I propose a thread honoring old age in which each person lists their current physical ailments and general excuses that prevent them from beating people like Paul Smith and Rich Saeger.
I will lead with a growing list of my own.
1. Shoulder pain
2. Heart palpatations
3. High cholesterol
4. Left hip stress fracture
5. Lower back pain (from shoveling snow!)
6. Wife and 3 kids.
Perhaps we can give an award to the winner and the biggest whiner at the end of this thread.

Fort: Regular MRI
Bill, I hate to tell you this....my doctor told me an arthrogram is really better. It is much more accurate and shows more detail that the MRI could miss. They stick a needle into your shoulder joint/capsule and inject dye. It isn't fun, but it is very accurate. I guess your doctor wanted to do the least invasive first? Maybe he had to "jump through the hoops" of the insurance companies first. A lot of insurance companies require you to do the cheaper, less accurate tests first.....:shakeshead:
