WHEN a serious hip injury looked like slowing down Toowoomba's Geoff Castle, he knew he was facing a life-changing decision. <\/p>\n
While cycling around Rottnest Island three years ago, he felt a severe strike of pain in the right side of his groin. <\/p>\n
What he initially thought was a soft tissue injury turned out to be far worse. <\/p>\n
\"It was intense and sudden and I was sure it was just a soft tissue injury,\" he said. <\/p>\n
\"I thought I would stretch it out, take some anti-inflammatory drugs and sort it out myself.\" <\/p>\n
However, after multiple consultations, x-rays, physiotherapy and medical treatments, Mr Castle had all but given into the fact that he would need a hip replacement any time in the next 10 years. <\/p>\n
But he knew there had to be an alternative, something which would allow him to continue his active life. <\/p>\n
Mr Castle began researching alternatives and while doing so, began reading peer-reviewed articles about autologous stem cell treatment. <\/p>\n
Geoff Castle is to have stem cell treatment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
