Will my hip hurt after core decompression for avascular necrosis w/ #stemcell? Patient Tes...

This video features a brief early-stage recovery testimonial from a patient five days after a procedure for a hip condition, shared by Dr. Don Buford.

Key Highlights:

  • The Procedure: The patient underwent a bone marrow concentrate (BMC) stem cell injection to treat a hip issue (indicated as core decompression for avascular necrosis in the video title) just five days prior to the recording.
  • Pain Levels: When asked to rank her current pain on a scale from 0 to 10, she rates it at a low 2 out of 10.
  • Recovery Progress: She notes that while the discomfort was slightly more noticeable at night directly following the procedure, it was never very severe during the day. Her symptoms have steadily and progressively improved to the point that she is no longer taking any pain medications.
  • Mobility: The patient is successfully managing her daily movements using crutches during this early phase of joint healing.
