NOTE: There is a mail delivery problem here in GA. Mail is running 2months longer to send & receive.
Thank you all for your Prayers. 5/2 MRI sez I have a torn rotator cup & a Frozen Shoulder. No Surgery, just more Physical Theraphy.
4/17 Epidermal Shot in back did nothing. Cannot get into see Dr. for Shoulder until May. So, I am in limbo right now. I do take an occasional pain pill so I can sleep.
4/8 Shoulder cortisone shot in shoulder has worn off. Tomorrow is Epidermal shot in lower back. I have to get up at 5:30 am to be there on time. Still doing my daily physical therapy to strengthen my legs.
3/28 Yesterday X-rays on shoulder. Got a cortisone shot in shoulder. It was some relief for my shoulder & I can use my right arm. But have been scheduled for MRI on just my shoulder.
I will be getting Epidural shot in my back 9 April. Than back to the Arthritis Specialist.
3/6 Started physical therapy on my back/sciatica & legs. I have appt 27 March for my right shoulder. It seems the Bronchitis set things in motion- I seriously coughed for 3 weeks. Back hurts, legs are cramping & I fell twice last week. I have an MRI scheduled for 19th. Don't know right now if it is bones (Orthopedic) or Fibromylgia/Arthritis or any combination. Going to a Arthritis specialist 14th. Annoyed that Drs are specializing. So, it will be 3 Drs trying to diagnosis. I will not just them "Medicate". Find the source of the problem & will fix it!
I was sick since 27 Dec 2023 thru 13 Jan 2024. Broncholitis. First time sick since 2020.
