended I use topical magnesium oil which relaxes muscles.
I was already aware of the role patience plays in this lengthy journey but am confident that it will be worth the pursuit!
Thank you for sharing!! This is so similar to me. I started my prolotherapy just recently. I also noticed you’re in the same Facebook groups I’m in. I private messaged you!
You’re welcome! I will go look at your message.
How r u doing now hannah
Glad it helped! CCI/AAI is sooo bad. I also have POTS/MCAS Symptoms. I'm from Germany and upright mri costs 700€ and prolotherapy is pretty rare, there are only a few docs that even know about CCI/AAI. I can't work so I really don''t know how to get money to try prolo myself.
I know some people will fundraise for treatment, create a gofund me etc., if they have no other choice. I’m glad the video was helpful. I hope you’re able to find relief and treatment.
@@meganklee659 Thanks and god bless you 🙏
What an amazing story, I am so glad you have shared it! I hope it will encourage lots of people to find relief through regenerative medicine. I loved listening to you list off so many things that have either improved or gone away completely! ❤️️ So many of the symptoms you listed reminded me of lyme disease/neurological lyme. Lots of people report forgetting where they are while driving, walking, etc. I wonder if there is a connection there at all & if prolotherapy could help some lyme patients neurologically. So many unknowns! You are so great!
Reading this made my day, seriously, thank you Rachael! I hope for the same things. I’ve had very similar thoughts about the neurological Lyme. I was expecting to experience more of my neurological symptoms during herxheimers and at the beginning of Lyme treatment, but thus far I haven’t! It’s been a happy surprise. You’re right, so so many unknowns. 💛
Hi I love you videos, I'm perusing prolo and prp
@@connoredwards7199 Thank you, that’s awesome you’re pursuing regenerative medicine.
If possible/interested, read "starving to heal in Siberia". A lady from the US who cured her advanced lyme disease by dry fasting in a retreat with a Russian Doctor.
Thank you so much for sharing
You’re welcome
Your symptoms list is exactly mine. I got help with most of the symptoms on the list from an acdf of c4/5 and cord detethering. Facing the occipital fusion now but sure the heck would like to avoid it. Just not sure that’s possible at 56. Thx for sharing your story.
You’re welcome! I was a candidate for occipital fusion, but in hindsight am extremely grateful I did Prolotherapy first, at the very least to know I had expended all options before a fusion. I wish you all the best. From my understanding it seems like a highly successful treatment option across all age ranges. That’s amazing you’ve already gotten some relief!
@@meganklee659 hi are you completely free from CCI and it's symptoms and living normal life ?
Praise GOD Praise GOD Praise GOD !!! what a Great recovery !!! Praise Jesus !!! ALL GLORY TO GOD !!! : ) : ) : )
Wow. Literally going through almost an exact similar list of symptoms myself. I'm pretty much disabled at the moment. Unable to walk more than 10 minutes without crumbling to the ground. I've had convulsions, developed POTS, constant extreme vertigo, forgetting how to speak, dystonia, the whole left side of my body partially paralyzes at times, severe nuerological issues and the worlds worst migraine that won't quite go away. Been in emergency room pretty much twice a week and they don't have a clue, leaning towards psychosomatic. Really happy you're on your way to recovery! Glad it worked out for you
Pretty much all quickly fell apart in 2 or so months quite drastically. From a fit and healthy 24 year old to completely bed bound and being told to get over it
I’m so sorry to hear about your experience, I would highly recommend looking into CCI. A lot of doctors will try and convince you it’s psychosomatic when they genuinely don’t know what’s going on or are incompetent and calloused. Even if something is enhanced by our psyche, that doesn’t explain biologically why you’re predisposed. I would encourage you to keep looking for treatments and relief. Prolotherapy was a significant part of healing for me, it’s worth it at least to look into.
“The problem with psychosomatic diagnoses is that they can never be proven. They are names we give to illnesses when we can’t find a biological cause but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one. MS was called hysterical paralysis right up to the day they invented a CAT scan. It went from hysterical to real. It’s always tempting to look at the past as something strange and distant, to say ‘Thank God we know better now.’ But what I could never have imagined, had I not gotten this disease, is that we’re still doing this.”

