1/5 Thanigai K. 1 year ago on Google
I
did
bone
marrow
stem
cell
procedure
on
my
both
knees
for
the
Osteoarthritis
-III
issues
with
Regen
Arthritis
Clinic;
I
choose
the
clinic
purely
based
on
the
positive
reviews
from
Google
with
the
name
of
Regen
Clinic
which
I
thought
equivalent
to
Regenexx
(Mumbai/Hyderabad)
for
the
alternate
treatment
for
the
Knee
Replacement.
From
Appointment
to
procedure
everything
went
well
and
the
staffs
in
the
clinic
are
very
courteous
sand
supportive.
Doctor
also
explained
the
findings,
BMAC
procedure
and
expected
improvement
with
BMAC
and
PRP
procedure
in
well
detailed
way
with
cost/fee
details.
I
agreed
for
BMAC
procedure
which
is
1.5L
per
knee
(around
3L
for
my
bilateral
knee
issues)
and
completed
the
procedure
immediately
which
took
around
1
to
1.5
Hrs
(~20Min
Pulling
the
Bone
Marrow
from
Pelvis
Bone,
around
30
to
40
Min
for
separating
the
stem
cell
in
the
special
machine
and
another
20
Min
for
Injecting
the
same
into
the
knee
joint
like
normal
injection)
and
they
allowed
me
to
walk
immediately
after
the
procedure.
The
heavy
swelling
and
severe
pain
started
from
that
night
and
next
day
I
canβt
even
shake
my
leg
where
immediately
contacted
the
doctor
as
they
said
even,
I
can
travel
back
after
the
procedure
and
there
is
not
any
restriction
for
walking,
driving
or
from
any
normal
routine
activities.
Dr
advised
to
take
rest
and
continue
the
recommended
physios,
I
did
the
same
and
it
took
around
10
days
to
2
weeks
to
start
my
normal
walking
and
once
I
resumed
the
work,
there
was
no
significant
improvement
and
in
fact
more
pain
which
noticed
after
the
procedure
is
continued
till
6
to
7
weeks.
I
was
updating
the
condition
to
the
clinic
and
the
feedback
was
the
improvement
can
be
seen
around
3rd
month
only.
Once
I
entered
4th
Month
also
the
issues
remain
the
same
and
I
contacted
the
Doctor
who
advises
to
come
directly
to
verify
the
condition
with
latest
MRI.
This
month
I
reported
to
clinic
along
with
MRI
report
which
almost
reflects
the
same
findings
noticed
in
pre
procedure
MRI
(Old)
and
my
pain
and
other
symptoms
also
remains
same
and
in
some
condition
its
more
also.
Then
doctor
prescribed
some
pain
killer
tablets
for
week
and
comeback
for
review
which
I
donβt
want
to
take
it
considering
the
long-term
side
effects
and
primarily
thatβs
the
main
reason
we
choose
this
BMAC
procedure
to
avoid
these
kinds
of
tablets
and
to
find
the
alternate
for
Knee
replacement
surgery.
Conclusion
β
The
BMAC
procedure
I
tried
through
Regen
Arthritis
Clinic
for
Osteoarthritis
is
failed;
though
I
know
itβs
kind
of
experimental,
I
was
expecting
at
least
50%
improvement
can
be
good
to
manage
my
routine
works
but
in
my
case
itβs
exactly
same
or
more
symptoms
than
the
pre-procedure
period
and
mainly
considering
the
high
cost
of
3L
for
bilateral
knee,
I
advise
strongly
to
explore
the
alternate
ways
or
to
seek
second
opinion
prior
to
finalizing
this
procedure
at
Regen
Arthritis
Clinic.
