Has anyone had stem cell therapy for their shoulders for torn rotator cuffs? If so how was it any side effects reactions and it did it work? Is stem cell therapy really worth the money?

There was some discussion about it here a few months ago - maybe someone who tried it will chime in. In the meantime, here is the most recent article from Mayo Clinic:

This 2021 article in Science Direct seems to me to conclude that it is promising but requires much more testing:

According to my (very trusted) ortho, it works in limited circumstances but can be worth a try for avoiding surgery.
Do you have a full or partial tear? What therapies have you tried so far?
