yes, it helped me. I had friends who did not listen to the dr and were out playing tennis the day they had the stem cells injected in the knee. Did not work for them. Nice thing is the recovery. No pain pills and lay around for 10 days. I had mri done and took that t the dr. He said i was a candidate. I did not want the experience i had with the tkr. 5 years later i still have pain and now dr thinks it may be fractured and wants to do it again.

@cobweb, @dkapustin -- I'd like to chime in on Regenexx: I have used a local Regenexx clinic for lower back and knee pain. I didn't have stem cells for either. I had PRP in the knee and Platelet Lysate in the back. I did have great results! However, if the doctor recommends it, I am planning on doing the stem cell treatment on the (same) knee, because I have now torn the meniscus and if I can prevent another meniscus surgery, I will sure try to do so! Anyway, I am going for a consult on Thu, 4 Apr to address the knee and other "parts". If anyone is interested to hear about the consultation I am having on Thu, let me know and I will write something about it in this group.
Stay well!
