I saw the ortho doc again today. Still in a lot of pain. I got some relief from the steroid injections (one in my neck last week and one in my shoulder on Dec 30th) but it ain't over yet.

I have an EMG scheduled for Thursday.

Ortho doc says I can probably have another steroid shot in my shoulder in two weeks.

Until we get the results of the EMG, not much else can be done til then.

He said if it doesn't show anything and the steroid shot doesn't help, then I am looking at some type of surgery. Great.

My neuro is concerned about the brain MRI. I picked up the scans on disk for her today and should have something back from her soon.

Why can't anything with me ever be simple?!?
