Find the doctor who has a good amount of experience I am 50 year old man with chronic back pain. I decided to try the PRP injections, and took 2 time procedure of Regenexx DDD, which costs me total of $8K. Unfortunately, this didn't work out well, and I wasted my time. This procedure was performed in San Diego office by Dr. Derrington, who's kind, but lack of clinical experience because I realized his diagnosis and procedure turned out incorrect, and his treatment wasn't enough to address my issue.

I had my Stem Cell procedure on my left knee... I had my Stem Cell procedure done on May 2019 in Atlanta. The consultation was great. The orthopedic did a in-depth examination of my knee along with reviewing my MRI images. The process of a stem cell injection includes a pre-injection(2 days before) of prolotherapy and post-injection(2 days after) of PRP. It has been almost 5 months since my stem cell injection and my knee doesn’t feel any better. It’s a expensive procedure. I got my lateral meniscus partially removed and I was hoping stem cells would give me relief. I believe stem cells work for some but not all. It didn’t work for me unfortunately just like my surgery didn’t either. On a side note, I have noticed lots of fake reviews. Makes me question Regenexx true intentions which is $$$.

Swimming shoulder injury repaired freeing swimmer from pain. I had spend 4 months in physical therapy rehabilitating my shoulder only to have the first swim meet I entered, wipe out my gains. After Regenex, and a 3-month recovery with mild rehabilitation exercises to keeping the shoulder loose and flexible, I dropped 7 seconds off my 200 yard freestyle time. Best part...no pain the next day. The bad part...this meant I had to starting going to practice again.

No personal experience No personal experience, but as a medical doctor who's had his own share of sports-related injuries (I guess you could call it arthritis, but I don't, yet), I've been interested in early reports in the use of platelet rich plasma for tendinitis and knee arthritis. HOWEVER no good quality study has ever proven it works. If regenexx goes beyong PRP to actual stem cells this might be different, but I'd wait to see the evidence. Knee arthritis is a common condition and therefore an intervention like this is relatively easy to study in a randomised controlled fashion.
