   I have had some wrist and elbow issues for a time. I can take the recoil of the AMP or the TC but next day, Oh Boy!
I was examined by a hand surgeon today and he thought it was tendinitis of wrist and medial elbow ( Golfer Elbow). So I typing this after and injection into my elbow and wrist. 
This getting old stuff is tough on you as my patients tell me.
Hopefully, this will cure the problem without cutting.
Have a good 4TH !!!!

	I know what you mean, I'm still dealing with my knee. Got my second shot of Ortho-visc yesterday, and get the last one next Wednesday. Then we will see if it is going to work.
	If you can't have fun doing it, then don't do it.

	I guess that it's going to be my turn next week. I still can't use my shoulder, my doctor looked at it this week and told me that it looked as it was not set in the right place. I will be seeing an orthopedic in a few days; will see what happens. Max

	Max It sounds like you either separated your shoulder or you have a tear in your rotator cuff. Try and find an ortho that does alot of shoulders and get a MRI. If you lived closer, I would do it for free. Tell tale sign of a tear is if you cannot lift your arm above your shoulder without pain. This requires surgery, 6 weeks in a sling, and about a month of rehab. Good Luck Gerry, MRI Tech for 22 yrs.
