I am sorry to hear this, know exactly how you feel.
I have 4 replacements now, at 69, 2 shoulders, one knee and one hip.
It is over 10 years now, when they replaced my shoulders, for me the best decision I could make, they are still fine.
When I got my knee done, the doctor talked me in to do the stem cell while surgery…. It didn’t help at all.
Well, that’s my experience.
I always waited with all my joints until the pain was tremendously worth, I was in such a pain, that there was no other option for me.
I didn’t want to live with pain killer 24/7 and I can handle pain very well.
That’s me, what I want to say is, you have to make your own decision, depending on your pain, life impairment etc..
If you decide to have surgery earlier in life, count on having it replaced maybe a second time but maybe it’s worth it..
I hope this helps…
All the best ♥️

Thank you so much for sharing this with me. The stem cell game is huge where I live and practices get their google reviews scrubbed. I promise. I read the negative and go back in a month or 2 & the truthful feedback is gone. I have younger friends who say its amazing but they havent been where I have and am yet so I think being younger they did well placebo well.. but I'm getting close just the way you describe but were uninsured still since my spouse lost his leg at wk & closed his case stupidly not leaving medical open so in SC there is no pain & suffering or lost wages but he took a pitulence for what should have covered his situation (forlift crushed his leg right off against a steel beam concreted in the wearhouse floor) deadman pedal malfunctioned & well, that money's for him but hes begged me to try stencils and it is everywhere but no efficacy to read..so maybe ill scratch a special ticket one day:) I believe in stem cell txt & know how it works but for a lot of folks you must do it so many times and it adds up. Im very thankful to hear from you. Thank you!
