RE: [IP]shoulder pain
I had xrays done on both shoulders last week. If I can at least get some idea
of what's going on I can see what type of PT I can learn, to deal with the
specifics. Because of my lack of insurance it's hard for me to get into any
specialists. I do have Ca MIA state insurance, but it isn't good. Just a doc
visit every 3 months, an A1C, they don't treat people with Insulin pumps and
are considering canceling me now because I use a pump. For example, in Dec 08
I fell and cracked 2 vertebrae. I just just walked slowly until I could get
into PT. Due to MIA I didn't get into PT until Oct 09. That's 10 months after
the injury. It was only 4 PT appointments then I needed approval again,
probably another 3 month wait. So getting in for an MRI will be like waiting
in line at a store that closed permanently. LOL

I fell and had severe pain when moving my shoulder. The MRI showed the
rotator cuff was torn through. Did you have an MRI? The surgery is
painful, but I've not had any problems with my shoulder since it was done.
You should go to an orthopedic doc who specializes in shoulders. I am so
glad I had the surgery. It wasn't related to my diabetes; well, maybe the
fact that I injured it at all may have been, but once it was torn it had no
relation to the diabetes. It doesn't sound to me like you have tendonitis;
you need to see someone who knows about shoulders.

Why did you have rotator cuff surgery? I ask because several years ago I
passed out at work (low BG) I was alone at 1am working in a machine shop.
When
I fell I hit a large metal stand with my shoulder. Ever since I have had
pretty bad pain when trying to throw a baseball with my daughter. Skipping
rocks on the water, sometimes just stretching. My doc recently told me I may
have tendinitis not only in the one shoulder but both. She said my fall
probably aggravated an already existing condition. Probably Diabetes related
was her diagnosis. Is this common amongst us? It occasionally causes me to
reel in pain for the simplest movement. Most of the time I just deal with
the
minor discomfort though.
