welcome to the boards. looks like we are in the same area...

hey ang,

i pm'd you (i think) it was my first time so i hope i did it right. if you get it will you pm me back? i too had a bone spur and a tendon debrided and i think i also had acromioplasty(can't remember now it's been three years) how long after your surgery were you diagnosed? did you have trouble with frozen shoulder? i am about an hour north of you. i should have told you where i lived when i pm'd you but forgot, i am having a lot of trouble with memory and organizing my thoughts! also have insomnia which doesn't help. took lunesta last night for the first time and it definitely DID NOT work. so i guess i wasted $120.00 i hate it when i can't sleep cuz i sit there and worry and smoke lots of cigs(i know how bad that is) i also end up taking more pain pills cuz i'm awake longer. it's a no win situation. xanax definitely works but my dr. doesn't want to give it to me. i'm so sick of stupid drs. sorry, don't know how i got going on this rant anyway, hope to hear from you soon. sounds like we have lots in common! jen
