Post stem cell recommendations

I had stem cell IV and injections 1 week ago. Stem cells were harvested from adipose tissue. Looking for recommendations or any suggestions to maximise recovery and benefit from stem cells, and also what to avoid. I’ve been given limited and conflicting info so feeling unsure.

I’ve been told to avoid NSAIDs but am struggling to control pain. Abdomen is very bruised and very sore from harvest. Joints injected are very sore and looking swollen.

Is there any window in recovery timeline that nsaids are ok, or different types that might be less harmful? Or is this fresh since procedure the most risky for NSAIDs?

Also wondering about other random things that could help or hinder - red light therapy, hyperbaric, etc. vitamins? Peptides?

And is Tylenol ok? I’ve seen conflicting info also about THC - any insight would be appreciated. If it came to it, would THC in CBD oil be less harmful than alcohol and/or NSAIDs?

Also random, but would antidepressants affect stem cells - was prescribed to start a few weeks pre op but didn’t want to start new meds prior, now worried about risking stem cell so haven’t started but want to know if it’s an option or not worth it specifically in regards to stem cells. .

Thanks heaps for any suggestions!
