  I am over 50 year old male. Who use to live a very active lifestyle.  I am a lieutenant,  and football referee and owner of a Dj, Photo Video company. I referee all year long college,
high school and semi pro. I thought I was going to have to give it all up. The pain in my knees was so unbearable.  Dr. Chun and nurse Taraina made me fill so comfortable.  As they explain the procedure to me. The pros and cons (non). I have bone on bone , and was advised by my orthopedic surgeon that i required knee replacement in both knees. I have had a complete shoulder replacement and it did not go very well, and I just did not want to have surgery. I could barely walk and was in increasing pain all the time. I tried shots, chiropractic adjustments, and medications to no effect.  After completing the procedure I fill like a kid again. No pain!! I would recommend this procedure to all.
