Life Time Update............

[disneydream06]

I had my therapy session this morning.
The therapist was a really nice guy.
He had me do some moving more arm around to check things out. His conclusion, he thinks I probably have a bit of a rotator cuff tear. YIKES... Only way to really tell would be an MRI of it. He didn't think it was necessary to jump to that point yet. He wants to try a few weeks of massage type stuff and exercises to see if the shoulder can be loosened up and strengthen the other muscles in it.
So he did some massage and range of motion on the shoulder. Movement seemed easier after that. Not that it lasted a really long time. Then taught me a couple of exercises to work on. Also told me to ice it 4 times a day if possible.
I was actually done and home by noon. YAY...
I got to bed a few minutes after noon. Sadly, I was awake about 2:30 pm. If I can't nap this evening before work, it's going to be a REALLY LONG night. UGH.....................

Ask your PT to give you an ice massage...they are divine!! I wonder if you will be doing some of the same things that I was doing for my shoulder. probably. Hope they get you fixed up faster than me. Shoulder pain sucks!!

If there is a tear, I can't help but think what would things be like if they had looked into this years ago when I first started to have issues with my shoulder. ARGH........

That is what helped my shoulder so much was the massage. Icing it four times a day almost sounds like a full time job :-o

I do hope you got in another sleep, yikes!

Well, I am only suppose to ice it for 15-20 minutes at a time. Just actually doing it is my problem. LOL........

Soooooooo sleepy at work now. :o

Hope you got your nap.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, just a few minutes. :o

[fairy69.livejournal.com]

you didn't get the electrode thingies? They feel SOOO good on the muscles. I am always confused when one minute ice is good for muscles and the next, heat.

Hoping you get sleep!

No electricity, just manual. LOL.............

Glad to hear the therapy helped for a while. How many sessions will you be having?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

He said twice a week for 4-5 weeks. :o

Hope the treatment helps! *hugs*

Thank you. :)
Fingers are crossed tight. :)

A rotator cuff tear? Yikes ... Let's hope physical therapy does the trick. Hoping for the best for you.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly. :o
The thought of surgery and then the costs scare the crap out of me. :o

[ashmedai.livejournal.com]

Sounds like all the stuff I had to do too. It's a PITA, but it was so worth it! I hope you could get a nap! :)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Nap was maybe a couple of minutes. It was a LONG night at work last night. LOL........

[dinky77.livejournal.com]

I hope you are feeling better

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

It's better, but range of motion is still tough for some spots.

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

ice it 4 times/day ?? Good luck with that.
I really wouldn't have the time to do such.

I hope it will heal up soon for you and you're no longer bothered by it

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

I have the time, but it's just stupidity on my part. I sit here and think I should put some ice on it. Then I just never go get it. :p

I hope the therapy does the trick!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

The range of motion does seem better, but then the little movement will get me, and I have to assume that's what is possibly the tear. :o

[merlinwon.livejournal.com]

[thespian15.livejournal.com]
