The doctor that injected the hyaluronidase into my brother injected it into his spine in conjunction with a steriod injection. During my research I discovered that hyaluronidase is used during eye surgery and cosmetic as well. But this doctor decided to use the compounded material to get through scar tissue in order to make the steroid more effective. Either the material was contaminated or it was a bad procedure by the doctor. Did you know that at one time hyaluronidase was manufactured from sheep testicular tissue? Have you heard the news as of late about the folks dying and getting sick from the fungal infected steriods being injected into peoples spines? Well, this gives me even more reason to get my brother's story out there. In 5 days it will be 6 years since my brother's death. I was his health care advocate and caretaker for almost a year....for some reason I feel like my role in being an advocate for this cause is not over..... What is your story?
Thank you so much. The doctors (about 5 of them) would not entertain the idea that the hyaluronidase could have caused his illness. They were so afraid of getting involved in a lawsuit that all they would do to help was to treat the many illnesses and symptoms. There were so many reason why my brother should not have been injected with hyaluronidase by the pain doctor. And what about the recent scare across the country about the steroid causing meningitis? My brother also developed meningitis in the beginning. The whole ordeal was and is still a nightmare. October 29th will be 6 years since his death. I could write a book about what all happened. Thanks again for you kind remark.
My brother was injected in his back with hyaluronidase after failed back surgery. He had a reaction and developed blister at injection site, arachnoidities, a stroke, permanent paralysis (t2 down to his feet) and then death.