@@ghostlyedward I had all the same symptoms too and lots of doctors told me it was in my head. I got the digital motion xray and you can see clear as day my vertebrae are moving in ways they shouldn't move and my head/neck ligaments are too stretchy. I'm looking into Eds and ways to treat it now.
@@ghostlyedward I am 24 and experiencing exactly the same thing. It's horrific. Started April 4th last year overnight, still in bed. Struggling with full body weakness right now, no official diagnosis other than anxiety smh
Incredible. I am going through this condition myself. Please don’t remove your videos, people like myself need to hear about stories like yours!
Hopefully, soon your brain fog will go away too.
Thank you for your kind words. I plan to keep the videos up! I hope you’re able to find help for your CCI.
It’s like listening to my life story.
I’m happy for you you found a solution while you’re still young.
I’m 57 now and my life has been ‘challenging’. I’m exhausted.
I have been close to death so many times. Nobody understood why. Such a lonely journey.
I found out about prolotherapy only recently. I will have my first appointment in a few days. I have no idea if there is not way too much damage by now, but I will give it a try for sure. Exciting.
Fingers crossed.
Have a blessed life.
Thank you for watching my journey, I’m glad to hear it resonated, although grieved for the circumstances in which it’s under. I was lucky in finding Prolotherapy considerably early in life, I know that’s not the case for most. Thank you for sharing, your journey seems nothing short of difficult. If you have CCI, I’m hopeful regenerative medicine will be helpful!! I’ve heard stories of people having CCI for years with severe symptoms and having full recoveries. There’s hope. All the best.
How did it go?
@@Sara-world I’ve had 11 or 12 (lost count) treatments so far. I go there every 4 weeks. It’s a long and intense road for me. They had no idea if it would even work in my case, but I’m glad to say: it’s working. It’s gonna take a while though. The whole position of my neck is changing. That’s a lot of adjustment. And that’s hard, really hard.
When I started I couldn’t keep my head up anymore. The whole neck had collapsed. The muscles in the back were hard as a rock. All the vertebrae were sticking out.
I still have about 4-6 treatments to go. It’s not stable yet but I can keep my head up, the muscles are adjusting bit by bit, my neck looks like a normal neck again.
It’s been a energy draining proces but it’s an absolute miracle treatment. This should be available everywhere.
@@hendrikje5952 wow so interesting and wonderful to hear it's working for you! I can't imagine how expensive so many treatments has been. Did you go to caring medical too?
@@Sara-world No I live in the Netherlands. We have one clinic here that does prolotherapy like this.
My healthinsurance pays a small part of it. And I’m getting some help from social services. Very thankful.
Hey Megan,
Ive been treating lyme and i have upper cervical instability from a MVA and start prolotherapy in three weeks to help hold my atlas adjustments.
Glad your in much better place 💜
Praying for a speedy recovery💛
@@meganklee659 thanks gurl 💜
Did you get the prolotherapy? Did it help you?
@@JacksonStar4757 no i didnt start it i went down another route for investigations i am seeing a neuro interventional radiologist who has done mri, mra, mrv, cta, ctv scans as i have pulsatile tinnitus he did find mild jugular vein compression at c1 c2 & styloid due to mva id say, also still wants me to get a cathetor angiogram done at some stage as final test.
@@rikkijhogan Thank you for replying. Oh lord I hope I don't have to get the cathetor angiogram. I went to Dr Hauser at Caring Medical and the ultrasounds they did showed blood flow of my internal jugular was so bad that Dr Hauser wants me to get CTV scan and an MRI since I have not had an MRI. We're sure I have upper cervical instability so I'm prob gon need prolotherapy regardless but I guess doc wants to rule out other more serious things as well
Thank you for sharing...I have POTS also
You’re welcome!
Lookin great megan. Question, Are you getting a comprehensive treatment? Im trying to find a experienced doctor for my Chronic lumbar injury
Thank you! I did not get Prolotherapy for my lumbar spine, my problems were primarily upper cervical.
