My ongoing shoulder problems..

[carole]

Oh dear it sounds very similar to mine,there is also a problem with my tendon,I am not happy,yes I get cranky and depressed too,one has had enough,yes surgery is not really an option for me I am told because of the complications from having fibromyalgia ,shoulder problems are also hard to fix apparently,yes Donna I so regret having gone to the trip for what was supposed to be a fun time,I wish I could turn back the clock,I also get frustrated not being able to do simple things,I am lucky I have a hubby to do things and help,but he really has enough to do without taking on my jobs around the house.

It will not be a quick fix,that I do know,already been three months of constant pain,it hurts to do anything I find,even trying to put your clothes on.

I feel for you too Donna,know exactly what you are going through,thinking of you and hoping we both get some relief soon and on our way to recovery ,may I ask how you hurt yours? I am also right handed and yes my right shoulder too.

Donna are you eligible for any home help,things are very different in NZ,we have ACC. Here which luckily pays for a lot of my treatment, physio is subsidized ,I still pay 15 dollars a treatment,but my sports doctor will be free,and if I was on my own like you,I could get free home help,even with the allowances given it has still cost me a few hundred so far,as my meds are expensive as I cannot take voltaren pills and the like as plays havoc with my stomach,cannot tolerate them,I am not taking them anymore as did not help very much and they cost like four dollars a pill.
