We have another friend with the same story. Our sil had it done, it was very successful but he was about 50 at the time. No, if you are aging you better think along time before spending your money and don't expect Medicare to cover any experimental treatments. they shouldn't in my opinion.

Thanks...and with every passing year our knees are aging. Old age catches up with most of us if we live long enough.
On another subject on stem cells, my sister's doctors kept her hanging with hope for them and it never happened...perhaps they knew the MS she lived with was too far gone, she is gone now at 68. Not all doctors tell the truths.