That’s awesome you got better! I just got diagnosed with cervical instability and has so many symptoms. Did you use to have exercise intolerance? I have been dealing with POTS for years and now CCI and anytime I try to workout especially lift weights the next day I can’t even move and I am so tired, weak and don’t even want to move. Did you use to have that problem?
I didn’t have complete exercise intolerance, certain modes of movement (stationary biking) in moderation actually helped my POTS and cervical instability symptoms
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. When you're talking about rounds of prolotherapy, how many times did you get injections per 'round'?
Did you ever try PRP or stem cell injections? I have done a few rounds of PRP but it has not seemed to help significantly so now I want to look into prolotherapy especially after hearing stories like yours.
Also, were the prolotherapy injections directly into the upper cervical part of your spine at C1 and C2, or only in and around the lower vertebrae?
Hey Megan! Thanks for sharing. How did you diagnose this exactly? You think Regenexx is as good as caring medical center? Im planning to go there but i have no diagnosis yet and its hard to get it in where i live.
Apologies in case I missed it, but how long did it take to realize that it is actually CCI and needs to be treated? I'm just wondering how many months/years have you spent with these symptoms, before getting the actual treatment?
I've had this for 2-3 years and should soon get treated, but scared of irreversible damage given the length of period I've had this for.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, you just mentioned all the things I am going through to a capital T. I am wondering what test did you do for the Lyme disease? Was it from a regular lab that your doctor drew up?
Hello Paul! No, unfortunately regular CDC Lyme tests were not sufficient. I have Lyme literate doctors who ordered Lyme testes through Vibrant Wellness, Galaxy, and Stony Brook
Your video gives me so much hope! I’m scheduled for an appointment in the next few months at caring medical and I’m excited after watching this video. Would really appreciate you telling us how’ve you been since making this video .
Also , are the injections as painful as described by some people ?
I’m so glad it was helpful, and to hear you’re going to Caring Medical! I’ve been doing really well, I keep getting better and better! They are painful but not unbearable, definitely worth it.
@@meganklee659 thank you so so much for replying! I pray for complete healing for you ! Stay blessed ❤️
Did you get the prolo? Did it help you? I'm supposed to be getting it soon
@@JacksonStar4757 yes. Not in caring medical though because of visa issues . I ended up getting 6 rounds of prolotherapy in India , from C2 and below . It has most definitely changed the quality of my life ! I’m now looking into getting C1C2 prp/ prolotherapy in the near future . I wish you all the best !
@@ayaaanh.5701 That's awesome thank you so much! 💜💜🙏🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your story 💜🙏 I went to caring medical and seems like I need the prolotherapy. Did you have vagus nerve degeneration? I had/have many of the same symptoms you did and found out my vagus nerve measurements were 1mm, supposed to be 2 to 3mm. Also wondering how bad are the injections like did you have to use the laughing gas to get through them and did you have a lot of pain afterwards or flare up in your symptoms?
That’s awesome you’re going to caring medical! I hope it helps you. I can’t recall if I had vagus nerve degeneration. I didn’t use laughing gas, I just took Tylenol. The injections are bearable, and worth it for the healing.
@@meganklee659 Thank you I really appreciate you sharing your story it gives us hope 🙏 I'm just a little apprehension because even they said you can have pain, stiffness and a possible flare up of your symptoms afterwards and I don't have hardly any pain now. My symptoms are neurological like some of yours... head heaviness, heart palpitations, breathing issues, tremors, convulsions, weakness, sensitivity, dizziness headaches on and off and some facial pain
Did You get treatments one after another or take that month break at halfway point ? And are You finished w treatments ? I am going through treatments now and not sure about leaving and then returning Thanks Patrick ☺️
Did you ever get burning pain and stiffness throughout your body and did it feel like it was hard to keep your head up?
I'm super happy for you! I have some of the symptoms you mentioned including brain fog and I'm scheduled to start treatment at Caring Medical at the end of September. Did you try prolotherapy at any clinics closer to home for you before you went to Caring Medical or were they the first time you had prolo?
