Boynton Beach Retiree Finds Hope in Discseel Procedure

Frank Thompson*, a 68-year-old retiree in Boynton Beach, Florida, sat at his kitchen table, frowning at the newspaper. The article about the potential decrease in Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for 2025 had caught his eye, but it was the mention of inflation cooling that truly struck a nerve.

'Great,' Frank muttered, 'prices might stop rising so fast, but what about those of us already struggling?'

The news triggered a flood of anxiety for Frank. He'd been battling chronic back pain for years, and the rising cost of healthcare had been eating into his fixed income. The prospect of a lower COLA meant even less wiggle room in his budget for managing his condition.

Frustrated, Frank turned to the internet, searching for affordable alternatives to the expensive treatments he'd been considering. That's when he stumbled upon the Neios Discseel website. Intrigued by the promise of a non-surgical solution, he began to delve deeper into the information provided.

As he read, Frank found himself quoting aloud to his wife, Sarah*: 'Mary Johnson, an independent Social Security and Medicare policy analyst, estimates a 2.7% COLA for next year. That's not much to work with, honey.'

Sarah listened patiently as Frank continued to read about the Discseel Procedure. 'It says here that it's less expensive than spinal fusion,' he noted, a glimmer of hope in his voice.

Just then, their neighbor knocked on the door, excitedly sharing news about a local charity offering grants for innovative medical treatments. Frank and Sarah exchanged looks, feeling as if the universe was nudging them in a certain direction.

Encouraged, Frank revisited the Neios website, finding a quote that solidified his interest: 'The Discseel procedure is comprised of highly purified and exact parts of fibrinogen, prothrombin, the two essential blood proteins involved in the formation of a disc healing.'

That evening, Frank and Sarah had a long discussion about the potential risks and benefits. Sarah expressed concern about the procedure not being FDA approved, but Frank countered with the information he'd gathered.

'It's an FDA-approved biologic used off-label,' he explained. 'Like those epidural injections doctors do all the time.'

After weeks of research and deliberation, Frank and Sarah decided to take the plunge. They applied for the local grant and scheduled a consultation with a Neios specialist.

The day of the procedure arrived, and Frank found himself both nervous and excited. The doctor explained the process, echoing the FAQ Frank had memorized: 'Patients will be taller because the disc is going to grow. Patients will have less pain, so they may have to stop taking their pain medicine because they won't need it.'

As Frank lay on the table, he thought about the journey that had brought him herefrom a worried retiree reading about COLAs to someone taking a chance on an innovative treatment. He silently thanked that newspaper article for setting him on this path.

In the weeks that followed, Frank diligently followed the post-procedure instructions, gradually increasing his activity levels. To his delight, he found himself able to do more each day with less pain.
