osteoarthritis
"Have Osteoarthritis in both shoulders. Have received 3 sets of injections over 24 months, 6 months apart with no side effects. Excellent benefit after shot, diminishing proportionally over period. Decided to stop weight lifting after last shot to see what would happen (age 67) and found the pain has not returned. It has been 8 months now and pain level is quite tolerable with NSAIDs. Will start moderate exercise program next week to determine what level will be an acceptable compromise to inactivity."
