If this had only come out sooner, I might not have had to have that painful knee replacement surgery last year. Ouch.

“Off-the-shelf ?”

It pays to read the article ...

The stem cell line in question appears to have been derived from a living, adult, voluntary donor, not from an abortion victim.

“Off-the-shelf” is just a clinical term......you can’t run out and buy it at Walgreens. Lol!

They work well as far as pain. I get the injections every two months, or so. I do not know if the cartilage is healed or not. I am sure losing 25 pounds has not hurt.

Not stem cells for me. I think mine is chicken or turkey. Not kidding.

It’ll be on the shelf next to the expanding crack sealer that you use to make a butt that can be used to stack cafeteria trays on.

I’m curious how you are doing now? My mother had a knee replacement in November and she isn’t doing well. It doesn’t feel any better than before she had the surgery. She has been very disciplined in her post-op therapy and has done everything her doctors have told her to no avail. She is at her wits end.

Don;t be a fat, carb feasting, non exercising slob and you can cut your risk of this kind of maladay. Look at the data, 80%+ of knee replacement are on morbidly obese.

It would be great if this was effective for finger joint OA.

People have been doing stem cell therapy on knees for a long time, a friend of mine had it done a few times over several years and said it helped him significantly for a while each time.

I guess the only difference with this study is the source of stem cells?
