Replies to "Can you have stem cells after a RTK?"
can't think of why not? 1st do no harm; felt rejuvenated after PRP AND STEM CELLS. Better balance - improved energy, could reach farther, more sure of my body, did not feel so cacoonish - came out of pain cocoon and body was like its former active self. If u want to try these - shop around, vet drs. choose carefully - like a teaching hospital.
To Gardeningranny Why not? And remember what Dr. at USC said, it's like a gallon of ice cream, put a scoop in this joint - a scoop in another joint, etc. I had five injections of PRP and stem cells put into 5 joints, wished I had asked for more. PRP is @ $500. maybe you can try that first - see how it works then go for Stem Cells. But, I would like someone to respond - did my having stem cells in the spring help with my TKR on July 30,18? Everyone : Drs. Pt, nurses and peers are all impressed with my progress, can bend knee at 130 degrees, Pt says that all that is necessary.