Thank you! That’s exciting you’re starting treatment soon. No, I only ever went to Caring Medical. Their clinic seemed like my best option for upper cervical Prolotherapy. It didn’t seem worth the risk going to a less specialized clinic with an area as crucial as the neck and potentially dangerous if done incorrectly.
@@meganklee659 I agree with you. I’m just going to go to Caring Medical. Are you able to exercise and drive now?
@@richhunt7662 I’m able to stationary bike, I do low impact exercise because I’m still receiving Prolotherapy. I no longer have to wear the neck brace when exercising. I’m able to drive now as well!
@@meganklee659 have you had more treatments since this video and are you still getting better?
@@richhunt7662 yes! I had a treatment a couple of weeks ago and will have another in about two weeks. The next treatment will hopefully be my last. I am continuing to improve!
Did you get any manual adjustments on your atlas/axis with any chiro or physio during your prolo therapy? Also did you suffer from bloating at all? Thanks.
Hey thank you for making this video it's so helpful!
I'd love to know what type of PRP you've done exactly?
I'm looking to do that for my CCI/AAI but I don't know which one to search for, if it has a specific name or which kind of PRP specialist should i go to?
Also what service have your been using to diagnose Lyme? I've used arminlabs in Germany but I'm all negative here.
What treatment are you doing for Lyme?
Sorry for all the questions ^^
Hey! You’re welcome, I’m glad you found them helpful. I had Prolotherapy, dextrose solution in my neck. I went to Dr. Hauser at Caring Medical in the U.S. a lot of people will travel to see him for their CCI/AAI. It’s difficult to find qualified people for the upper cervical spine.
@@MrErick1160 I used three different labs in the United States, Galaxy Diagnostics, Vibrant Wellness, and Stony brooks labs. I’m being treating by Dr. Phillips, he’s a well known Lyme literate doctor. My treatment has involved alot of different medications. What doctors will do depends on the specific patient. I would recommend finding a qualified Lyme literate doctor if you have Lyme.
I wish I had known
Did you use the cervical weight system on your neck as well?
Hey there! I just PRP in February and feel so much better, but my breathing is only 40% improved (that’s amazing considering I could hardly breathe before). How many prolo treatments before your breathing was 100% again?
Probably about 6
Hey, I also suffer from cervical instability (c0-c2) and lyme disease. Your symptom changes are incredible and give me motivation. I'm from germany and over here, unfortunately, nobody knows much about cci/aai. Where exactly did you get Prolotherapy done and hows the doctor called who did it?
I’m glad to hear it inspired some motivation! I had Prolotherapy done at Caring Medical in Fort Myers, Florida. My Prolotherapist is Dr. Hauser. I hope you’re able to get help for your CCI.
Same from germany too
@@meganklee659 Thanks for your Quick reply. I just contacted caring medical today, since I couldn't find anyone knowing as much about cci then them in my area. Hoping for an appointment
@@ellentengo Hoping and praying all goes well for you
@@ellentengo hi how did it went ?
thank you for sharing your recovery story 💜 did you have neck pain at all? i have a lot of these symptoms but no pain itself so i haven’t explored the option of cervical instability
You’re welcome, I was glad to! I had some neck pain, but the neck pain paled in comparison to the other symptoms. You don’t have to have neck pain to have instability. It might be worth looking into. All the best.
@@meganklee659 thank you! i have a consultation with caring medical in early February & im very much looking forward to it! your story definitely helped me realize this might be it. 💛

@@scooterthekidd how r u doing now with prolotherapy ?
Hello, hope you're doing amazing and healthy, just wanted to know how did the cervical collar help? as I'm not able to the treatment right now, and I'm only able to buy right now the cervical collar, so just wanted to know how much did the collar relieve your symptoms, from burning sensation, as breathing problems and all the other typical symptoms that we have, thanks a lot
Prior to Prolotherapy I often felt better in my collar, yet was still quite debilitated. The collar helped, but never consistently or completely resolved symptoms.The cervical collar operated primarily as a supplement to receiving traction (the lifting up of the base of my skull) which was the intervention that most relieved my symptoms. It was important that I wore it after traction to prolong the symptom relief by keeping my neck as stable as possible. It was later important for me to constantly wear during Prolotherapy so that my neck could heal in the right position, and to avoid unnecessary jostling that could further damage my neck.
