I understand about seeing on film just what is going on. It is a shock. I looked at my cervical spine stacking oddly on top of each other crooked and out of place as could be. All I could do is cry, knowing what I faced. I am so sorry for the pain and trouble in your shoulder. Is there anything that can be done besides medication? Is this something that has hope of recovery? Surgery, therapy, blocks? It is no fun to be in that kind of pain. I wish you all the best. ginnie
