Ben Greenfield discusses stem cell injections for injury recovery. Fat-derived stem cells are preferred over umbilical cord cells because they form cartilage better. Some patients are pain-free in a week, while others experience significant pain for 2-3 days or up to 1-2 weeks in severe cases.

Fat (fat-derived stem cells).

Because fat has a greater propensity to turn into cartilage.

Some patients were pain-free within a week; others had significant pain for 2–3 days; in severe cases pain lasted 1–2 weeks; most patients are resting or non–weight-bearing for about 48 hours.

But mainly they turn into either muscle, fat, cartilage. But when it comes to injections, I usually use the fat because the fat is more it has a greater propensity to turn into cartilage, whereas umbilical cord can turn into a lot of different cell lineages.
Interesting. So what's the recovery time like for. For a procedure like that? You know, are you out for a while? Do you get like a lot of pain and a reinitiation, the inflammatory process, or are you like on your feet the next day?
It really varies. I had some people, literally they were pain free in a week and they felt great and had no pain after. And then other people have pretty bad pain for two, three days. If it's really bad, maybe one or two weeks. But most of the time you're only resting or non weight bearing for 48 hours.
