Good Bio. I enjoyed getting to know you. thanks for sharing. I am 72. Not getting any easier. When I was getting diagnosed I made 3 different visits to orthopedic Dr. thinking they were missing something. The last one was pretty good. He ordered the MRI and told me he thought I had an auto immune disease to see a Rheumatologist. He gave me a cortisone shot in both shoulders and it did help for about 2 weeks. But he told me that he would only give me one shot. He said the shots can deteriorate the joint. I had a small slap tear in the right shoulder. He said that he would do the stem cell injections for $400 shot but no more cortisone. Just FYI. I got a laugh out of taking care of your body when younger. We came out of the 60's. My wife got hepatitis B from smoking a joint with her girlfriends. I had to get the shots. I never caught it. I wasnt much of pot smoker. But I did my fair share of drinking. I dont do anything anymore.
