Brad and Chris the Pharmacist discuss how total knee replacements may be able to be avoided with knee injections.
Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob.

My experience: actually my wife, had partial knee replacement surgery from sports at 43 years old.....regrets the surgery and not much difference a year later from the best surgical doctor in America. Some people get Surgery and are jogging 8 months later......Do your research, avoid surgery if possible.

@stevefichter7615 2 года назад

Did knee injections for 8 1/2 years before replacements. Kept me going for cycling , running, triathlons. Three years later back up to 30-40 miles on any given day on the bike. I will be 76 in June

@user-dq9gu4sq4w 10 месяцев назад

I go for massage therapy and accuputure and stretching on my knees and legs and I don't have any more stiffness or pain and they loosed up all the tight muscles in my legs and I am going for injections

@TheDajamster 2 года назад

I get Synvisc shots in my knee every so often. It feels great the first day or so (local anesthesia). Then it hurts quite a bit for a few days, then it levels out and my knee just aches a little. I do have to be careful for the first week or so - there's a bit of instability, but that gets better too. Well worth the effort!

@HandsIntoHistory 2 года назад

10 years ago, I very badly injured my knee: tore the muscle, had a badly torn meniscus, and a herniation. I was almost going to get traditional meniscus surgery, and would have faced a knee replacement after that due to the injury. But then I looked into Regenexx ( yes, spelled with 2 x's ), which is stem cells taken from your hip, then put into the injured site. I opted to do that instead of the traditional surgery, and I'm SO SO SO thankful I did!! I had COMPLETE healing, and it also healed my arthritis! I had a PRP treatment in my left knee for a very minor meniscus tear, and it has kept it at bay all these years. Almost 4 years ago, my best friend had the same stem cell procedure done on her knees, and it brought her from a wheelchair to walking with no assistance and she texts me on the anniversary of her procedure, thanking me for having had it done so that she would know about it and have the opportunity to get it done too!

@pmmacctg 2 года назад

Is PRP another name for Regenerexx?

@HandsIntoHistory 2 года назад

@@pmmacctg No. PRP stands for Platlet Rich Plasma, which is when they take your own blood, spin it in a centrifuge, then inject it back into the injured site. Very similar to the Regenexx, but instead with Regenexx they draw from your hip marrow to get the stem cells. I'll sing the praises the rest of my life about how wonderful Regenexx is, wish I got paid for it, lol, but seriously, it's the best thing I could have done! My knee is 100% healed, and if I hadn't had it done, I would have had to get a knee replacement!

@miriamnewton1147 2 года назад

I have heard that stem cell therapy is very expensive and insurance does not pay for it. Who can afford $10,000 unless you are wealthy?

@jennifermikuluk2357 2 года назад

Wondering what that cost and did your insurance pay any part of it. I didn’t think it was proven therapy yet.

@HandsIntoHistory 2 года назад

@@miriamnewton1147 @Jennifer Mikuluk it wasn't covered at the time. Ok, so, here's how I made the decision. Our insurance was horrid at the time, and the 2 surgeries I would need (meniscus, then knee replacement) was going to cost me from $3,000 to $5,000 out of pocket for EACH, for a total of $6,000-$10,000 total. The stem cell procedure cost me $4,000 total. I had a really good contract at the time (I'm an independent contractor as a sign language interpreter), and I was able to set the money aside for it. I also opted for the additional PRP treatments they advised of before and after the stem cell. PRP acts as a 'fertilizer' for the stem cells, giving it a good base to work (that's the best way I can explain it). Those were $1,000 each. My total was $6,000, which was what I would have had to pay minimum out of pocket for the traditional surgeries. And instead of an artificial knee, I have a fully healed knee! If I had to do it again, having limited funds now, I would take money from an IRA, or save whatever tax refund I could, or work extra to get the money for it, even if it was a PRP treatment to tide me over till I could get the stem cell. I wish it could be covered under insurance. But my doctor was furious with the government, cuz they want to approve it, but if they do, they'll have to label it as a 'drug'. In otherwords, your stem cells, once removed and spun in the centrifuge, would become a drug and then will be sold back to you at a cost of over $90,000! How does a $4,000 procedure become worth that much just to be approved by the FDA?? It's ridiculous! I'm wondering if the company, Regenexx, is refusing to allow the government to approve it and therefore exploit it so. Like I said above, it meant being saved from a wheelchair for my best friend, and I wish more people could have the opportunity to get it done!

I 💖 Bob and Brad and Physical Therapy. My lower back became imobile for years after a car accident. Bob shared his lower back stretch with a suggestion to do this after sitting. At first I couldn't detect any benefit but Bob's advice kept playing in my mind. Then after a year or more it happened that I did the little stretch and felt a little pop and my back moves now.

