I now go back to a new ortho on Wednesday to see what they have to say. Atleast the neuro was like after a year of frozen shoulder you should be better and something is wrong so lets do an mri. I hope the damage is not permanent.

Hey twiffy maybe we need a trip to Portland with FG to show her all our frozen shoulder exercies. I will say FG that the painful stage of frozen shoulder is freakin painful and its hard to sleep at night.

That part I have already figured out!

My lab, Holly, jumped up on my arm a couple of nights ago and I thought I was going to lose my arm it hurt so bad. I also scared Holly when I screamed from the pain. Poor Holly. She went running from the room with her tail between her legs. It took me about 10 minutes to come down from the ceiling from the pain before I could go looking for her. She had run to the other end of the house and was curled up on her bed in DH's office. I went over to her and sat down and DH wanted to know what happened and if I was OK. Poor Holly. She's ok now.

I am learning about FS. MayoClinic says the pain stage lasts 6-12 weeks...ummm...I think I am long beyond that time frame but could be from the pinched nerve and then frozen shoulder started after that. Dunno. Too much going on at the same time. MS exacerbation, pinched nerve acting up, a little bit of stress in my life...all at the same time.

So, I've had the exacerbation treated. Pinched nerve treated. And the stress ... well, let's just say it's in the process of being taken care of. Sometimes we make business decisions and it takes us a while to realize 1) that we've made a mistake

and 2) to extract ourselves from that situation that won't cause more damage. I've done that. Moving forward, thinking positive!

Ok you two, a Portland trip is definitely in order. When?

I am going to Seattle Feb 18-22. I can tack on a trip to PDX before or after...let me know!

Shappy

I hope the doc figures out what needs to be done to fix your shoulder. We are a mess aren't we? Between us, we have two good arms...and with Twiffy, we have 3! LOL!!!

I just noticed you changed your name back to Shelley! *smack me*
