One thing I do remember doing that helped was when I was in the shower and my shoulder was warmed up, I would try some overhead stretches.
That's what I've been thinking...I will go and check out an official diagnosis with my doc, but if all they're going to do is force me to move it in ways that are painful, I can pretty much take care of that on my own! :lol:
I know it's past time for me to go in when I say "ouch". I've been refered to as "a tough old bird", but in reality, I'm a wimp. It takes a LOT for me to feel pain, I just don't feel it like most folks do...but when it does hurt, I'm and SO down for the count! I had a ruptured appendix, didn't know it for days...it didn't hurt at ANY time, even with prodding and poking! My gallbladder was infected, had stone the size of a golfball...never felt it UNLESS I ate something like beans, or brocolli that causes gas, and I had on tight jeans....that's the only time it hurt.
My left arm has brought me to my knees a couple of times now, and it's starting in my right arm now too....guess it's time to go... Thanks everyone!
