Read about an outpatient procedure where your body fat is removed, processed and injected in to painful joints. It is called Stem Cell Therapy and it takes about 30 days to completely alleviate the pain. Fat has about 1,000 more stem cells than bone marrow. Some of the cells turn into fibroblasts cells that repair tendons and ligaments. Others become chondrocytes cells that produce new cartilage. And still others turn in to osteoblasts to grow new bone. The end result is a brand new joint!! I don't know what the status is on this but it sure does sound promising.
