[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 226254, member: 43589"] Tell you a story [USER=43256]@andrewBwinter[/USER].....much of these problems are old age and genetics. My father had surgery at 79 for low back problems similar to mine. His osteoarthritis had gotten so bad the vertebrae were crumbling. My brother had it at a much younger age. He was completely disabled and we constantly fed Opioids. My dad never recovered from the surgery and eventually died my brother was not only addicted to opioids but had also become an alcoholic trying to mask the pain. He eventually committed suicide and died the year after my dad died. I have much more pain that either of them had as my knee, and both shoulders are also in pain. My doctors are completely amazed that I was ever able to powerlift much less continue lifting up until today. They are also amazed that I have tolerated the pain this long. I had to retire from my job as a football coach because I could no longer tolerate standing up for so many hours, It got where I could hardly make it through a football game so they put me in the booth.
