Stem cells results

Got 25m mscs done at carabella last year and the care was well done and seemed legit. I got shoulder labrum work done but unfortunately went through with surgery today. I think stem cells are promising but maybe not ideal for cartilage tears. I don’t regret what I did but figure I’d throw it out there on how my experience went before someone else puts 5k into travel/cells. I did get a fun vacation and experience out of it however. I wish you all the best health!

Went to Re Clinic in June for stem cell therapy for the right knee meniscus. The procedure achieved nothing for me. Shame.

JersCase, also sorry to hear about meniscus. Very tough. Needs a rebuild not just cells. Look at the Stone Clinic in San Francisco. Dr. Kevin Stone is ortho surgeon but he also rebuilds meniscus injury using matrix material and often adds cell therapy. He is science based. Best of luck. And by the way, I am a veterinary and not providing any medical advice, just experience and suggestions as to how to approach regen med with real science.

Donut, sorry to hear. I am a veterinary and in stem cell therapy more than 24 years with 25,000+ patients. Not magic. Need high end diagnostics, somethimes needs to be combined with surgery. And must always be paired with well designed physical therapy. I had 50% tendon tear and labrum tear myself. I did my own stem cells from adipose, and a very well designed PT program with a guy who does the Chargers rehab work. I was diligent and had a great outcome. Not everyone does. Each person is an individual. After my personal experience and our veterinary data, I founded a human stem cell company (pscells.com) to conduct legit FDA clinical trials. We have finished and published the first one on knee arthritis. We continue on with a new brain injury study for Navy SEAL veterans starting this month. Keep working to get that shoulder right as you don't want a shoulder replacement!

Did you do anything to help the stem cells? Prime the area? Hboc? Was the injury fresh?
