Thank you very much. There was something about Cortisone at the end in the video, but couldn't make out. Can you please advice.

[@VictoryInMotion1]

@@BecauseofHisLove777 thank you for your question. Don’t have time to go look at the exact quote in the video right this second, but can try to check on it later. Bottom line, however, is that Cortisone is bad. Yes, it decreases inflammation, but it also decreases healing, increases the risk of infection, increases blood sugar, which is bad in diabetics, can cause fat necrosis underneath the skin which can lead to deformities, and can cause light patches on the skin, not to mention suppress the production of normal Cortisone by our adrenal glands. I may have been referencing that there have been two studies over the last couple of years that have confirmed what we already know. Patients who received Cortisone injections into their knees, actually had more rapid development of arthritis than patients who did not get Cortisone injections. Also, if a patient is given a Cortisone injection into their area where we are going to be performing surgery, we have to wait at least 6 to 8 weeks to perform the surgery because of the increased risk of infection and wound healing problems. If a patient has had a Cortisone injection into their shoulder within a full year, and they undergo a rotator cuff repair, they have a much, much higher rate of not healing the rotator cuff repair. So, just a bunch of reasons why Cortisone is terrible in our opinion. We very, very rarely use it. It is technology from the 1940s. It is artificial.

What about collagen, bpc 157 or other supplements, can it help?

[@VictoryInMotion1]

Good question. We do not Rx peptides at this time, but BPC 157 is reported to aid in the recovery after exercise amongst other things. Interestingly, it is actually a banned substance for competitive/professional/Olympic/world class athletes, so that does lend to the fact that it sounds like it is truly a performance enhancer since it is banned. Again, we cannot comment on personal use because we do not prescribe it currently. It is also not FDA approved, so there are regulatory issues that also need to be considered. As far as collagen and other supplements, and some people would consider peptides supplements, that is a personal choice. Always read the package insert and/or consult with your pharmacist/physician/medical provider regarding any supplements you take. Since collagen is not a banned substance it is doubtful that it enhances performance, but some people do feel that taking collagen, even going way back to Knox Nutrijoint helps their joint pain and their flexibility. Nothing Earth shattering, nothing as profound as using cellular based therapy, but a personal choice. We hope that helps. Thank you!

[@VictoryInMotion1]

Technically, there are no true “stem cell“ therapies in the United States. Meaning, we cannot culture and grow stem cells currently, and then inject them back into a patient except under special circumstances, such as an approved research study for example. however, bone marrow, which has stem cells in it, can be aspirated and/or concentrated and utilized as well as certain forms of adipose tissue that also have a higher concentration of stem cells in them than other types of body tissues. Technically these are “off label“ uses, but as long as the use is considered “homologous” and Proper informed consent is performed, they can be utilized for the knee. We tend to utilize bone marrow because it has both hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells as well as many other types of cells and growth factors.

@@Cindy-df1xk this is completely untrue. There are definitely ways to grow back new cartilage, whether it be surgically or nonsurgically, but, correctly, there is no way currently to grow back new cartilage to make someone’s arthritic knee look like a normal knee when they were 18 …yet, but we are definitely making progress compared to where we were five years ago and especially 10 years ago. There was just recently a study that came out that showed that the thickness of the cartilage along the inner/medial portion of the knee improved over the course of two years using ultrasonic guidance after a PRP injection. That is promising, and there are also several MRI studies looking specifically at cartilage regrowth that do show some regrowth, again, not perfect. To me, what we really need is a large scale arthroscopic before and after regenerative medicine technique study in order to measure this more accurately. Definitely not perfect at this time, but definitely can greatly improve symptoms, function, and overall remodeling of the interior of the joint in addition to, in some cases, growing back some articular cartilage, but I don’t know of any studies that show that we can grow meniscus back yet either. I hope that helps answer your question. PS : to say “never” in medicine, and most things in life, is a mistake. Way back when it could “never” be that the earth was not flat, we know that’s completely false now in addition to many, many other “nevers”. Someday we will prevent or significantly slow down arthritis as opposed to even having to try to regrow cartilage back. Genetic/gene therapy, etc… it is coming!

Remember, people are like snowflakes, people‘s problems are like snowflakes, no two are the same. Bottom line: our bodies have factors in our blood and cells in our body that help prevent us from breaking down every day. As we get older, they may not work as well, but regenerative medicine experts like ourselves basically just take those factors and cells, concentrate them, and inject them into the areas that need help.

The cell based therapies are the best currently, and, yes, there are some minimally, invasive surgical techniques to help grow cartilage back as well, which are all light years ahead of where we were five or 10 years ago. Having said that, agree, that it is disappointing. There is no “cure” where we can completely reverse the effects of arthritis. So, prevention is mentioned and that is, as once was said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” You would also be surprised how many people have no idea that there are injections such as PRP or BMAC which insurance companies and big Pharma are not wanting patients to know about, so, yes, it is a secret to many patients that they have no clue there are treatments that can help your body heal itself that are not covered by insurance purposely. They absolutely work better than standard physical therapy, Cortisone injections, gel injections, and even surgical treatments in many studies. There’s a lot of literature out there that insurance companies and big Pharma don’t want you to know about either. So, again, a secret. Glad you are searching for other alternatives and if you are going to be upset with anybody, I would be upset with the insurance companies and big Pharma, who aren’t doing enough to advance to where we can prevent arthritis in the first place with Gene based therapies and things like that. So there is absolutely hope, but insurance companies and big Pharma don’t want you to know that. At some point, we will get there, but yes, you have a right to be upset that these treatments aren’t fully here one quarter of the way through the 21st century. If we could get a man on the moon at the end of, the 1960s, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to cure arthritis 1/4 of the way through the 21st century.
