    I'm 58 years old and have been a boxer and weightlifter. I still work out even though I have no cartilage left in my shoulders. I heard about this years ago when they were doing this procedure in Sweden and was wondering when the U.S. was going to get into the 20th century. I am definately going to look into this, it would be nice to be able to work out without pain for a change.....

      Hi Mike ive just read your comment i have the same condition Osteoarthritis due to an old injury & just got worse over time due to construction work & weightlifter i'am in so much pain its unbelievable i'am only 39 its a setback in my life & i cant imagine myself doing anything else but my work i do & weight training, football etc,that's all i know & it feels like its just down hill from here i don't want to opt for shoulders replacements neither steroid injections now I've heard about stem cell injections that sounds like there's light at the end of tunnel a new lease of life but i cant get the support i need, & i just hope the NHS in my country the United Kingdom & brings this to light & offers this to many other individuals like ourselves but any way that's me done talking, i just hope one day you'll be cured from this injury so your back to your old self take care mike.
