@Holly Saunders @Chrissy Cross ..thank you. She will be fine... It was her spouse whoms mother was in the horrible accident and lost her sister and best friend bsck on Memorial Day.
Peak......wife's sinus cold is getting better. Pit......engine light came on on the truck. Took to Midas this AM. Neither of us have got our Senior Double Dose Flu Shot yet, be will definitely be getting it really, really soon. She has to get over this sinus cold first.
Pit...had a mammogram scheduled for 3:00 pm Peak: just got a call to reschedule for Friday at 11:00am. That's a much better time for me.
Pit : I have had a Lung test appointment set for the last month for tomorrow... tonight the surgery called and cancelled it, and can't fit me in until the 5th of December Peak : Some new heat pads for my shoulder tendinitis arrived today ( not really a peak )... but at least they'll help...
I have shoulder tendinitis and since I started the therapy it seems my shoulder doesn't hurt as much and not every day either. Doing the PT mainly for the frozen arm and that's so much better and mainly because of the massage I think. My shoulder hurt every single day, no matter what I took or did and I just noticed that it's not been hurting or not as much. I also don't know what is working for it...massage, exercise, or the tens machine and ice ...maybe all 3. Still ha e a ways to go with the range of motion with my arm, especially reaching behind my back but I can comb my hair without pain now...yay.
I have tendinitis in Both shoulders...it's agonising. there's so much I can't do. Can't put my own coat on without help... agony to brush my hair. So .. painful to wash my hair in the shower... can't even scratch my back if I have an itch because I simply can't put my arms behind me...and I cant dry any part of the back of my body after a shower.. Can't reach under a base cupboard for anything Driving is Painful too..I find the only way I can drive without squealing with pain is to thread the steering wheel through my hands ( like we were taught when we were first learning)...to try and minimize the movement in my shoulders. driving a manual ( which is usual in the Uk automatics are not popular here)... make it so much worse having to change gear... I wouldn't mind so much if that was all that's wrong with me but currently I have several medical problems all at the same time, and some days I don't know which way to turn with the pain coming from all angles...
Mine is mild compared to yours Holly!! Nothing worse than constant pain....feel for ya! I don't even know why or how my arm froze to the point it did, just happened.
@Holly Saunders I'm really sorry to hear you are having so many health problems at this time. That is very stressful. Do y'all have Physical Theraphy over there that maybe could help your tendinitis too?
Thank you @Babs Hunt it is very stressful, and more so because I've gone from being a very active person just months ago to a shadow of that and unable to even carry out the most basic of tasks . Having just retired 4 months ago, I was expecting to be able to do so much, but instead the last 4 months have been spent in pain and I've spent 90% of my time at home, which is driving me crazy. , yes we do have pt here, but tbh it's not a lot of help. I find that by using exercise specifically for shoulder tendinitis from online Videos , and buying my own equipment to use at home, is more beneficial... and less costly... £50 an hour here for PT, for the same exercise I can do at home... Anyway, i thank you all for your kindness, and to the gentleman poster who sent me an email with great exercise suggestions, thank you very much it's all muchly appreciated ... ..but I don't want to turn this thread into a pity party for me... so thank you all again...
This is where I go, it was a referral by my dr. http://www.myterrio.com/index.php I have no idea what it costs though...I have a $10 copay and insurance pays the rest. Insurance has approved 12 sessions so far. Today will be my 5th one.
trouble is we have the NHS...so our medical is free , which means long waiting lists ..so to see an NHS PT would tkae around 3 months for a 15 minute appt and then another 3 months for the next one...absolutely useless ( I had the same problem with the herniated lumber discs in my back)...so in cases like this we have to pay out of pocket for a Private practitioner, so we can have as many sessions as we need but it's very expensive..
