Mesenchymal stem cell. is this a potential treatment or cure for chronic rheumatoid arthritis patient in the 70s suffering from it for 30+ years?

No: After 30+ years of arthritic degeneration the bone deformity and articular degeneration have progressed well beyond any hope of salvage via stem cell therapy.

Treatment Possible: Cure unlikely. Several patients with rheumatoid arthritis have been treated with the Regenexx Stem Cell Therapies. Did all get relief, unlikely but some did. Depends on everyone and what medications you are on or how severe your RA is. Check out Regenexx.Com to see if this is helpful for you.
