I'm 77 with both hips bone on bone. Had stem cell procedure at Mayo in March. I'm better than I was & am hopeful of continued improvement. Biggest risk? financial, as insurance doesn't cover. No pain in other hip yet, but will probably have same done sometime soon as preventative maintenance.

I wear a knee brace to push my knee to have space to get stem cells. (bone<br>on bone) Also, as Dr. was walking out of room talked about getting fat into<br>osteo arthritis to ease pain. Wish I had more info about both these<br>procedures.<br><br>Mari*a*n<br>
I've not been x-rayed since the procedure so can only speculate. Will be emailing Dr. in October (6 months post-procedure) to inquire as to the expected time length of regeneration. I'm sure there are countless variables. I've been very pleased with the prompt replies from inquiries sent to Dr. Sellon. Interestingly (for me), I just returned from a 1.5 hour walk (about 4.5 miles). Was limping and feeling discomfort at start, but little discomfort and steady gait after the first 1/4 mile (or so).

I was interested in your stem cell procedure as I have bone on bone in my remaining knee. Did it help with your bone on bone situation? I would like to know more about it. 19lin<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Sent from Windows Mail
