Update on my shoulder situation for those who are asking: As I updated after my MRI, I have several tears in my shoulder, including a SLAP tear. My orthopedic doctor said he cannot do surgery until I complete six weeks of PT on record & receive another round of steroid injections, since that is what insurance requires. (I have already been doing PT at home with a physical therapist off the record, so I don't have much hope in that.) I've also been taking the prescribed NSAID. He also tried to diagnose me with frozen shoulder, but I told him that wasn't accurate since I am instinctively resisting movement because of the excruciating pain. When I asked him to let me relax for a minute instead of moving my arm right away, he did. My arm/shoulder isn't frozen, it's just in pain, but I can move it. I received another corticosteroid injection. It helped a little for about two weeks last time...🤷🏼♀️ Not a good doctor visit, tbh. Hope you guys are having a blessed day.
@SpringSteps Oh Mandy! I hate that your appointment was not very productive. The medical-insurance system is so broken. 🙏🏽
@SpringSteps Sorry to hear that you’re in so much pain. I have just the remedy for you. A Feast of Trumpets rapture!!!
@SpringSteps I'm not sure what is available in the area where you live but I was helped greatly with Prolotherapy injections, unlike steroid injections that break down the tissues, Prolo causes your body to repair the damage and heal itself. It really helped my lower back & shoulder a lot.
@SpringSteps Physical therapy almost seems counterintuitive. Possibly cause more damage. Shouldn’t that be done AFTER surgery?
@SpringSteps Praying you can find the treatment you need!
@SpringSteps I’m not a doctor (disclaimer) but I highly recommend that you research Plasma Platelet Treatment instead of Cortisone injections.
@SpringSteps Hoping for quick recovery! Praying for this!
@SpringSteps Sorry to hear that, my husband and I will continue to pray
@SpringSteps Well, all that remains is to pray for God to heal you. Have you asked the church to pray for you, especially when you are in worship?May God bless you greatly and heal you.
@SpringSteps Thats not good news. I will continue to pray for you. I hate to see my Brothers and Sisters hurting.
@SpringSteps You may wanna look into Exosomes; they're reparative. Maybe pricy. But heck of a lot better than shoulder surgery.
@SpringSteps I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from which comes my help. My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. -- Ps 121:1-2 🙏🕊️✝️
@SpringSteps Mandy, I hope you get the needed repairs done sooner rather than later. In 2018, I injured my right shoulder, and as per Dr. Protocol was given intense P.T. which caused excruciating pain. Finally, Dr. Ordered M.R.I. showing severe damage, complete rotator cuff tear, not fun!
@SpringSteps I have been there. We had no insurance so it took 2 years and weekly deep tissue massages to get it to heal. I’m not gonna lie it hurt like crazy BUT it will either way. God still heals us. That was 5 years ago and I haven’t had an issue since. Massages were my answer.
@SpringSteps I feel your pain Herniated disk causes neck arm and shoulder have to wait on insurance to approve MRI and then have to wait to approve outpatient injection surgery
@SpringSteps I’m praying for you. Would your insurance allow you to get a second opinion?
@SpringSteps Lord you are the best physician we asked for healing in the name of Jesus
@SpringSteps Sorry you’re dealing with so much pain. I pray that you will find relief soon!
@SpringSteps 💔 💔 💔 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Love & Prayers!!! 🙏🏼 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Brother Scott 😢💔🙏🏼
@SpringSteps Insurance companies are the devil and shoulder surgery is rough. I pray God’s free and complete healing over you in Jesus name!
