I went to physical therapy for knee pain. I have still been working out but can’t workout as hard as I could this time last year. Many in my family have had total knee surgery, I just don’t want that. Is there a study to be involved in for stem cell therapy? I know it’s not covered by insurance but I would love to try! 52 yo/f/ athletic

Hello @awcamanda and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I understand you wanting to do as much as possible in a minimally invasive way. Because others have also started a discussion on the same topic, I have moved your post into the existing discussion to allow all of you to connect and share.
Members like @darlenesass @cobweb and @saeternes have been part of this original conversation on stem cell transplant for knees and may have new information and/or experiences to share with you. Also, I see the wonderful @loribmt has joined and shared a link to some great information that may be useful to you as you explore this option.
What is the biggest draw for you for this option?

Good morning, It’s a shame our knees can’t keep up with our workouts! It’s so important to stay physically active and sadly, our knees can be victims from the years of physical activity.
I found a great article on the Mayo site about regenerative medicine using Stem Cells for knee repair. This might be of interest to you.

Has the physical therapy helped for your knee pain?
