There is a common myth that autologous(patient's own) bone marrow stem cells do not work in the elderly. However, Hernigou's pioneering work on hip pain and knee pain has shown that it is a myth. This is because the iliac crest from where we extract bone marrow stem cells does not show a dramatic decline in numbers with aging. This has been our experience too when treating the elderly with back pain and joint pains with bone marrow stem cells. Alice is 91 years. Yes, 91. She has been suffering from serious low back pain for 13 years from severe spinal stenosis, facet arthritis, and disc degeneration. She failed epidural injections and did not want surgery or opioids. She received her own bone marrow stem cells in her Discs, Facet, and Sacroiliac joints. About 6 weeks later she is almost pain-free and able to do enjoy her life. https://youtu.be/sTPO-zXYbA4 See the video to see her response.
