Man's Unusual Treatment for Chronic Back Pain- Monthly Injections of His Own Semen

So, this fellow hurts his back carrying something heavy. He doesn't consult a doctor. He decides to inject himself with his own semen to treat his chronic back pain. It doesn't work.

Questions:

Where did he get this idea? Scientists have injected rats and mice (ugh) with semen, but there are no reported cases of this being done with human subjects.

Why inject it into an artery? Couldn't he have concocted an easier method of absorption? Sub-lingual? Trans-dermal? Intra-Anal?

This reminds me of another "odd" treatment that is "legitimate":

A man's unusual treatment for his chronic back pain: Injecting himself with his own semen every month
INFORUM SOURCE

A 33-year-old man who had been suffering from back pain decided to treat himself by resorting to an unusual remedy not supported by scientific research: he injected himself with a dose of his own semen every month for a year and a half. The "alternative therapy" baffled doctors at Tallaght University Hospital in Dublin, where the man showed up recently with severe back pain and a swollen arm, according to a case report published this month in the Irish Medical Journal. "This is the first reported case of semen injection for use as a medical treatment," the doctors wrote in the report they titled, "'Semenly' Harmless Back Pain: An Unusual Presentation of a Subcutaneous Abscess." The unnamed man used his semen "as an innovative method" to treat his chronic back pain, a decision he made without any medical advice, the report says. He bought a hypodermic needle online and injected himself with a monthly dose of his semen for 18 months. The method does not appear to have worked.

This is why doctors spend so many years studying in a university before they treat people.
If it involves a syringe and my body, it is done by a qualified healthcare professional.

Your thread strangely reminds me of the following Monty Python skit:

I would imagine that he has a double digit IQ and one of his "friends" suggested it.

It would be comical if it wasn't so immoral.

Jimmy Lee said ' Weell I don't recon that Billy Bob '

ADDENDUM to OP:

I found some interesting uses of semen that were new to me (I only could think of about 2 dozen of my own remedies) on the Medical Daily Website:

In sperm, a crystalline polyamine compound called Spermine can be found. This particular compound is also known as an antioxidant. It is believed to diminish wrinkles, smooth skin and help with taming or preventing acne. Bioforskning, a Norwegian company, has synthesized the compounds into a facial cream. According to Bioforskning, the cream Spermine is 30 times more effective than vitamin E and can delay the aging process by 20 percent. However, nature's most natural facial cream can cost you a whopping $250.

Not only can sperm provide healthy skin, but also it can be used as an anti-depressant. In a recent study, researchers demonstrated that women who were directly exposed to semen were less likely to be depressed. The study stated mood-altering hormones that are present in semen can be absorbed through the vagina. Some of these mood-altering chemicals include, but are not limited to prolactin, a natural anti-depressant; oxytocin, which assist in enhancing one's mood and serotonin, a widely known antidepressant neurotransmitter.

When it comes to cooking, although semen may be the farthest thing from your mind, according to "Natural Harvest-A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes," semen is very nutritious. The cook book advertises semen as an "inexpensive" ingredient that can give any food an "interesting twist."

Lastly, if by any chance you are in dire need of invisible ink, semen may suffice. During World War I, the British Intelligence Service discovered semen can act as invisible ink. Unlike other chemicals used, semen did not react to means of detection such as iodine vapor.

Sperm is also tied to morning sickness:

Sperm is also directly linked to the frequency and intensity of a woman's morning sickness. According to SUNY-Albany psychologist Gordon Gallup, the frequency of morning sickness is directly related to the frequency of insemination during pregnancy. Gallup and graduate student Jeremy Atkinson revealed women who undergo artificial insemination may experience worst cases of vomiting, and nausea.
