Not sure if you will like my comments. I had a bad experience with my TKR so i did alternative therapy. From stem cells to PRP. I am bone on bone but have had great success with PRP. I do it yearly. I play golf, bike, garden etc. I am also 80. I did lose 15 pounds. I notice every year with PRP i am doing better. Arthritis seems to be ok and i do wear a special brace designed for active people. MY surgeon said i am 80 going on 70. I use Regenexx but i would say be careful who you see. A bunch of pirates out there. In other words do your homework.

Thank you for you response. Curious why you had a bad TKR? Also are you doing the stem cell therapy in your other knee, or knee with TKR? My right knee is bone on bone. I ended up getting the hyaluronic acid injection last week. And to my surprise it started working that next day. I have no pain! I was told that the stem cell and PRP would not work for me, because I’m bone on bone. But you have definitely made me curious now! You sound like your more like 60 with how athletic you are. That is fantastic!

To say one more thing PRP is great on arthritis. Takes a few days or a week to sit around. Better than surgery. Luck to you.
