Pat, this is what worked for me. Background in my 20s, I injured my lower back, nearly breaking my neck, and by 50, I had chronic lower back pain. My fingers started showing mild arthritic symptoms, and at 52 damage knee cartilage in one knee caused constant but moderate pain.
A few years ago, I did my first five-day fast, during day 3-5 while in ketosis took senolytics—200mg of Dasatinib with 2000mg of Quercetin, it made the fast even less enjoyable however post-fast, my finger arthritis disappeared.
However, my back and knee were very problematic for me. I tried various treatments like HGH injections, hyperbaric therapy, Cartalax peptides, red light therapy, all of which I think helped a bit to keep things stable.
Counter intuitively what I didn’t find helpful was prolotherapy or exercise. Prolo did nothing, exercise seemed to aggravate things.
June 2023 I got my hands on Pentosan, I injected it deeply into my knee joint, with my lower back I injected it using a ½ needle as deep as it would go into and all around the trouble area, within 2 days in both regions it extinguished a lot of the pain. I repeated this about four times over several months. Pentosan is definitely worth while.
Later in 2023 after watching all of Dr. Ed Parks’ youtube videos on MSC placental exosomes, I was able to source some. I Injected them into my knee and lower back, in the same fashion. I noticed an immediate improvement— in fact my back pain disappeared the following day, 100 percent, almost like a miracle, and my knee felt like it was healing. This lasted a few months, then the pain eventually started to return, each time in a milder form, and each time I just used more exosomes.
Currently, I am convinced my knee is fully healed. My fingers are good.
Occasionally, my back gets slightly sore, the last time that happened I applied a small dosage of exosomes mixed with DMSO topically and that has done the job, I have been pain free for months now.
