@chigirl: OK. At least you knew about stem cells, and had this discussion with your surgeon. I feel like an imbecile of not having done more research prior to my TKR. Having had some shoulder (repair) surgeries in past years with phenomenal results, I was expecting the same from the knee replacement surgery. Never knew - or was led to by my surgeon - to possible alternative treatments before TKR. May not have made a difference, but I kick myself for not doing more research and more exploring of alternative options.
My bad.

found out about stem cells after my first TKR which has been bad. 5 years next moth and still swollen and painful. Surgeons think its lose and want to do it again. I did hear about stem cells and PRP and found prp to work the best. I have the injection once a year. Takes care of the arthritis and pain in the knee. Dont trust the operation. Have friends with success and failures. Not surea t this time what to do with the tkr. the thought of redoing it is not a good one.
