You took the words right out of my mouth (see my last post)!!! I have alot more to do, visit with my local orthapedic expert, continue to work with my prolotherapist, followup testing, and ongoing recovery from the last prolo treatments. I'm in no rush to jump on something new quite yet.

Thanks for all the very helpful responses! Very different from 1986 and 2000 when there wasn't so much info on the internet....

2013-:Switch to prolozone treatments. 2 completed. So far so good....
