Thank you for such valuable information! I had a TKR and it was terrible!!! This was three years ago and my knee is still painful, off and on. My other knee now needs it but I cannot put myself through that torture again! Keep going for cortisone shots every three months and now taking Tumerin, which seems to have helped. I would be very interested in stem cells for both knees and for my back!

i had the PRP for my back and found it to work very well. Plus i did both for the knee. I am going in again in May for PRP. Take your cane. Hard to walk out after the injection.

mab - what went wrong with your TKR? I had both of mine done in 2022 and my knees are absolutely great. I attend spin class 5 times a week and the recovery took time and hard work, but it was worth it. I'm not trying to kid anyone - TKR is a traumatic procedure and recovery takes a lot of time and personal effort.

If the bad result was the fault of the surgeon or hospital It may be time to find another place. All the best.
