Joe Rogan on Stem Cells Fixing His Shoulder Injury

Yeah, I've had a bunch of stem cells shot into my shoulder that healed it up. But I had some pretty significant shoulder injuries. Yeah, you did the labrum surgery, rotator cuff? No surgery, I put on a full length rotator cuff tear. Oh, okay. And they used exosomes and it was gone. The next MRI I had, the tear was gone. Yeah. It just seals up. They did exosomes with platelet-rich plasma and they mix it together and shoot it into the injury. And I went through the rehab and then I got another MRI like six months later, eight months later, whatever it was. When it started feeling good, they said, well, let's take a look at it. And they were like, holy shit. Like Dr. Roddy McGee from Vegas who does a lot of the UFC stuff, he goes, do you know how crazy that is? He's like, your tear is gone. It doesn't exist anymore. That's, I got to see that. Yeah. I'm like, fucking next level shit. Why don't they offer that to us when we have fucked up injuries? I'm like, my neck, my back. Wouldn't that help? Well, I mean, if they really think that you need it and they, I don't know if they know that you have this injury. Like maybe you have to ask for it. But I feel like if you were one of your top guys, you would want us to be back healthy. Fuck yeah. And as best as we can possibly be. Right. It's not prohibitively expensive for the UFC either. Talk to Dr. Davidson or Dr. I mean, I'll connect you with Dr. McGee. I know they were, when I was with McGee, yeah, he's got the good shit. Dr. Roddy McGee in Vegas is always at the cutting edge. He's that guy is like, every time I talk to him, there's some new thing that's going on. There's new stuff now called Wharton's jelly that is even more powerful than any of the previous stem cell ones. And I had that shit shot into my shoulder too. And that's all in the States? All in the States. Yeah. The stuff in the States now is way more potent than it was just five years ago. Okay. Way more. You had a guest on and they were talking about going to Dr. Neal Reardon. Yeah. Panama. Panama. Dang. They're on another level down in Panama. I sent my mom down there. Yeah. My mom has a pretty bad knee and it sent it down. And it helped it, but she's going to go down again. It's a heavy shit, man. They can, they do IV stem cells too. They do a gang of shit down there. Yeah. So let me ask you, so what exactly does it help? What does it help with like regenerates off tissue? So like, would that be like a tendon ligament? Tendon ligaments, muscle injuries, things along those lines, they can regenerate ligaments, regenerate tissue tears, you know, like a stuff where you ordinarily would have to get things sewn up. Like here's a perfect example. My friend, John, his wife had a labrum tear, so she had a tear in the labrum of her hip. Yeah. And the doctor was saying, like, most likely we're going to have to fix this. It's going to be a big deal. It's going to be like months off your feet. Like you have to, you can't put any weight on it for, I think like six to eight weeks or something like that. Well, she got exosome shot in there. And then when they went in for the second MRI, there's nothing, no injury to go. That's freaky. Freaky. So she had a little bit of a deformity in the bone of her hip that was causing an irritation against the labrum. They sanded down that part of the hip that was kind of bothering her. They like cut away the part of the bone that's intruding on the labrum. So that it clears the path. So it was not that invasive a surgery. And then six weeks later, she's good to go. I mean, she's rehabbing and everything. And she's still, like, they still had to cut her open a little bit. Yeah. But the big one was the labrum tear and all that was fixed.
