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.

Hmm - not for sure what it might be, but I wanted to let YOU know that I care, for I too suffered from constant pain due to my RA and Bursitis, and most recently Ovarian Cyst.
Hang in there.... (((( comfort ))))


LoVe,

Pat, MS. Texan, Man if I had a gun my husband would get it or I would!! I woke up with severe pain again and was lying with a wet towel around my arm and shoulder with a heating pad. I told my husband that he would need to watch the little one as the girls were going shopping for college stuff. He threw a fit. So I convince the girls that they can take the little one and Dad could stay home. He wasn't happy with this either. He told me that he though I just took too many drugs and they made me depressed and want to lay in bed. I was so angry I got out of bed, dressed and went with everyone, he wouldn't even stay home. I had soken to the on call doc and had been trying everything I could. I have even taken Motrin AND asoirin today along with flexeril and tylox.My stomach does not handle the antiinflamitories well so ask me about my tummy?

Well, I went, I was in pain but didn't know what was to come. I got in a wheel chair because even carrying the weight of the arm and shoulder in the sling was too much and I had my daighter's sweater umdner my arm as well. Finally I had to admit to the girls I was dying and had to go lie down in the car. I can;t even adjust the thing to lay the seat down as it's on the right.

So I am home now, my pain has been off hte chart but the heating pad "now that it's not burning me, is helping, along with more tylox, laying down and taking more flexeril. I am in pain and I am angry and spiteful with the doctors and my spouse. This is not your regular old pain. I can't even drive myself to the e.R, again, I am NOT calling an ambulance. Geez I just hope I can manage. I cried and cried when I first layed down. That darned doc who did all of the testing yesterday set me up for this. typing is killing me so I am learning to be left handed. Crap on a stick, who does he think took care of sick kids when I myself was ill, or in labor, or migraine. Love the comforting I am getting. As it was he wouldn't let us watch the little one, he insisted.
I am in pain and I am pissed. Maybe I should have someone get me a six pack of beer to go with the drugs and see how beligerant I can become?

I am in Pain dam it all! in this day and age and to feel like I am not being believed!
