Went to my shoulder doctor today. They took x-rays of my shoulders and did ultrasounds of my shoulders. Apparently they were looking for arthritis. They said I have nice "young" shoulders, and they didn't see any signs of arthritis on the x-rays or the scans. They did see some swelling in the bursa of my shoulders, and they looked at my elbow that I hurt. They said that I have a combination of residual pain/inflammation from frozen shoulder, and the walkers I've been using are irritating things because I put my weight on the walkers with my arms. (they called it "walker shoulder". Kind of like tennis elbow and maybe a little tendinitis in the shoulder too)
I did get a nice shot of cortisone in the bursa of my left shoulder. (yay!)
