Solsaem Clinic (Dr. Minbo Shim) Experience

[humptydumpty69]

Let me try to answer this without pictures of anyone's ass. I'm an operating room nurse. I've participated in hundreds of iliac crest bone marrow aspirations. We do ours with a Jamshidi needle. It's a large hollow needle that's driven into the bone. Google it, there will be plenty of pictures. Once placed the stylet is removed and a syringe is used to aspirate the marrow. There are no large incisions. It's basically a puncture wound. John probably had a single nylon stitch to close each one. These are no significant scars. There is an infection risk as there is with all invasive procedures. There will be discomfort afterward.

He has 6 wounds, and I am curious about their specific placement as well. If you guys have an aversion to this, then so be it.

They are six tiny puncture wounds. They will be barely noticeable once healed. Unless you are an ass model no one will notice. These six small puncture wounds are nothing compared to dozens of injections into the eardrum. Anybody who is seriously considering this procedure will not be stopped by the appearance of these punctures.

 

[JohnAdams]

Because there are many of us here considering PRP, and I would like to know as thoroughly as possible what we would be getting in to; this includes the wounds and potentially permanent scarring.

Did you by chance inquire to Shim about the blood drawn platelets? You said that he took a lot of blood, did he combine platelets extracted from the blood with the platelets retrieved from the marrow? Is it simply that the marrow platelets are somehow more potent than the blood derived platelets and have more likeliness of efficacy?

I'm going to have some scars. They will go just fine with my backne (back acne) scars. Regarding specific details about his method, I cannot divulge them without his permission. If you're considering this, then you need to wait for me to get through my recovery and post my audiograms. I understand your interest and concern but I am also a man of my word and I promised him I wouldn't just spam his methods all over the internet.

Madman and hero thanks for giving your body to science, you'll be spoken of in history books after the great tinnitus research war is over.

I may have missed this but I'm confused as to why Shim needed to extract bone marrow for PRP. I know bone marrow is used for stem cells but isn't PRP derived from spinning your blood? Unless this is the part you can't divulge.

That is how it was explained to me if having neck or lower back injections of PRP.

Correct, PRP does not come from bone marrow. His treatment is based on certain growth factors. Before I went there I posted a bunch of research in the original thread about the clinic. Go check it out.

Well shit, there goes my 'ass modeling career' down the drain.

 

[ajc]

Can you post some pictures of this clinic @JohnAdams?

 

[JohnAdams]

They all have my face in them.

I may decide to post my face eventually.

I'd like to see your face
I will post mine when you post yours

Your shit was going to go down the drain anyway. A skilled plastic surgeon could do a scar revision on your ass as long as you promise not to fart.

Have you been noticing improvements with floaters or visual snow?? I'm interested to know if this treatment will help eliminate them also, by eliminating tinnitus first as I heard there's a correlation.

I'm pretty sure there's no correlation with floaters, as that's a phenomenon that usually occurs from eyesight issues.

yes there is, Susan Shore did a paper on it. sorry I cannot find it.

Would it be possible to address your floater concerns on the floater thread?

How can you be on the internet and not know how to use Photoshop? It's like a prerequisite before anyone is allowed to use the world wide web.

I kid, I kid. Here John, try this site out. It will help you blur your face out in photos.

This is a legitimate question for this thread.

I still have floaters. I only have very very light visual snow and I can only see it when I look at dark green things for some reason.

I'm pretty sure there's no correlation with floaters, as that's a phenomenon that usually occurs from eyesight issues.

I'm not so sure about that. I noticed bad eye floaters about 3 months into this nightmare and many others also seem to have noticed them after getting tinnitus.

The clinic is very nice and clean. All of his equipment is high quality. The clinic is not the box looking building inside of a mall that we've seen that says Cheong-Min. It is the entire second floor of a building in Solsaem. The name is actually Solsaem Clinic or Solsaem ENT something like that.

I'm asking since he got the treatment done, he can inform us.

Interesting... please keep us updated on how well your tinnitus, floaters & visual snow improve thank you.

My tinnitus in my right ear is now only noticeable with earplugs in. And even then it's hardly there. I used to hear it in both ears when laying my head on my pillow and now I can't really hear it in my right ear at all when it is against the pillow, only left. Overall, the tinnitus sound is now on the left side.

My left ear tinnitus has also changed in the last three days. It now sometimes turns into this non intrusive hiss that sounds like a cassette tape sound like when they are between songs and it's silent but there is a tiny hiss there just enough for you to know it is on. That is exactly what it sounds like and this is a new sound I've never heard before. I've also had a very small touch of fluctuating hyperacusis. I already mentioned my fleeting tinnitus has noticeably shorted in duration when it happens. Something is definitely happening and I'm not getting worse.

I listened to this Judas Priest concert that I found last December and I felt like I could hear components of the guitar tones that I could never hear before and overall music is starting to sound clearer than it has since I initially damaged my hearing.

then make quality may mays with it.

Image caption memes were always around, but in 2010-2012 normies basically thought it would be a great idea to centralize the concept of memes to just that. That's pretty much around the time when most of the Internet turned to social media botnet shit.

Take example of the content @IAmCalifornia and I make, they have abstract concepts and reoccurring characters and are personalized to our situation.

Yeah man I know, I need to up my game.

I used photoshop to make that one picture where you're Martin Luther. I've just been busy.

Awesome to hear so much progress, man. Definitely following this thread.

I'm still skeptical but this is great news. Keep on improving!
