New Option for Osteoarthritis of the Knee

[@TV-zl1et]

I just had this done yesterday. I must confess that I'm so happy I did.

[@mantirig4139]

I am thinking hard on getting it done also, how well has it held up? Im 66 and been working construction most my life

[@TV-zl1et]

I'm 95% better than when I hadn't done it.

[@mantirig4139]

@@TV-zl1etdamn I hope it last at least a year. I wouldn’t know how to act with a 95 percent reduction in pain. Heck I’ll work another year easily with that. Thanks!!!

[@mantirig4139]

@@TV-zl1etone more question. Were you able to go to work the next day?

[@TV-zl1et]

@mantirig4139 toy ate able to return to work the next day with minimal pain but I took that week off to rest at home. I just didn't want to put any stress on myself. I did mine early last year so it's a little over a year now

best vid on this, thanks

Does insurance cover this?

[@nancynusheen7682]

Yes, Medicare in USA does cover GAE

[@andyvaldez26]

By reducing blood flow will that eventually create a blood clot?

[@avtarwadhwa5079]

Is any side effect in this treatment ??

[@avtarwadhwa5079]

Is there is any chance of problems in future ??

[@l.lockleer8836]

After the GAE, how long will the pain stay away? What about the diminished cartilage?

[@stef3565]

Hey Doc, would you recommend your wife or mother have this done?? Thanks!

does his wife or mother have bad knees?

Does this halt the progression of osteoarthritis?

[@MrJpj2010]

I had this procedure done in November 2019 by Dr. Bagla (he's in other GAE videos on YT). I had 4 knee scopes over 15 years before that for torn meniscus and OA. By the time I had the GAE, my synovium was so inflamed that I could barely bend my knee and had 8/10 pain 24 hours. I am now nearly pain free, can run 3 miles without pain/swelling, and work out 4x per week. It's not perfect, but it's the best it's been in nearly two decades. Haven't had imaging to know if the OA has halted, but my knee function tells me it has at least been slowed down.

Hi Dr which country do this ? I live in Australia , how much is cost ? Thank you

[@spezia8066]

Good question, I think he's in USA.

[@spezia8066]

He's been too busy fixing knees. I'm on day 4 after the stem cell PRP jab, and still feeling much better.

[@Zuzikasim]

@@spezia8066 is this effective for joint degeneration?

[@spezia8066]

@@Zuzikasim I had the jab just 10 days ago, so I'm still waiting to see the effects. So far, it has relieved the pain which I suffered at each step. Now some pain manifests after about 1,500 steps, so it is a big improvement for around the house, up and down stairs etc. The receptionist mistakenly told me it cost $50 per session when it should have been $500 per session. So that puts the whole process into doubt for me.

[@johnstorace1967]

My knee joint injection took me from misery back to near normal.

[@stylistxxx]

Yes works works well like Corona vaccine soon you will need another one , I do deep squats , stretches + healthy diet and my pain is less

[@kiwimon8159]

Where did you have it done and how much please?

[@johnstorace1967]

It is a common injection of steroid and other meds given by just about any orthopedic knee specialist. Cost? I can't say, my insurance covered it.

[@whitewolf6730]

Thanks! We need some testimony like that. What does it cost?

[@johnstorace1967]

@@whitewolf6730 I'm not sure, my insurance picked up the tab. I don't think it's expensive, those are pretty cheap drugs. BTW, the injection was pretty much painless.
