I had stem cell therapy on my knee in 2016 (I think) and the cost was $5000. It is the best investment I’ve ever made. The procedure was done at Mayo in Jacksonville and the recovery was brief and easy and I am able to do so many things again.

Last year I had a combination of stem cell and PRP done on my feet and did not have near as good of an experience. I can’t tell you why either.

Good luck, chronic pain is awful.

I've had both knees replaced. I just don't know enough about stem cell therapy or PRP. Then again, my problem was osteoarthritis, and the only way to fix that was TKR.

As for your foot, please remember that the knee is a relatively simple joint, with relatively few tendons and ligaments, bones and muscle. The foot and ankle, on the other hand, are incredibly complex structures with a lot of bones and a lot of connecting tissue. That's why ankle replacements are rare.

Anyway that may be the reason you had a less than satisfactory result with your feet. I hope your knee is still doing well!
