Since 2002 Ive been going back & forth to the doctor(not as aggressively as I should have) because I have a knot on my right shoulder where the bone is clearly displaced. I have numbness 75% of the time which is not good for a person who drives and climbs poles for a living! The other 25% I have pain! I cant reach behind my back with that arm along with other limitations. The 1st doctor took an X-Ray then told me it was like the because I was thin! But to pacify me he gave me a cortisone shot, which worked for a lil while! 2nd doctor did an X-Ray and told me there was nothing wrong with my shoulder! 3rd doc sent me for a ct scan of my NECK & then referred me for physical therapy for my neck!!!! When I say I was so discouraged that I just gave up and dealt with my symptoms over the years. 2 months ago I woke up in so much pain I had to go tk the doctor! Thank god I did! I finally found someone who actually listened and I FINALLY got an MRI of my shoulder. Initially the doctor was going to do surgery but decided to send me to physical therapy 1st. When I went for my physical therapy the doctor doing my evaluation told me that I was in the early stages of frozen shoulder and if I didnt get treatment soon I could lose all use of my right arm and that if the doctors wouldve done an MRI years ago I wouldnt be in this situation! I know this was a long one but my reason for sharing this is to tell you even when the doctors keep telling you theres nothing wrong with you you have to be very aggressive with them, because you know your body than anyone!
