Doctor said MRI showed I have advanced Arthritis and no cartilage left in shoulder (bone on bone). He told me my lifting days are over. I'm going to see another doctor to see if I'm a candidate for a Hemi-cap, which may allow me to continue lifting. Please pray for me. I've been lifting now for 37 years and competing in Powerlifting and Strongman (off and on) for almost 20 years. I don't know what I would do if I can't lift anymore. Its who I am. Its what I do.
