Can not a second opinion in the medical field also result in a different assessment of the situation???? I had a MRI of right shoulder requested by my orthopedic surgeon. He looked at the MRI and told me I had severe arthritis along with other issues and need a replacement. Went to a shoulder specialist for a second opinion and his assessment was the degradation of the shoulder was beyond severe. This time there was agreement. Just had X-rays of left wrist and my ortho. referred me to a hand/wrist specialist. Again his assessment is that a replacement/fusion might help but he wanted me to see the same specialist his wife went to.

I wil, say ,as I got older , and moved to where there was less bike clubbiness

the road bike stays on the hooks and I use different bikes at 67.


somebody that is plunking down $5k on a bike needs ego satisfaction about their performance ,

takes those blue stiffie pills and all that.
My $$$$$.00 went to purchase a bike to improve my performance not for ego.
