I could use a squirt or two of that in a several of my joints.
I’m curious as to where those stem cells come from.
Maybe it will help fuse all the rocks in my knee back together.

Similar (the same?) treatment has been available for awhile, Sodium hyaluronate, the salt form of hyaluronic acid. Also used cosmeticly, like botox.
Surprisingly, I looked into regerneron for joint treat ment. Even using your own stem cells, one has to take an immunosuppressant indefinitely.
I imagine this is also the case.
I have gotten this treatment in each knee at the VA. It was ok but I found the cortoid/steroid shots better.
Last month the when I got another steroid shot they offered me the Hyaluronic Acid program of a shot a week for 5 straight weeks. I told them if my knees didn’t feel better after this shot i would give it a try. So far so good.
It this research comes to successful end billions of dollars will be made and victims of degenerative hip and knee disease will be spared major surgery. I hope this is successful.
About 8 years ago my wife went to a specialist because when she bent a knee it sounded like crushing corn flakes. They injected something under her knee cap and charged us a lot of money. The end result was that when she bent her knee it sounded like crushing corn flakes.
My dog had her left elbow injected with hyaluronic acid a couple of years ago. It completed eliminated her limp, which was due to elbow dysplasia. She is still walking normally.
I have basically no cartilage in my right knee but have been putting off having a knee replacement since so far I am relatively pain free. However, I have had several cortisone injections and Hyaluronic Acid treatment. The steroid injections had mixed results, a couple really helped but others basically did nothing. The Hyaluronic Acid did nothing for me. I would be willing to try this new treatment.
My GSD is gonna love this news
bkmk
Won’t it be great when minimal treatments like this are commonplace instead of surgical solutions? I have a replaced knee. It’s doing OK. I also have a knee that was injected with stem cells and it is pain free. The much more costly treatment was covered by insurance. The injection was not. Backwards in my way of thinking.
