Dilemma on Stem Cell Trial

Many of the stem cell trials are in phase two now and opening up to more and more patients.  There is even one that I know that takes non-ischemic patients.

My dilemma is that recently, my heart has been very stable and I am able to exercise like I have not been able to for the last two years, but my hips seem to be much worse and I am constant pain now even on "good" days.

It seems hip replacement seems the higher priority.   I am still thinking on this.
