More shoulder stuff…
Posted by Lois Anne on 4th May 2008
So after the wedding, my flexpoints are gone, but I only have 3 days left and I’m not going out - I can do it!
Last week I finally went for a physical and talked to the doctor about my shoulder. As I expected, she prescribed physial therapy, and I have an appointment on Thursday. Last week I noticed that when I let my arms hang at my side, my right arm (the bad arm) hangs forward instead of just being at my side. Then this morning while I was swimming, I felt something in my shoulder joint slip. It was a good slip, though - like something slipping back into place. I checked when I got home, and now my arms hang evenly! I hope that means less discomfort for me - at least for a while.
I’m still going to go talk to the physical therapist about it. I’d like to see if he can tell me exactly what’s going on in there, if it can be fixed, and if it’s worth getting fixed. If by ignoring it I’m putting myself at a huge risk - like if I risk losing the use of my arm, or something like that- then I’d like to get it fixed. If it’s just going to continue to be a moderate nuisance like it’s been for the past 27 years, I think I can live with it. We’ll see…
