I will give you another view.

My shoulders are shot, 12 yrs carpenter in the days when we used framing hammers and finish hammers. 36 yrs as a Chiropractor, not much different than swinging a hammer except sideway motion with rotational movement which tears up rotator cup muscles faster. Add to the fact that over 40 yrs ago , a climbing fall tore my right shoulder out of its socket.

Keep the deltoid muscle complex strong has been my motto for along time. Anyway, gave up overhead stuff along time ago but in the last 2-3 yrs, my right shoulder, the worst one was in level 7 pain 24/7. Pain beats you down not movement.

This January, I said enough is enough, I got a stem cell injection in my right shoulder and 4 months later, I am not sorry, I am amazed. My constant pain is gone, I can now work over my head and can now sleep on that shoulder. Do I have pain still? yes, at a 1-2 level. Am I happy with the results, yes, just for the fact that I still have my parts that I was born with still around, no metal.

Would I do it again, in a heartbeat. Next week am leaving for a 3 week vacation sailing into BC. When I return, my knees will get the stem cell injections.

I hope this helps you in your future plans and if you have any questions, you know how to get in contact with me.