@braveheart977 2 года назад

Everybody reacts differently. Steroid injections work well for me. The hyluraunic did nothing for me. I think the key is to treat early on with diet, therapy and injections before the damage is too far gone when surgery is the only option. And with surgery every outcome is different, even on the same body.

I knew a lady who got the "rooster" shot. She said it hurt terribly to get the shot. And it did take a while to feel any relief. The relief did come eventually, but it was minimal for her. She called them "bone shots" because they hurt so much it felt like they were injected into the bones.

I've been receiving periodic PRPs since 2017 for my knees. They work well and allow me to continue running though not at the level I used to. Two techniques I'd like to hear more about are "dry needling" and Ostiactamy (I'm not sure if I'm spelling it correctly) It involves surgically realigning the shin bone by placing a wedge in which bone grows around> Its for cases like mine where the wear is only on the inside of the knee joint.

My last injection they injected it slowly and I never felt thing.

Pêche, I took Osteo Bi-Flex for a couple of years and it helped immensely. This was in 2015-2016, before I started keto and transitioning to very low carb (100+-) and IF in Summer 2017. Lost about 30 lbs too. I also started weight training especially the muscles around the knees. I know the Osteo BF helped because I did several 'experiments' where I stopped for a week and then my knee started hurting. Within 3-4 days of retaking Osteo, my pain went away. I've done this same 'experiment' over the last few years of low carb (eat more carbs, reduce carbs) and I get the same results. I'm 66 and this lifestyle works for me 😺.

Any promise on stem cell injections for knee osteoarthritis? I know they are doing studies currently.

I had Regenexx done on my badly damaged knee, got 100% healing! Regenexx is stem cells taken from your hip. It's the best thing I ever did! You might want to check into it!

@@dtshopper19 I think I replied to you elsewhere under someone else's comment. Here's my answer from there just in case you didn't see it. It wasn't covered at the time. Ok, so, here's how I made the decision. Our insurance was horrid at the time, and the 2 surgeries I would need (meniscus, then knee replacement) was going to cost me from $3,000 to $5,000 out of pocket for EACH, for a total of $6,000-$10,000 total. The stem cell procedure cost me $4,000 total. I had a really good contract at the time (I'm an independent contractor as a sign language interpreter), and I was able to set the money aside for it. I also opted for the additional PRP treatments they advised of before and after the stem cell. PRP acts as a 'fertilizer' for the stem cells, giving it a good base to work (that's the best way I can explain it). Those were $1,000 each. My total was $6,000, which was what I would have had to pay minimum out of pocket for the traditional surgeries. And instead of an artificial knee, I have a fully healed knee! If I had to do it again, having limited funds now, I would take money from an IRA, or save whatever tax refund I could, or work extra to get the money for it, even if it was a PRP treatment to tide me over till I could get the stem cell. I wish it could be covered under insurance. But my doctor was furious with the government, cuz they want to approve it, but if they do, they'll have to label it as a 'drug'. In otherwords, your stem cells, once removed and spun in the centrifuge, would become a drug and then will be sold back to you at a cost of over $90,000! How does a $4,000 procedure become worth that much just to be approved by the FDA?? It's ridiculous! I'm wondering if the company, Regenexx, is refusing to allow the government to approve it and therefore exploit it so. Like I said above, it meant being saved from a wheelchair for my best friend, and I wish more people could have the opportunity to get it done!

@@jennifermikuluk2357 The doctor who did the procedure used ultrasound both for the procedure, as well as my followup appointments, and took photos via the ultrasound, which is how he knew I had full healing. I have before and after photos, and even someone with no medical experience can see the difference. It's amazing! I've said it before, but I wish I could get paid for all the promotion I've given the company, lol. But I assure you, I had to pay for the procedure, they didn't pay me, haha.

I had that done! My knee was badly damaged from several falls, and I had Regenexx done and it completely healed my knee! My best friend had it done too, and it brought it from a wheelchair to walking without assistance! We both sing the praises of this method, it was the best thing I could have ever done!

Are Hyaluronic Shots used for arthritis in the ankle? Mine was badly injured 15 years ago. Tallus joint and tendon was nearly severed. Very painful. I am not in favor of cortisone because of more degeneration to bone, cartilage and tendon. I want to have pain relief; it gets worse every year. Can you help? I have been told it's not approved for the ankle and not covered by insurance.

Unfortunately injections only mask the issue and are a short term fix. Once arthritis erodes your cartilage it’s not growing back. Everyone I know with bad knee arthritis only got injections as an interim solution. Once you are bone on bone the only long term fix is replacement.
