Six months ago, an unfortunate knee injury resulted in a meniscus tear, confirmed through an MRI. The persistent pain resisted various therapies, worsening to the point where even simple tasks like climbing stairs and exercising became impossible. Faced with the dilemma of surgery, an alternative solution was found in stem cell therapy.

The Decision for Stem Cell Therapy

After careful consideration, the choice was made to pursue stem cell therapy, a procedure conducted in three steps over two weeks. The first step prepared the knee, followed by the application of stem cells and platelets, and finally, platelets around the knee ligaments. Dr. Tambar, known for his gentle approach, ensured the procedure was minimally invasive and less painful than anticipated.

The Procedure and Recovery

The initial expectation of severe pain post-procedure was quickly dispelled. Instead, the pain levels remained manageable, ranging between 1 and 2, significantly lower than the expected 7 to 10 after surgery. The recovery process, aided by physical therapy, showed promising results within four to six weeks. Activities that once seemed impossible, like climbing stairs, swimming, and walking without pain, became manageable once again.

Dr. Tambar’s thorough explanations and compassionate approach stood out throughout the process. He detailed each step, addressing concerns and setting realistic expectations.
