I have to tell you that they also said if there were lesions in that area there was nothing they could do anyway. The MRI was just to confirm if a lesion was responsible.
Anyway, Jim has lesions in his brain but they are not lit up. That's awesome news to us. The neuro said they are lesions that are non-active. I hope yours are the same. From what I have always understood, developing lesions is not good but it's worse if they are lit up like a light bulb.

Lesions are not responsible for this pain. That we know. I love solving puzzles but I think this ortho doc is getting a little frustrated but I do like him.
The two different surgeries he mentioned don't sound like a walk in the park, tho.
Subacromial decompression surgery or biceps tenodesis
They both sound horrid! He did tell me to take the pain meds and stop pushing myself! Me??? Huh? Looking around the room thinking maybe there was someone else there! Nope.
I have started wearing the sling again so I won't use my arm...IT HURTS!!
I am getting ahead of myself. Must wait for EMG results.
