Btw a Year later Richards needed TJ anyway. In some cases it has worked (tanaka), but in many cases it seems like conservative treatment only delays TJ by a few months.

I agree that many 'conservative' treatments like PRP and exercise likely only delay the problem. But, umbilical/marrow stem cell injections are totally different, in that new cells are created and the muscles/ligaments heal themselves. Think of how your skin heals itself when you get a cut.

I imagine that a complete tear couldn't be fixed except with TJ, but I don't know.

Note: I am not a doctor, but I play one on blogs.
