Stop seeking advice online for medical conditions. We are not doctors although I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

Find another doctor.

Amen! Amen! Amen! Do not take any medical advice from people on a message board. You will have been diagnosed with fourteen diseases before post #100. Go to a doctor.

I agree - BUT....

Had even worse symptoms when I was 55 - x-rays and best shoulder orthopedic doc in town didn’t know what it was. I was convinced I had torn rotator cuff.

He sent me to Physical Therapist, saying, “the PT will tell us what it is....” What’s wrong with this picture?

The PT, in about 1 minute, said, “Oh - you have frozen shoulder....easy to fix! But it will be very painful - and take a month or so.”

She was correct, in 40 days I was fine - but it hurt like he** to get there.

I often will go to a PT before a doc - amazing what they know and can do.

Interestingly, 2 years ago I did tear my rotator cuff in same shoulder (MRI results) - when 69. Refused surgery or therapy after seeing what my brother and others went through in 6 mo. recovery.

Asked God to heal me - He did. Shoulder is fine today.
