    Here's the link, Joan http://tinyurl.com/nh8wesx

    I think they're some way off yet, though. I get the impression it's only been used for sport injuries, not OA. We can all live in hope though :D
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I saw it too (the Express favours arthritis cures for its headlines) but, like Sticky, I thought it wouldn't be for your average OA-er, well, not yet. Someone on here took part in a trial for something like this but I can't remember who. :oops: DD

    I did see it Joan

    stem cells was it?

    It was a chap who had it done, he had to pay DD...he was (sorry to say it :oops: ) young. If his name comes to me I'll add it then people can see how he did.

    Love
