You are definitely at the top of the game in the pictures. About the pain, Rake took 2 narcotics every 4 hours for 9 years after a head injury. Finally got a new Doc that asked him to take some Methadone to replace the narcs. Scary as shit to try cause we, (me and my kids) made sure he had his meds on time or he was mean as hell. After a week we backed off the narcs and eventually went to half the dose of Methadone. When he started TRT he backed off everything. Much happier spending $250 a month on supps and vitamins than on prescription drugs. Pray for a Doc that can give you a chance at your normal life. PRAY, get a second and third opinion. Rake grew back his Achilles also a couple yrs ago. Don't lose heart go forward.
