No: There are a lot of issues regarding your osteoarthritis that are not clear at this point. You need to discuss with your physician your question but in general this is not available except as an investigative tool at this time.

Many Options: There are many different options for stem cell therapies in the US. I would suggest you evaluate all of them thoroughly before choosing. So far the only Physician Network that has significant research and patient base regarding stem cell therapy is the Regenexx Stem Cell Network. They have treated over 10,000 patients in their registry with pretty good results. Check out Regenexx.Com.
