OT Shoulder Injury - Long
I've been suffering with an injured left shoulder for a couple months
now. I finally gave in and went to my family physican about a month ago. I got the usual meds and told to put it in a sling for a week or so. I did that. Took the meds as directed and the arm started working a little but the pain was still there. I thought I had pulled something and it would heal in a week or two. WRONG!! I've been very frustrated because I can't sew for more than 15 minutes a day. W-e-l-l-l-l went to the doctor this morning. I must tell you my family doctor is a first cousin to Gerald McRaney the actor. He is a natural blond and has the prettiest blue eyes. He gently too my left hand, stretched my arm out and proceeded to make me pee my pants by moving and lifting my arm. He said scar tissue was building up in my shoulder and he had to rip it loose or my shoulder would "freeze" in the present position and I would lose use of it. Oh the pain. He did it again. Got more meds. Funny thing happened the arm was less painful. Was sitting in a Bingo game tonight and reached for an ink pen and felt a pop. The scar tissue that was giving me the most problem finally broke loose. My arm is working, no pain. I think I can finish my DWR now. Its a Christmas present. I am doing the Happy Dance tonight.

Soooooo happy for you, Kate. We'll go wake up the gators and do a Happy
Dance in the Swamp. Normally they don't take kindly to being roused but this is worth the risk. How wonderful. Polly "Kate T." wrote in message oups.com...

Been there, done that. (Well, except for the wet pants and bingo.)
I've never felt such pain in my entire life. Congrats on the 'easy' recovery. Could have been a lot longer and a lot worse. joan Louise wrote: I'm sorry for the pain (and the wet pants!), but glad to hear all is now well.

Owie!!! Poor Kate. I've had "frozen shoulder" a few times. I go to
my dear physical therapist- he's one who believes PT shouldn't hurt. I get an ice pack, some kind of ultrasound thing with heat and very gentle manipulation. It takes an hour appointment 3 days a week for two weeks to fix my shoulder, but I don't have pain with the treatment. Maybe quick and painful is better than slow and taking so long? I'm a BIG chicken, so I'm going with the slow PT method! LOL Glad your shoulder is fixed and you can sew again.... however the "fixing" came about. ;-) Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
