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

I'm sorry for the pain (and the wet pants!), but glad to hear all is now
well. Who woulda' thunk Bingo could heal you?

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.