I would highly advise you only use a cervical collar under the supervision of a doctor. Improper use can have consequences. I was diligent about only wearing it up to four hours a day prior to Prolotherapy to not further weaken my neck.
@@meganklee659 thanks a lot for the detailed information, I'm super grateful, I just wanted to know how many times did you receive traction per day? and you mentioned you only did wear it for 4hours so how did you manage the other hours without it? and did you sleep with it or something?
@@daaaxo8583 You’re welcome, I mention the details of traction in my cervical traction CZcams video. It would be helpful to take a look as it answers your questions.
@@meganklee659megan did you have c0 c1 instability ?
Im in the UK and only posterior prp is available not dextrose, they only do dextrose above c3 did you have c0 treated with dextrose or prp?
I had C0 treated with dextrose and it worked for me.
Connor Edwards im from the Uk where can you get these injections from and do they do the c0 to c2 thank you
Did they inject injections through mouth for c1 c2 instability?
The breathing symptom is by far the worst. It really does feel like you are dying, I’ve learned to just watch tv or have my husband talk to me about random things to distract me from the feeling of suffocation. I want to go to prolo but I’ve heard of people getting worst from it. This scares me.
I agree about the breathing. It’s helped me, it may be worth it to try if you’re having breathing problems. Prayers for healing.
Hi, sorry if you mentioned already, but did it help with ringing in the ears? I've also got the throat pressure. It's awful.
No worries at all! I’m glad to answer questions. Yes, it helped with my ringing ears, I used to experience it daily, along with pain in my ears, and a fullness sensation. All of these symptoms went away or are almost entirely gone with Prolotherapy. I’m sorry to hear you’re going through these things as well, they really are awful.
Prior to Prolotherapy, protruding my jaw would help with the ringing ears. Receiving cervical traction and wearing a neck brace helped with the throat pressure. I made CZcams videos on both of these topics, you may find them helpful.
@@meganklee659 Thanks so much for replying. Did you ever have extreme restless legs along with pain and numbness? I'm also getting burning sensations over my body and I'm not sure if it's all caused by my neck?
@@za4136 I would get pain and numbness in my legs almost daily. Ive heard of people having burning sensations on their body from cervical instability.
Do you ever have to wear the collar any more ?
Yes, when I’m driving and when I’m sleeping. When I’m entirely done with Prolotherapy I’ll stop wearing it.
Would you mind sharing how much did you spend on those treatments?
I’m not sure exactly how much it was, if you call the front desk they can tell you
What happened to you that caused this? Thank you for sharing
I was in a car accident in 2019, and experienced whiplash. That’s when everything drastically took a turn for the worse for me. I have Lyme disease so that may have predisposed me to being more susceptible to ligament damage, but am not entirely sure.
Meghan did you get facial pain .. in the jaws, cheeks? And did the ear ache go away?
Yes, I had facial pain and numbness, mostly in my sinuses but sometimes my jaw and check. The ear pain, ear ringing, both went away.
@@meganklee659 I wonder if prolo would help myofascial pain as well
Being pain free seems more like a dream for now..
@@tabintanyang7213 I hope you’re able to find relief
R u take prolotherapy by anterior or posterior
Stem cells are good also, they do the same?
I’ve heard good things about stem cells, but did not personally get them
I had a question when you wore your neck brace did your sensitivity to light go away and headache go away?
When I received cervical traction (the base of my skull being lifted up) my light sensitivity and headaches would be alleviated. Wearing the neck brace after receiving cervical traction, helped minimize those symptoms, but did not take them away.
@@meganklee659 Thank you for the reply. I also had another question have you ever tried nerve ablation or nerve decompression surgery and if so did that help your symptoms in a way?
