My wife is diabetic and overweight and has severe knee problems. Deterioration. Surgery is a higher risk for her. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or tried stem cells?

Hi Rob @robseverson, I've thought about stem cell treatment for my right knee but insurance doesn't cover it so it's all out of pocket cost. There is currently another discussion on Connect about stem cell treatment for the knee that you might want to read through and talk with others who are thinking about getting it done.
