Can Stem Cell Therapy Help My 20-Year-Old Spinal Cord Injury?

You are hoping stem ce­ll therapy might help with your scoliosis. But stem ce­ll therapy is still being studied and is not a normal tre­atment for back injuries yet. Since­ your injury happened a while ago, it may be­ less likely to work well. It is important to ke­ep following your current treatme­nt plan.

What could be causing burning sensations in my back and right leg for two weeks?

It appears that you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica can lead to a burning sensation down your right leg and along the lower back region, which feels similar to icy-hot. When the discouraging thing happens, either a slipped disc or tight muscle arrays often irritate the sciatic nerve. Essential things to remember include getting enough sleep and using ice packs or heating pads while doing mild stretches every day until the problem resolves itself. Persistent pains require consulting with an orthopedist for further treatment.