@@veronicareynolds372 You’re welcome! No, I did not try those surgeries, or any surgeries for my CCI. I went the regenerative medicine route initially because it was less invasive.
@@meganklee659 Hello I had another question were your headaches constant? And were they like pressure headaches at the back of your skull and going on top of your scalp. And prolotherapy took it away?
@@veronicareynolds372 my headaches were near constant. They were mostly pressure headaches at the base of my skull, my scalp, inside my head, and all over my face. The base of my skull consisted of more pain than pressure, but I did have additional aches/pains in my head as opposed to pressure. They all went away with Prolotherapy.
Hello, after how many sessions were you able to recover this far?
This was after 6 sessions over a 10 week period. I made the video 2 months after my 6th session.
@@meganklee659 I thought It was only a treatment a month, so you had 6 in 2 months?
Hi I am currently receiving prolotherapy for cervical instability and I’m on my 4th round of injections, I’m getting discouraged because it doesn’t seem to be helping. It almost feels like it’s getting worse😢 Any advice or encouragement on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks ❤️😊
I’m sorry to hear it isn’t helping you yet, where are you getting Prolotherapy?
Tennessee Regenerative sports medicine
@@meganklee659are you 100% with your neck ?
Hi Megan
Do you have EDS?
She’s said in other comments she doesn’t hVe EDS
Do you think this would help me with a whiplash injury?
Yes, I had CCI from whiplash
@@meganklee659 what advice would you give me? I have trouble walking maintaining balance, lots of dysautonomia, trying physical therapy and maybe PRP i will go to dr. Hauser as a last resort
@@matthaines8136 I would recommend getting imaging done to see if you have CCI if you suspect that you might
@@meganklee659 oh I know for a fact I do I have swallowing trouble, pressure headaches, neck pain, dizziness, nausea, you name it and my neck has zero curve its totally straight and locked forward, im just not sure what to do as far as treatment
@@matthaines8136 my recommendation would be to at least have a consult with a prolotherapist who specializes in CCI
Hi my head is extremely heavy. Did you have this symptom and did I go away
Yes, my head would be heavy and on occasion it was difficult to hold up. I also experienced feeling like I had a “bobble head”. This all went away with Prolotherapy. I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this.
@@meganklee659 did you have transverse or alar damage?
@@connoredwards7199 from my understanding and knowledge, yes. What I have been told by my doctor based off of my X-ray report is that I have significant abnormal translation of C1 on C2 with an overhang bilaterally which compromises the integrity of the occipito-dens and dens-atlas ligaments including the alar ligaments.
@@meganklee659 I have transverse damage can this even be helped? I'm scared 4 months my heads felt extremely heavy and causing havoc on the rest of my spine causing thorasic instability, my c1 is slipping backwards and forwards on my c2 can rpolo help this
@@connoredwards7199 I’m so sorry to hear this. I would recommend reaching out to a specialist to get their medical opinion on your specific case. I reccomend Caring Medical, that’s where I went.
Do you have hypermobility eds?
No, I don’t have a connective tissue disorder
Also were you afraid to travel due to ptsd or high anxiety issues like scared of dying?
Traveling was extremely stressful because I was in a lot of pain. The stimulation; movement, light, sound, etc., was excruciating and crippling to my compromised Nervous System. The jostling from being wheeled in my wheelchair, planes, cars, etc., was crippling and excruciating from my vertebrae being moved around. I knew I had to get through the travel to get help; so I suffered through it, if I wanted to heal that was the only option.
Can any one confirm that caring medical is not a scam
Yes! It is not a scam! Dr. Hauser is a board certified doctor and the prolotherapy treatment he offers has helped countless people
Who did ur prolo? Where?
Dr. Hauser at Caring Medical
@Megan Klee wow....I went thru initial process with him but didn't think he could do 0 c1 c2 successfully bc he does posterior injections....so this helped ur upper instability too???
I have upper and lower cervical instability...had to leave job of 22 years and so compromised can't be the mom to my 3 boys that I've always been.

I need 10k for treatment xD
I hope you’re able to get the funds you need.
