Michael's spine operation.

Hello friends and family.
 
A little over 2 years ago I herniated 3 disks in my spine, Lumbar and Sacrum. It was an experience that has left me with challenging life and the inability to do most things, living with constant pain and trauma. Last summer 2020 I re-herniated a 2nd time and was hospitalized and just recently, a third time. I've spent thousands of dollars getting treatment through spinal decompression therapy, physical therapy, I've changed my diet and do yoga. Those things have shown to make very small improvements but unfortunately it's not enough.
 
I have developed a condition called degenerative disk disease, where the disk between my vertebrae are very thin and are not healing, even after the expensive decompression therapy which is supposed to allow the disks to heal. This condition causes extreme pain from pinched nerves, inflammation and if left untreated it could develop into bone spurs and even stenosis. This absolutely can NOT happen.
 
The treatment I am getting.
 
I have been doing lots of research and talked to several doctors about various treatment options. I have found a treatment that could be the key to restoring my disks that I have been looking for and get me back to living a normal life.
 
The operation is Stem Cell injections directly into the ruptured and degenerated disks. I was fortunate enough to meet someone who received this exact treatment. Her story and mine were almost identical with the time in which she had suffered from disk degeneration and also tried the exact things that I have.. Needless to say, her life is back to normal, her disks have fully healed and lives with no more pain. I literally cried when she told me her story because up to that point I was starting to lose hope.
 
I need your help
 
This condition has kept me from being able to work virtually any kind of job. I'm unable to sit or stand for more than a few hours. It's very easy to pinch nerves and small movements have proven to potentially re-herniate my disk with almost no effort at all. Due to this, I've not been able to work normal hours, I've struggled paying my bills, and I see no end to this until I get this under control. Sadly, I've put my self into debt trying to find solutions through healing modalities, side businesses to help free up time and literally anything I can think get me out of this situation. Nothing has worked because there was no direct treatment... until now. Since I've not been able to work normal hours, I have almost no money left.
 
I'm requesting around $8000 of help from you, every dime will pay for the operation and therapy. Sadly, this operation is not covered by health insurance, which is why I'm needing your help.
 
$4000 - Anesthesia + First injection of stem cells
$2000 - Two additional stem cell injections
$1000 - MRI, Consultation + follow up
$1000 - 10-series structural integration therapy
 
I can not tell you how much your support means to me.. it literally means the world, my life is in your debt.
 
Thank you for taking the time to read through this, I'm so grateful.
 
Blessings to you all
