The joint specialist announced last month that I no longer needed physical therapy training for the pain in my shoulder. It seemed premature to me--I wasn't pain free--but I went along with it and canceled my upcoming appointments with the trainer.
But not long after, the pain came roaring back. If anything, it's worse. I can't even put a shirt on without pain. So I went back to the doctor. He said we could either do exploratory (laparoscopic) surgery to see in more detail what the problem might be (the MRI I had was inconclusive) or we could go back to PT and see if that improved matters. I opted for more PT. Although surgery would ultimately take less time, the PT counts as good exercise and I've become more and more averse to anesthesia.
I hopped over to the PT office, which is in the same building, and set up a schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I belong to the trainer again!
