Stems cells, a first-hand experience

By now you know all about Bartolo Colon’s career-saving stem cell procedure, though I don’t think any of us really knows what the procedure is like. Thankfully, we have C.J. Nitkowski to tell us. The former Yankee is currently undergoing stem cell treatment for his damaged pitching shoulder, and he recapped the experience at SI.com. He talked about his consultation with the doctors, the actual visit and procedure, the use of HGH, the whole nine. It’s a relatively short read but incredibly interesting, so check it out.
