Answered by Dr. Abhilash C S

Is stem cell therapy worth trying for osteoarthritis at 52?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and understand your concern. From your history, it does sound like you are dealing with ongoing knee pain related to osteoarthritis. I can understand why you feel frustrated, especially after trying physical therapy, cortisone injections, and hyaluronic acid injections without getting lasting relief. Many people in their early 50s also feel hesitant about moving straight to knee replacement surgery, so your concerns are completely understandable.
