Hi, @gunnychahal. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry to hear that despite your knee surgery, the pain hasn't gone. Indeed, frustrating. Good for you for wanting to push on from feeling like a "couch potato," as you called it, and regain some function and freedom from pain.

My fellow Connect moderator, Justin, has provided some helpful information on stem cell therapies available at Mayo Clinic, https://mayocl.in/2uer1om.

Hoping that @bernese53 @oldkarl @jeannegordon4 and @mari might join in to tell you about what they have learned related to stem cell therapy. Hoping that you might share more, specifically, mari, on your suggestion to get platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections first before proceeding to stem cell treatment. I believe you were indicating that you might have gotten the relief you needed at a lesser cost by starting with PRP?

@gunnychahal, have you been doing other rehab following your surgery?
