Lipogems work for anyone?

Posted , 2 users are following.

LTKR May 2017 had allergic reaction complications and ended up in a wheelchair for 10 months. I am now walking with one crutch but would like to avoid RTKR. I have had a cortisone injection which only worked for 2 weeks; had to wait 6 months before getting a Synvisc injection which worked 3 months and am eligible for another Synvisc injection at the end of July. Have lipogems worked for anyone? If so, has it been a "permanent" solution or does the injection have to be administered intermittently? 

Here is what I read-"Capitalizing on the fact that your fat tissue contains the highest concentration of reparative cells compared to other tissue, the patented Lipogems® process extracts and purifies a small amount of your fat tissue.

Then the new tissue is injected to help facilitate a healing environment that  can repair, replace, or reconstruct damaged or injured tissue. 

This innovative process is available, through specific orthopedic surgeons and other specialists, and may be the answer you’ve been searching for."

    I am sure if you look hard enough there is probably a drug or injection for any and all, there might be some truth to the claims but I am also sure if it was that good why haven't more doctors, surgeons been made aware of these amazing results??? All I am getting at just because the ad looks official and its endorsed by someone does not mean it will work I tend to look at this type of miracle cure like the millions of different weight loss pills or back in the old days when the medicine man came to town trying to sell his miracle elixir that cured all. Hope it works but I will stay away. Another reason some of this is so new that insurance companies may not cover it I will stick with tried and true methods in spite of all I have been thru.
