 to live the rest of my life in pain that was intolerable. Sandy's hip and knees were causing her severe pain. I'm a middle school teacher and just walking, doing the things that, you know, you're supposed to do was impossible. So she went looking for help. And I'd gone to doctors and they said, well, you know, you need a hip replacement and then do your knees. Nothing else you can do. But Sandy knew there was another option. So she reached out to Dr. Mark Wagner, MD at Seattle Sports and Regenerative Medicine for stem cell therapy.
