Okay, didn't see it coming. Another 1/3 cup of fluid had to be drained from my left shoulder before the doctor could put my last cortisone shot in. Ouchy. That's a lot of fluid.
'Course, it will build up again before I get the left one done.

So, yeah, a typical day in the life of us white-collar working stiffs.
I had PT on a shoulder once, and was told to stop if it hurts, not to go beyond pain for range, etc., because that makes the damage worse. Goes against the usual mantra for other trouble spots.Foggy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 8:46 am I have the opposite problem, but we're down to just 17 days, not that anyone is counting. Then I'll have a reset on my right arm, and the left will follow.
Today is going to be a warm spring day in Wilmington, where we're headed in an hour or so. It will be 75° and sunny. Shorts and a t-shirt, my lovely wife and Numbah Two Son, we are bringing supplies to the beach.
Actually, I answered too fast there. That works for me everywhere except my shoulders.
I can relate to that. My shoulders (what there is of them - still getting used to knowing most of the bone is just gone...) are bad enough that I have to take breaks after typing for a bit. I'm have to use a Kindle or tablet to read because actual books tend to be too heavy to hold up enough to read (since I have to stay mostly laying down, I'm can't just lay them book down and look at it.) It's so frustrating to be so limited
Sorry this is long. I tried rewriting it about 5 times, but this was the shortest I could get it :/

OMG Kris!
I’m sorry this happened. I’m also glad to hear you now have a doc who understands your particular issues.
You are incredibly strong![]()
