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.

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 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

mri shows three bulging discs mri shows three bulging discs. had prp therapy completed and the pain was eliminated for two weeks. back to pain level 9. appears the success rate for prp for disc problems is minimal at best. extremely expensive for benefit received. larry fuller

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.
