Adhesive Capsulitis
I did a follow up with my Orthopedic doctor yesterday afternoon. Little did I know the son of a bitch was going to tug and pull on my shoulder like there was no tomorrow. He made me CRY!!! I know he had to do what he had to do but damn with such force was uncalled for!!! Yah yah, I’m a big BABY!! I guess my threshold for pain has somewhat diminished over the years…
Sadly, I now have Adhesive Capsulitis..also known as FROZEN SHOULDER. OUCH!!!! And even more sadly is I now need to get a SHOT in my shoulder to prevent it from getting any worse than it already is. This SUCKS! Luckily (if that really matters), it’s only “secondary” because if this was “primary” I would be in more pain and it would take more than a year to heal!! So, ok maybe it is luck then..yah, luck that I injured myself in order to get secondary adhesive capsulitis…more like stupidness on my part for getting injured in the first place. UGH!!!
Thankfully my physical therapist has been helping me…teaching me how to stretch it, to move it in the right way, to not move it so hard and fast where it’ll cause more pain than needed. He called it though; he told me my shoulder was too stiff and he wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up frozen. And he did say the shot will help so go for it and hopefully my movements can be more fluid.
Maybe I should have seen Jon, my Physical Therapist, sooner than when I did..Maybe that would have helped prevent my shoulder from becoming frozen…maybe the doctor’s office should have scheduled my appointment sooner than when they did….just saying!
