Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have pain in my knees and thighs. I have consulted many doctors, and they asked me to get a MRI scan done. My recent MRI report the last month showed that I m suffering from AVN of both hips of the femoral head and neck and also a bulging disk in L5 which is causing pain in my lower back. I am consulting one of the best orthopedics in my city and now continue with Alendronate for the week and calcium tablets. I did not want to go for THR as I m only 25 years old, so I am looking for non-surgical treatment; and recently came across stem cell therapy and want to know the success rate for the same and any other non-surgical treatment. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Alendronate has a prolonged process to make you better and pain-free. You require an injection. Stem cells do not work, so please do not go for it. All the patients I have seen have failed to use stem cell therapy. Also, refrain from core decompression surgery.
I hope this information will help you.
Thanks.
