I saw the ortho doc today and he gave me another steroid shot in the right shoulder. Should alleviate some pain for a few days.

He and I went over the last round of MRIs, the EMG, and talked a bit about the appt I had with the Rehab/pain mgmt doc. Evidently these two guys have known each other for quite sometime and have fun with each other! I caught on real quick and got in a punch or two! I like them both and think they are both good docs.

Anyway, the ortho doc gave me an RX for PT and will chat with the Rehab doc and see me again in a month. At that time, after I've had some PT, seen the Rehab doc, we will reassess and see if I need another shoulder MRI with GAD to determine the stage of the frozen shoulder and whether or not to up the neurontin, administer the nerve block, continue with the PT or shoot me.

I start PT next week if the paperwork goes through smoothly with Tricare.

For now, I am sticking with the 300mg of neurontin. I cannot take this drug during the day. It definitely makes me drowsy. Geez, what a lightweight I am with meds! Right now, I wake up in the morning feeling like I have a hangover. I cannot continue like this. I need some pain relief.

It's a good thing I am unemployed now.
