Thanks Ali. I will probably post something in the next couple of days! I have been reading and the doc gave me a good synposis yesterday.
The nerve block helped a LOT. I got my first good night's sleep last night since mid-November!! Seriously, I slept for about 7 hours! It was wonderful!
Today I went to PT and the PT guy was amazed at how much better he could move my arm. He said he could feel the capsulation, the tenderness, the swelling, and some crackling or noise in my upper arm that we equated to rust on a cable type noise. My elbow pops in certain movements. My pecks are still tender, but not like last Thursday. The muscle under my armpit is still untouchable as before so there is definitely something going on there.
He did an ultrasound treatment and electric stimulation along with some light stretching exercises, and some light traction on my neck.
I am making progress. It's not taking me 2 hours to get dressed, but the bra is still a challenge! LOL!
I've lost 5 pounds!
