    Just keep an eye on it. If improvement stops, I'd head to the neurosurgeon since you've tried other treatment modalities. You don't want to end up in the position I'm in looking at a year's recovery with no guarantee the strength will come back.

    Noticing an improvement week by week is pretty dang good. I have my fingers crossed it continues!
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Ive been there to many times to count in the past where I was told I would not be able to do this or that again. Those are fighting words and just make you work that much harder. I had to decide if I was going to be an confined to a wheelchair or walker for the rest of my light or fight my way back. That was 15+ years ago. Ive also had 2 failed arthroscopic surgeries to my left shoulder and 1 failed total shoulder replacement over the last 8 years. Finally got it right last March and still recovering but not giving up. I dont expect to get back to where I was in my 20 or even 40s but I plan on being better than I was in most of my 50s.
