Sever arthritis in my shoulder almost bone on bone

[pd1]

I'm 64. I have arthritis in my right shoulder was told i needed shoulder replacement. My doc is a good guy and knew that wouldn't work for me. one cant lift like I do with a replacement shoulder. He proposed scoping the shoulder cleaning it out and implanting stem cells he took from my hip. Went for it in October-- After 90 days i had a series of 3 injections of Euflexxa. My shoulder hasn't felt this good for years! I know the Scoping was a great help but can't say if it's the stem cells or the Euflexxa responsible for my virtually pain free lifting. I think its both. It will be a while before the cells can fully work. I'm confident i will, continue to improve and hope to keep lifting the rest of my life

Damn, sounds like you got one hell of a good doctor. I am a big believer in stem cell procedures trouble is most doctors are not on board yet. PS can't believe someone as old as you is posting on the steroid board....oh wait a minute I am 60 myself

I see your in the states too! I also need a total reverse joint replacement - but been putting it off for this reason(stem cell research and injections) I've had 3 laps done and reconstructive surgery on my R shoulder(chronic bersitus no ball it's a damn square - rips tears took my R biceps tendon bone spurs surgically removed etc - broken R scapula, and lots of nerve damage)

Did you have to go to a different country for the injections(I've heard they can harvest here in the states - but not inject the stem cells?!

If you could elaborate a bit more it'd be greatly appreciated!! Thx pd1!
