I have an appointment with my Orthopedic Surgeon regarding my back today, and the Epidural that didn’t work this time. I can’t do anything else about my back right now, as I am having surgery to repair tears in my Rotator Cuff. Yes, you read that right, TEARS. Not a happy camper at all, as I have had this surgery on my other shoulder and I know how horrible the recovery is.

I’ll pray that you get good information today CB! I hope it’s something that can easily be corrected!

Ouch, you poor thing. You have lots going on all at once. Let us know how your appointment goes.

How long is the recovery for the shoulder surgery? Seems to be any joint that moves always has a long recovery time. And it sure is hard to have one arm working at a time.

I don’t think I told you, and physical therapist and I figured out I probably don’t have cubital tunnel. I never had numb fingers. I never had any laws of motion and my fingers or a tight feeling in those two fingers. But I had with tingling in my forearm and my index finger was tight, but after getting a deep massage on my arms those went away immediately. I think my muscles were just tightening Around my intersection syndrome and radial tunnel syndrome surgery sites,causing those weird symptoms. So the therapist thinks it is golfers elbow, Tendinosis which builds up over lots of time.

I’m actually relieved. Nerve impingement scares me. So the surgery center and immobilization of my wrist means I may not be able to move it again. My intersection sunroom is still pretty bad and my wrist tightens up if I don’t stretch it every day.

Probably too much information! That’s what happens when I get to dictate, I ramble.

Prayers your way as well Sissy. Let’s keep in touch about how it goes today for both of us. I hope your doctor has another idea to relieve your pain. I was very disappointed when my Cortizone shot did nothing so I know how you feel :-(
