OUCH!

Sad story of the month… So for about a year I have been battling some shoulder and back problems. Within the last month it has gotten pretty bad and the pain has seemed to get worse and worse everyday. So after a week long headache I finally decided to go to the doctor. I was referred to an orthopedic specialist by a friend and after some x-rays and examinations we found that I have rotator cuff tendonitis that without physical therapy can result in surgery!  I received a cortisone shot and instructions to attend physical therapy 3 times a week for the next 4 weeks. We are hoping this works and we can avoid surgery if at all possible. So ladies and gentleman the moral of this story… DO NOT wait as long as I did to see a doctor if you are in pain because I tell ya those cortisone shots are not as great as they are cracked up to be! Cross your fingers and pray for a happy physical therapy outcome!
