From Our Patients

I used to be a very active person. Walk everywhere, dancing, exercising, working and taking care of my husband and 2 children. Two years ago, I tore both the meniscus in my right knee.

My life and my family’s life completely changed. I couldn’t do anything as I used to. No gym, no dancing, no stairs, no walking, no housework, no job. I was getting more and more depressed. I didn’t want to go through arthroscopy, which the doctors offered me, where they cut off part of my meniscus.

I had heard about Regenexx, but I knew it was in America and it was impossible for me to go there. When I found that actually there is one in England, Agocells, I contacted them straight away. The doctor called me back and explained everything to me. I was very impressed with their service!!

I booked an appointment for a consultation and after Christmas, I had the stem cell therapy. Dr Kirkor, my doctor, and Kerry, his assistant, were FANTASTIC! Very friendly and professional. The procedure was very, very smooth, and the pain was bearable.

After 6 weeks, I went for a small walk for the first time and I had no pain, though my knee still felt a little bit weak. Since that day, my knee is stronger, and I can move and faster when I walk, for a longer distance. I have no pain when I go up the stairs and, little by little, I got my life back. I’m so happy! Thank you Algocells!

I had been suffering from knee pain for quite some time, due to partial meniscus removal in my right knee at the age of 18. When I was 19, I had another arthroscopic surgery for a meniscus tear in my left knee. Again, part of my meniscus was cut off instead of being repaired.

From then on, I had to limit any sports activity and had to sit at the concerts instead of standing close to the stage, though the pain was manageable. This year I went to Cape Town and decided to hike the Table Mountain. The next day, I was not able to move, and the pain was not going away even after a few weeks. I had to work from home because I was not able to drive. I couldn’t even walk my dog.

I visited dozens of doctors – orthopaedists, physiotherapists, traumatologists. I had x-rays and MRIs taken. The diagnosis sounded like a sentence: progressing arthrosis leading to knee replacement in the future.

Then I came across Algocells. I flew to Birmingham full of hope and was not disappointed. I had a Regenexx SCP procedure done on both of my knees. The team of specialists who performed the procedure did an amazing job – thank you Dr Zbigniew, Kerry, and Charles. The injection was painful but bearable since everyone was very supportive and friendly. I was able to walk almost right after the procedure.

Now, I’m six weeks after the Blood Platelet treatment and returning to my normal life. My dog is happy again since we have resumed our long walks. And I will be able to dance at my best friend’s wedding 🙂 Thank you Algocells!

Just a few lines to say a very belated “Thank you” to you, Erin and your team for the treatment that I received in August. Things are definitely less painful and I have to say I feel so good it’s difficult to remember where and how uncomfortable things were.
