Good question, sorry I've been in and out of the sub for a bit, challenging year so far.
She and I started the 2nd interview a few days ago but she had internet problems so we rescheduled.
In the meantime, somebody sent me an interesting article... Stogicza did PRP PICL on an olympic athlete who missed the PAris olympics because of CCI, here's the article tho the translation is rough, hungarian and english are super different:
https://www.blikk.hu/sport/benkucs-kira-roxana-betegseg-gyujtes/lkqqk8h
Somebody on the sub saw that and reached out to the olympian directly (we should refrain from that I think, high chance she gets overwhelmed) and she said:
"I'm able to move around again, I'm back to training, and I'm already preparing for my next competition. I can live my everyday life again, which I'm grateful for thanks to the interventions I had"
Which honestly almost brings a tear to my eye just re-reading it. Glad we have innovators like Stogicza and Centeno out there!
Rooting for her, I hope she keeps improving. We need more success stories.

I am a patient of stogicza, I took a break from social media for a while. I did not have much improvement after the second picl the chiropractor said I was ready for neckslevel exercises so I got one (bloody expensive) and it made me worse. I now think because my scm muscles have been too short for over a decade in a very bad forward head posture. my neck gets too much resistance from those muscles so the ligaments are not healing as tightly as they should with my being unable to correct my curve properly by relaxing and lengthening those muscles first ! but that's just my new theory. I am going back for a 3rd round and am going to ask her about that. meanwhile I am doing stretches and massaging the scm muscles and its still going well not causing disastrous set backs yet 😬 the only thing I am angry about in all this is that I had to figure it out myself, again ! and that knowing my symptoms neither Innis or Stogicza told me those are known symptoms of those muscles being too short and tight, they knew the symptoms gave me a lot of anxiety they could have told me this, and given me appropriate exercises but nooo I had to find out from a youtube fisio therapist that randomly showed up on my feed ! I think they underestimate the force those muscles can exert in that imbalance perhaps ? or overestimate the ligaments strength in healing and pulling everything back in position ? I am going to ask both when I see them again in a month I dont see any other reason why I am not healing as well as others, other than the comorbidity of forward head posture, when my body is as capable of healing and healing well at that. in the 4 years bedboud I have had corona and the flu and had a bladder infection even a big operation to remove a massive terratoma and I healed really well and fast from all of those things so why not this ! If they do underestimate my teckneck than why !!? sorry about the rant 😅😬 I will get back to you guys when I have some answers
