My shoulder

I made a comment about the pain not being too bad last night and today my shoulder has hurt most of the day. I guess that is what I get huh. They have been doing therapy and the doctor has me scheduled for an mri for the sixth because he is still concerned about me being in pain with it being so long. He says now he believes it may be a small tear to my rotator cuff or to a ligament well the er doctor said that to begin with. Sometimes the young doctors really need to listen to the older ones. The therapy helps I guess but it hurts so much when I am doing it and even more so when the sessions are done. one good thing I think one of my therapist is flirting with me he made a point of telling me he was single the other day and had a whole conversation about how hard it is to meet someone in this area. And he is very cute and nice. And I told him my sister teases me because I am 30 and single and have a cat and he was like you are still young and have plenty of time and there is nothing wrong with having a cat. And he has seen me in my bathing suit and I am not a small woman. I am not huge by any means but I am not little. But I think he is flirting with me. Which is okay by me. But anyway the dr said if its a big tear it will not heal and my neighbor said that her husband had to have a surgery do to a large rotator cuff tear. And this is the second time I have injured this shoulder so a tear may be more likely. But workman's comp is paying so that is a good thing.

Oh sweetie, I hope you feel better soon and they get to the bottom of this. PT is a PITA, but it does help. I haven't had problems with my shoulder, but I had to do PT for my back. It hurt like crazy at the time, but it did help in the long run. And good luck with the therapist . Sounds like flirting to me! Is he cute? A cute therapist is THE BEST!

I hurt my shoulder about a month ago, and I'm still in a bit of discomfort - but it gets a little better every day. My internist did say he thought it was a healing, small rotator cuff injury (reading in bed, yet...what an inglorious way to hurt yourself). But, if you're in significant pain for such a long time, MRI is the way to go.

Good luck - even my little one isn't all that much fun.

Thank you guys for your well wishes, and yes he is cute.

I've been to PT several times for several different issues. It bothers me that you're in so much pain during and after your sessions. Maybe you should check with your dr. again.
When I had a severe shoulder strain years ago my chiropractor told me to keep my arm in a sling whenever possible, and not to reach behind myself for anything---like you do when you fasten your bra or put on your coat. Just a thought.
A cute, single therapist who's flirting with you, huh? Hope you're flirting right back!
