This is all well and good, but why am I reading around the Internet that this is all a bunch of garbage and doesn't work? If it does work, why is the FDA not approving it yet? I've been in so much pain for so long, and I've gone for all sorts of treatments with some of the standard treatments you've described, and nothing works. I have severe osteoarthritis and I keep praying for a cure. When will the cure come?
You're right. The media has savaged the hucksters who tout stem cell therapy for all sorts of diseases. They deserve the tongue lashing they're getting. Stem cells are not a panacea. However, all the media trashing has obscured some really good scientific work being done. It's still way too early to know when stem cells should be used, how they should be used, what the best techniques are and so on. That's why the FDA hasn't approved it..
@tryingtosavemymom The FDA is actually TRYING to regulate stem cell therapy by classifying our bodies' naturally occurring chemicals as drugs. There are lots of hucksters out there but MEDICAL oversight is necessary in this case, not the FDA's.
I suffer from ankle pain after a severe injury and two subsequent surgeries. I'd love to find a viable alternative to another surgery...

Probably not. PRP has its limit. I'm not sure of anyone who has experience with this particular problem.

Can PRP be used to treat an os acromiale? Would it allow the loose fragment of the acromion to fuse with the rest?
Thanks
