OA Experience

A Stem Cell Procedure for Osteoarthritis of the Knee, My Experience

(see full introduction)

I had a stem cell procedure on September 18, 2009 that is expected to alleviate some of the issues of my osteoarthritis (oa) by regrowing cartilage (and therefore NO knee replacement surgery). I am excited about the prospects for this procedure as an alternative to more invasive solutions. It should be good for the insurance companies, the patients and the significant others that have to put up with the recovery.
