I love the practice of medicine. It's all a guessing game isn't it? They can't tell anything for certain and then it's still ahh-maybe. I am in pain. I am not faking it, I have no reason to. I have had sever pain since sunday in my right shoulder and neck and arm, upper back. X rays looked fine. Could be a rotator ciff tear that only would show on mri with contrast. They wanted to give me crtisone shots!!!! No yet says I, I will try the oral stuff first. again.Is there Irony in the fact that I had been on two rounds of prednisone for breathing and when I finished second I lost my voice which guess what? It's coming back now on the prednisone.

The pain is better then it was. Clavical, upper shoulder, electric shots under and behind breasts. I have been doing exercises but he wore me out today with the neuro muscular testing. My right arm only goes to my chest without significant discomfort. I am sick of pain.

I try to be healthy, no I am far from perfect. I don't eat regularly, I am kinown to have a few too many beers, I swim everyday, I move and plan and visit and work and laugh and cry and share. I feel betrayed by this. I feel like the docs are starting not to believe me. It's weird but This ain't just for fun kids.
