Can a nerve regenerate without surgery?
This case suggests yes.

In this episode of Pod of Inquiry, Dr. Stephen Barrett sits down with Dr. Erin Nelson to review a rare EMG-documented case of nerve regeneration after ultrasound-guided Hydrodissection with D5W — no scalpel required.

A 56-year-old woman developed sudden foot drop due to deep peroneal nerve entrapment. After two D5W Hydrodissection sessions, a 4-month repeat EMG showed significant interval improvement in demyelination + axonal injury. Objective. Measurable. Independent neurologist confirmed.

🎯 What you'll learn in this episode:
• Why 5% dextrose (D5W) outperforms saline in Hydrodissection
• The exact protocol Dr. Nelson uses (volume, frequency, technique)
• When to choose Hydrodissection vs. surgical decompression
• Implications for patients with diabetic neuropathy
• The difference between glucose puncture vs Hydrodissection

This may become one of the most important clinical conversations in the nerve pain / peripheral neuropathy space.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
