I have had a Course of 3 Injections of CELLUAR MATRIX intravenous injection..consisting of Steroid + Hyalaurnic + PRP Blood Platet combination..and knee pain is 70% better. Anyone had a better treatment, besides Stem Cells? Please

Hello

I’m 45 years old, I got osteoarthritis in my left knee mild tricompartment something, the only problem I got a screw in knee - from a ACL injury 25 years ago.

The drs say I will get and infection from the screw etc

The only way is removing the screw which means operation, is there anyway around it?

As housework, cooking is all a challenge now

Can anyone please help me

dudley1980, I don't see any way around the surgery. But the surgery to remove the screw (just one screw?) won't be a difficult the original surgery and will probably be minimally invasive. You may need help for a couple of months after surgery. I'd bet you'll be amazed with your results.
