Sounds like you're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.   
I talked to 3 surgeons, and saw several pt.  I lucked out and so far have avoided surgery.   The last guy I talked to at UW said to wait, gave me different stretches and it worked.
He was not a big fan of cortisone shots, felt they can cause tendons to become more brittle. 
I shoot 68lbs, but 60 will more than do the job. 
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

Well....things are getting worse.
The shot is wearing off and the muscle spasms are getting unbareable again.

I have a follow up with the surgeon on the 6th.

Right now I am shooting at 56lb but can hardly shoot more than a half dozen shots without pain.

Hopefully tomorrow I will find a young dumb deer and get it over with.
