During that time, I lost @ 25lbs of muscle and put on @ 30lbs of fat and water weight. Although I regained full motion and use of my right arm through therapy, cortisone and plasms injections, my journey took 2yrs to get myself back into the shape I was used to. Aging and slow metabolism is a "undefeated titan". LOL! ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Have you looked into other medical alternatives like peptides or stemcells? I've been doing some light reading on this stuff but can't really find anything conclusive. However, I am holding out hope that with advances in medicine I will eventually be able to have my lower back repaired.
