Patient Story
Debbie: PRP for Hip Pain + Energy Back from Adrenal Fatigue
Summary
Debbie followed Dr. Rose from her previous practice to Med Matrix, originally seeking treatment for adrenal fatigue after hemorrhaging an adrenal gland. When a fall caused hip and ligament damage, she chose PRP over cortisone shots. Within about 6 to 7 weeks she went from immobile to 95% pain-free, mirroring her successful PRP experience on her knee 3 years earlier.

MedMatrix, I actually met with Sasha when she was in the Yarmouth or Falmouth area think about a year and a half ago. So I actually was seeing her there cuz I'm not going to the other doctors and then she's here. So I followed her. Oh, okay. So Dr. Rose, you you were with Dr. Rose at her last practice. Wow, that's incredible. Okay. So what did you originally go to Dr. Rose for then? Like what did what did you originally Adrenal fatigue. Okay. And how is I guess from then to now, how is that progress? It actually has gone very well. I'm feeling much better. Yeah, amazing. Do you want [clears throat] to elaborate? Um well, she helped me with adrenal that I [clears throat] can't do medicine. So she gave me some supplements to take and I'm feeling a difference. So that's nice. So in your everyday life, how would you say what are those differences? Energy. Getting my oomph back. Yeah, like what are Can you give me examples of just Um well, I actually hemorrhaged one of my adrenal glands. So I was very exhausted, very tired and I didn't have my oomph to do anything. So I knew that it was going to be a long road and I didn't want to have regular medicine. So that's when I was like looking for a natural doctor and that's when I stumbled upon upon Dr. Rose. So that's why I decided to go with her and she's been helping me along and just checking in on me and we've I think I've I've done very well with it. How long have you been seeing her? About a year and a half. Wow, that's awesome. So what would you say your experience at MedMatrix has been like? Here, it's been great. Everything Everyone's been very nice. I did do a fall not on purpose. I had a fall back in August and I kind of when I landed, all my hips and my all the ligaments and tendons in my hips kind of separated and it got stretched and I was in a lot of pain. So I was going to to an ortho and he was checking me out and we did the x-rays, we did the CT, we did the MRI and he wanted to do cortisone shots, and I said no. So, when I was in here, that's when Sasha was like, "Why don't you talk to Brandy?" And I said, "Okay." So, they suggested doing PRP in that area. But, I've had PRP done in my knee 3 years ago, and it's amazing. So, I was like, "All right, couldn't hurt." So, I didn't want to do the cortisone. So, Brandy went ahead and she did the PRP, and I want to say it's been 6, almost 7 weeks now. And along with my knee, it took about a month for me to feel the difference. I could actually walk without thinking. And I want to say about about like week five with my my lower back, I noticed I was like, "Hey, [laughter] it's kind of getting nicer and easier." And I'd probably say right at this point, I'm about 95% pain free. Wow, that's incredible. It is incredible. It's amazing. I'm noticing that I actually have my energy back cuz I've been sitting on my butt for like 5 and 1/2 months. I haven't been able to do anything, which probably did help my adrenals in the sense cuz I wasn't overdoing it. But, I'm finding that I'm like, I'm doing more. I'm just I'm becoming more myself, which is nice. So, yes, I rave about this place. I tell a lot of people about this place because I'm like, "You got to go see them." So, what would you what would you tell somebody who's looking into MedMatrix or functional medicine? I would [snorts] tell them to definitely go. Or if someone's having a problem with their doctor, I have told a few people already. You need to go see MedMatrix. Or if I see someone like on Facebook, like a friend that says, "Ooh, I like MedMatrix." I'm like, "Have you seen them? Or do you just like it?" Because you need to go see them cuz I've had nothing but great experiences here. Oh, that's incredible. It's incredible to hear about your journey with Dr. Rose as well, you know, like Well, when I found her, I really liked her, and she was normal. And so, when I found out that she was leaving, I'm like, "Where'd she go?" I'm like, "Oh my god, this is a bummer. I don't want to find another one." And then I saw that she was a face of MedMatrix. I'm like, "Oh my god, I'm going." [laughter] So, here I am. That's incredible. All right. Well, is there anything else that you think you would like to add to or tell somebody that is maybe wary of functional medicine or just about MedMatrix in general? Well, it's just if you're not feeling right, go see them because regular doctors aren't going to guide you through it. I know. And especially if you're having any pain in your joints, go see Brandy. I mean, the PRP was amazing. That's incredible. That is incredible.
