I was afraid I’d be celebrating my 59th birthday having knee surgery. Not in the plan for a woman who wants to stay active for the next 50 years!
I’d injured my knee in August and months of physical therapy did what it could. By December I could barely limp to my car. Just getting into JOI across that huge parking lot was torture. Another doc was draining two big syringes of fluid off my knee every time I came in. Ow!
But Dr. Kaplan had stem cells up his sleeve and soon mine were in my knee. After months of little relief from physio, you can imagine my surprise when the pain relief was almost immediate and flexibility followed soon after. In a little under 60 days, I’m back in my track shoes building up my distance again.
You don’t have to be a sports star to get cutting edge treatment. Heck, I was downright flabby by the time I limped into JOI. It’s nice to see all the professional athletes on the page, but I figured it would be reassuring for prospective patients to see that knee repair can be almost instantaneous even for 50-somethings. I’m a big woman at 6 feet putting some serious wear on my knees and this was magic!
Dr. Kaplan has good hands with a needle. Best of all, he’s got stem cell tech that works like the Creator reached down and did a parts replacement on the spot. I asked for something that would get me back on my size 11 feet again and keep me there for years to come. He delivered. Such a joy to be mobile and pain free. The hardest part now is remembering not to overdo.
