Fat-derived stem cells are preferred for injections because they're more likely to become cartilage. Recovery ranges from pain-free within a week to significant pain for 2-3 days, with most patients 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.
