I WANT ONE NORMAL DAY IN MY LIFE, PLEASE, JUST ONE NORMAL DAY!! The day started with an appt with my dermatologist. 6 month check up. He took a look at the spot in front of my right ear where I had a basal cell removed 2+ years ago and didn't like the looks of it so he biopsied it. It has been frozen off twice and excised once. He says if it comes back positive, I get to have MOHS. Great. Then he finds a new suspicious mole on my back. Great, another biopsy. Then on to PT. Fill out paperwork, PT guy looks over my 4 MRIs, does a pretty thorough exam of my arm and hmmm...pretty hypersensitive, are we? Yep. Looks a little swollen. I also see quite a bit of atrophy. Doesn't really fit with FS or impingement. But let's see what kind of range of motion you have after we put some heat on it. Ok. Then he massaged it a bit and didn't really find any capsulation (or whatever) and didn't find the usual signs of impingement although he did feel an obvious muscle tightening -- non-movement at a point. My arm simply would not move beyond a certain point. 5 degrees forward, zero degrees away from my body, zero degrees up and zero degrees back. I have a long way to go! Anyway, he is thinking RSD and is going to talk to the two docs that are treating me before I go back to see him on Thursday. Great. Somethng else to research!
