This video is an immediate post-operative testimonial from a patient who just received a bone marrow-derived stem cell injection in her knee to treat arthritis.
The patient notes that her knee pain had been gradually worsening for three to four years, deteriorating further after she suffered a stroke earlier in the year. Despite her medical history and being on Eliquis (a blood thinner), the procedure was performed safely under ultrasound guidance. She rates the pain of the bone marrow harvesting from her iliac crest as a very mild 2 out of 10, noting the process was much less painful than she anticipated. Her recovery expectations are to eliminate her daily walking pain and joint popping.
