This video features a patient follow-up with Dr. Buford two and a half years after receiving an in-office bone marrow-derived stem cell injection for right knee arthritis.
- Before the Procedure: The patient recalls dealing with significant daily knee pain and functional limitations prior to the treatment, despite having already tried other options like medications and standard knee injections.
- Recovery Timeline: She notes that it took a couple of months after the stem cell injection before she started noticing a meaningful improvement in her knee.
- Long-Term Status: The patient expresses that she has been highly satisfied with the long-term results over the past two and a half years. She returned to the clinic because the knee had just recently started to hurt a bit more over the previous couple of weeks, prompting a checkup on her long-term progress.
