Can you have stem cells after a RTK?

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.

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.
