Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Stem cell treatment

Have any of you had a stem cell treatment for a knee injury? If so, how did it go? Did you get relief?

What particular type of knee injury are you referring to?

Stem cell treatment may be of benefit in cartilaginous damage, though the evidence is not very strong thus far.

A coworker has had it for shoulder injury. It was a very painful procedure to extract the stem cells and ultimately it didn't offer any lasting benefit.

However, a friend of mine has been going to Mexico for stem cell treatments for what was ultimately diagnosed as Lyme Disease. So far this has been life changing for her in a very positive way.

The order for prolotherapy in increasing cost is dextrose --> platelet rich plasma --> stem cell. I fixed a knee injury with the dextrose and didn't have to go to the others. Check out Caring Medical's videos on youtube.
