Q: stem cell to repair PCL ?

didnt know if i should "ask a doctor" or just post so i decided to just post

im 20, live in SF, CA, and i completely tore my left PCL about 2 years ago.

i was wondering if anyone knows if stem cell research can heal my torn PCL.

im desperate, i want to become a police officer, so bad that i can taste it, but im afraid that my Torn PCL would disqualify me.

does anyone know any good doctors or clinics that specialize in stem cell in san francisco, ca/ bayarea?

thank you,

Stems cells have been used to cure ACL, so I'm sure it would work. Problem is, stem cell research is banned in the U.S., so you would have to find a doctor outside of the country for 10's of thousands of dollars.

Not to mention! The research of using stem cells to cure your injury my not be developed yet.

Conclusion...write back in 10 years.
