Ms. You complained that her knees had been creaky and painful for three years. She has no trauma history, and her condition is not weather-related. She came to our hospital and was diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, which is suitable for stem cell treatment.
Pre-Treatment Condition (Before the First Course of Treatment)
• Mobility Limitations：She is unable to squat on her own or stand up independently.
• Pain during Standing：When in a sitting position with her hips lower than her knees, she experiences knee pain while standing up.
• Examination Results：An MRI at the local hospital shows no abnormalities in the knees blood tests indicate that there is no rheumatism.
• Persistent Symptoms: Despite the normal test results, she constantly feels knee pain; her knees make creaking sounds when she moves.
First Course of Stem Cell Treatment (July 2009)
Outcomes After the First Course of Treatment
• Pain Relief: One month after stem cell transplantation, patient no longer experiences knee pain.
• Reduced Creaking: Her knees seldom make creaking sounds now.
• Restored Mobility: She can move her knees freely, indicating a significant improvement in knee function.
Progress Summary & Future Outlook
In the following months, with continued self-care and potentially periodic follow-up treatments, Ms. You may fully regain normal knee function. She could gradually engage in more physical activities like walking, jogging, or even light sports. Regular check- ups will be crucial to ensure the stability of her knee condition. Her case also offers valuable insights for other patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis, bringing hope for a better quality of life through this innovative treatment approach.
