Rat, Tiny, Habs - Thanks guys. Was wondering if I went too far with the joke. I have been a professional for many years and only retired this past October and I should know better than to let something so insignificant get to me like that. I am sorry fellas.
IKW - I am on the stretching exercises. They do help to some degree, the steriod pills helped a lot and I have hope that the injections will be even better. Heat, especially before the exercises seems to help alot. Will try the cold packs. Can't hurt anything. Still exploring the options. It is my understanding that they have really advanced in the surgical area also, if it comes to that. Thanks for your input, I will explore all posibilities before the knife. Injections have helped with my heal spurs, so I have high hopes in that area. I suspect the golf has brought all this on and with luck, when it gets under control, proper exercises will prevent another problem like this. Golf, RVing, and smoking is the life I want as my retirement job and as a general rule I manage to achieve my goals.
