Default Confused, Scared you name it!

Hey, my first post, but i really need some answers, or some helpful hints.

The story goes as: August tenth 2009 i hurt my shoulder at work, silly me i waited two weeks to go see the doctor about it. When i finally did, i had hardly any range in my rotary cuff. so i have been going to physiotherapy since september 28th, my range is some what fully back, amongst physio there is aquatic therapy that i have been doing.
just the last month or so i have been having some pinched nerve issues so the therapist sent me to a upper extremity clinic to see what they had to say. and i have nerve issues in c8-t1 area. and anyways they say that my rotary cuff has a lil tear in the tendon, nothing to worry about it will heal in time, tendonitis in my elbow which the swelling has caused some pinched nerves there , down to my pinky and ring finger. and in his words " As a sugeon i have no clue why your shoulder blade is having pinched nerve and pain issues, that is not in my field" so now off to another doctor soon. they mentioned trigger point injections, i read up on them, but is it always a on going thing, or will it end, i mean if i have to keep going then is it really working?
Im just confused, this has been going on so long, therapy every day of the week, everything is driving me crazy. work is really dissapointed in my present status. i need this to be over soon.

so any ideas at all on how to cope with all this and what i should really do, will be appreciated

thanks
