Just a tip, move up in poundage slowly even if you have previously shot with 37#. Especially since you have a previous injury and learning a new type of shooting.
You will only gain more down the road by taking it slow.

I will recently be stepping up my poundage with a new bow. I used to shoot 25 pounds longbow and now 32 horse bow for about a year without an issue. I wanna step up to a 45 horsebow, do you think that's eise or too big of a gap?

Maybe you need more workout at the gym before using such heavy bow
