They said that somehow the blood supply is cut off. I asked if it had anything to do with the accessory nerve thing and he said no. They are going to do a procedure called core decompression where they drill a few holes into the bone in hopes that when it repairs itself it will establish new blood supply to the dying bone. I am at stage 2 AVN which means it does not show up on an x-ray. The MRI clearly shows a density change at the humeral head. (shoulder)
The sooner you have it done the better. Getting old sucks! |

I meet with the Physiatrist this week, so I'm hoping they schedule the EMG soon so I know what the plans will be for treatment. Also, they prescribed a topical cream that consists of Ketamine, Cyclobenzaprine, Diclofenac, Gabapentin, Orphenadrine & Tetracaine. It's mixed by a compounding Pharmacy and does seem to help with the pain. Not sure if you have already tried something like this? Yeah, it's hell to get old! |

My appointment is tomorrow, I'll let know you know how it goes. Unrelated to this issue, I found out today I have a torn meniscus in my knee that will require surgery. Not sure how this will work into everything else going on. |
