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!

My TKR was one of pain and swelling. I would work out in the pool and swelling would happen. My knee is still swollen 7 years later. I have had tests to see if it came loose. I was told doing another TKR would only see a 10% improvement. So i have learned to live with it. I opted for stem cells and PRP as i did not want to go through another TKR where it may work or not.

I also had PRP on my back for l4 and l5 and it has worked great. I noticed many NFL players are using it.
The question comes up about costs. After having a "free "tkr i will be happy to pay for stem cells and PRP. Many companies in our area are covering the costs. But i tell me people ,weigh the options and make a decision and live with it. If a peron as arthritis PRP seems to work well to eliminate the pain.
