There is a process afoot which means things are starting to go downhill for you. From reading your account, I guess you're male and getting pretty close to age 40. Am I right? Accept some limitations, and you should be back to a generally active life in three months.

IT has been said you may never recover fully. However my mom plays tennis now and does so well. She just has to put a strap on every time. If you get tennis magazine then, read the August or september issue as one of those had an article on that. It may have been before august but it was 07! My mom has had it for about a year.
