I’m 61 and both hips have some degeneration and hurt, especially when working out. My left hip has a torn labrum. I’ve seen a few Orthopedic surgeons and the only answer i hear is THR. Insurance would gladly pay for that. What I don’t hear from Professionals is anything about Stem Cell therapy. I’ve looked into it and heard success stories, but insurance won’t pay for it so that is a no-go. It seems a lot less invasive and is being done, but the old school of THR won’t such it. Why is this? I would rather endure the pain than have THR.

Stick with that thought. You are better off to have the pain than start with surgeries and all the problems that come with a THR

I am in the exact same spot as you....I am looking into stem cell therapy and will keep you posted. I’m 65 and hoping they can help. I’ve been talking with Regenerex, however because at our age our stem cells are older the best possible results they said would be to go to their facility in the Grand Caymen so they can culture my cells for 3 weeks, providing me with a much higher chance of it working. It is currently illegal to culture stem cells in the United States even though they are my own stem cells. I am being put in touch with one of their facilities in Van Nuys to be evaluated for the procedure. I also would like to consult with the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix to get their evaluation.

I have gotten a lot of relief from the pain by taking Tumeric capsules twice a day and using a product by Modere called LIFE. Have no need for any kind of pain killers for the last two months since I started using these products. I also just started adding BAXYL, recommended by a friend

@kdukes52, you mentioned you wanted to consult with Mayo Clinic regarding stem cells? Have you had a chance to do so, or would you like more information?
