Hello, my name is James. I'm 40 years old. The reason why I started coming to Dr. Truong is because I was dealing with tremendous pain in my back and my hips. Originally, I was going to get my hip replaced in November of 2020, but after talking with Dr. Truong, she recommended me the PRP and stem cells procedure. I have six kids, and so for me, I needed to be healthy, I needed to be strong to support my wife and my kids. And so. But I also needed to get to a place where I was not in pain anymore and I couldn't exercise. I had blown up to about 273 pounds, which is the heaviest I've ever been. And so I really needed to get to a place where I could feel whole. And so after getting the PRP and the injections, you know, truth be told, I'm finally at a place where I'm pain free. And what I was really looking forward to is getting to a place where I had a window of where I wasn't in pain anymore so I could start exercising. And so now it's about six months since the PRP and the stem cell injection. I've dropped 25 pounds and I'm still going further and I'm actually able to help my kids and help my wife and be able to play with my kids again, thanks to Dr. Truong and the PRP and the STEM cells. What area you had the injection at? So I had the stem cell. So I had the stem cell injections in my left hip. I have severe arthritis, so much so that I was about to get it replaced. And I also got the stem cell and the PRP in my lower back. And I've always dealt with lower back pain pretty much throughout my 20s and 30s.
