Shoulder issue:
 

Okay x-ray shows.

Calcium deposits for lack of the word they used. Suffice to say its not
supposed to be there. And no not taking calcuim will not make it go away.

I had to call and make sure we have insurance before, I could agree tonext steps.

1. Nurse Practioner suggest Physical therapy and then Ortho if that doesn't
work.

2. My husband, and a friend online suggest. But I had already been leaning
towards it.

a. Ortho now, and physical therapy both. Not sure but think that way I
am already started wtih them.

I am not sure what will happen if I need it after March. ugh not the kind
of news I needed.

:circlelove:
I wish that the doc's office had better news.

The dr has a plan to help you. That part is good.

[Just a suggestion I had neck fusion surgery and I have major shoulder issues as well...so from past experience unless its a fracture --xray dont show much as far as real damage. They should be doing a mri.

I got into the Ortho on Wednesday morning. And if I'm rememebering
right this is one of the best Shoulder ortho's in town. So this is good.

He will be able to read the x-ray's and if there is a need for more with
x-rays or mri's or anything then they can do it there. Or sometime
after. And decide if physical therapy or something else.

I'm hoping for a cortisone shot too.

Hi, Donna,

Ugh, I'm having trouble sleeping with this shoulder problem.

I really need to figure out how to solve this part of the problem.

I know its not that easy, but it would be nice to at least a little
more sleep.

1. to do list, new pillow for shoulder and neck area in bed.
2. Ice pack, I think. Something to do with the heat.

Donna my right shoulder is bad so i have to sleep left side with right arm resting on pillow almost bent half way to find comfort to sleep. Hope this helps!!

Hi all

I got a cortisone shot today. And will start PT next week. Will then see how much I can learn to continue the pt at home, along wtih Messages.

I am not sure how well the cortisone shot took, we will see in a couple of days.

Donna:grouphug::hug:

I hope it works for u i know shoulder pain effects everything you do. wishing u the best.

Well the cortisone seems to be working some. Its going to be the next
day or so That i will know.

Hoping for more relief as the days go by.

Donna:grouphug::hug:

well I wasn't feeling good this morning. Had to call Derrick in for off today.

I just couldn't take him today. I also feel bad the one night we had plans
to go somewhere in the evening. I can't take him.

It was a valentines dinner/party with a friend of mine for disabled kids.young adults.

He was really looking forward to it. It was going to take me at least about
1 hr to get there from lafayette and back home then after the thing.
But that was okay. It was going to be fun.

My friend offered to have someone come get Derrick, I wouldn't let her.
I was afraid it would end up being her in the end. And its my friend
with cancer. And I know she shouldn't be trying for one thing.

And I also know how far we are from the dinner.

So we will stay home and figure out a nice dinner for us.

Donna:hug::grouphug:

Dear Donna,

I hope that you feel better today.

Good luck with your dinner.
