I had great pain relief in my L knee… I had great pain relief in my L knee for approximately 5 months. I think my joint inflammation after time destroyed my stem cells. Whatever destructive process caused my bone on bone arthritis, persisted. I think the key is to decrease the inflammation prior to the stem cell therapy. I don't think more stem cells will be helpful. I still think that it was worth trying initially

Repair of serious rotator cuff tears.... After a fairly serious set of tears to my rotator cuff, Regenexx and my Doctor at Centeno Schultz did super concentrated PRP on my shoulder. Within a week or so, I was pain free, and then after 4 months, I was playing competitive racquetball again. Now, a year later, I'm still pain free, riding long distance bicycle events, golfing and playing racquetball with little thought to my shoulder.

Saved me from SI joint fusion and gave me my life back! I had traumatic fractures of both SI joints with marked instability on the left. I spent months in physical therapy and receiving steroid injections every 12 weeks with no real improvement. In my last ditch effort to avoid fusion surgery I met with a Regenexx doctor for PRP/platelet lysate therapy. I am now 9 months out of my procedure and my results could not be any better. Regenexx saved my life and I am forever grateful.

Does NOT work for advanced degenerative joint damage In April 2021 I had a video consult with Dr. Leiber about Regenexx procedures to the right hip joint which had given me problems for 10 years. He did inform me that the hip joint is the most difficult to treat with these procedures, but nevertheless went ahead and recommended stem cell, plasma and fat cell injections after receiving a current MRI of the hip. NOTHING helped even a little bit! I feel that after looking at the MRI and realizing that this hip is experiencing moderate to severe degeneration, he should have made the decision that Regenexx procedures will not reverse or even ameliorate the condition. I feel making money was a priority in this case. A year later (last month) I had a total hip replacement and feel 100% better now.

Stem cell procedure on my knee Stem Cell procedure on my knee: The first few months after my procedure, my knee felt great. It has gotten progressively worse. At the 6 month follow up appointment, the doctor said that I needed a "booster shot" for $1,400. However, during the appointment, he didn't even examine or touch my knee. I felt as though all he was concerned about was more money.
