If I was Really Bone on Bone the leg would be straight, no bending at all. I got a lite weight knee brace that pushes on side on knee to Open up knee bone to accept stem cells. I saw x-rays from 1 yr a go of bone on bone. Don’t know what it looks like this year.
Must decide about Compartmental surgery and holding out for cells.? Any thoughts?
I would not say it was painless. The injections were a bit painful, especially in my knee which was already quite swollen. I have continued to have swelling and some soreness in the knee. The shoulder is fine but the tendinitis in the arm is still painful. Guess the stem cells don’t do anything for that since it is not in the joint where they were placed. If it works for you, stem cell is best way to go in my opinion. If it does not work, you always can go for one of the other options.

I had stem cells and PRP done at Mayo in Rochester last fall. It was done by Dr. Smith. Total cost was $4650 which included additional injection. I was not eligible for the trial as i have too many other health problems. Dr Smith is in charge of a FDA trial regarding stem cells in knees. You can find the trial information on the Mayo website. Dr. Smith and his staff are excellent in providing information and answers to questions
