It has more to do with the quality of the stem cells than the different bodies of people. When I was having cervical surgery a couple years ago at Ucsd I was asking my doctors why I was having surgery and they weren’t using stem cells like some of the people I knew were paying for Instead of surgery. They told me that most of the things that are marketed direct to consumers are not the kind of things that will be helpful and those doctors and clinics are just taking people‘s money and they won’t have success in the long haul. The kind of success in the long haul comes from research hospitals where they’re using a certain kind of stem cell And quality. So I’d keep your money in your pocket and go to a good orthopedic surgeon and see also what they say. A good orthopedic surgeon does not want to cut you if there’s some other alternative I can promise you that.

I had stem cells from my hip injected into my SI joint. After about 5 weeks I started have an increase in pain in that joint that just worsened over the weeks that followed. Finally I was hospitalized to get my severe pain under control. That was at the end of December of last year. I was on pain medication, got a steroid injection and decadron to calm thevinflammation down. I would never do it again. But that’s just me.
