@heyjoe415 Hi Joe, I use an anti-rheumatic drug to help with the inflammation, supplemented by Voltaren rub, Tylenol, heat, and braces...some days are really good, others not so much. But all in all, I feel lucky to live in 2025, when there are many options.

Yep, we count a good week when neither of us has a medical appointment! (PT doesn't count - we call that maintenance.) And a year without any surgery is a blessing - one year out from rotator cuff repair, I am happy to say I seem to have full use and 80-90% strength.

Thanks Joe, let's try to hang on to our remaining original parts.
