better with rest, ROM, directed therapy, worse with heavy lifting. Pain symptom noticably worse at on fri last week. Worse for wear, as they say.
MRI report retrieved on fri.; Not just a tear (as noticable after 7 months), but tear and possibile 2nd tear (signs of tendenitis). Other problems also indicated, but impossible to evaluate relativitly from my knowledge - "mild degenerative" and "mild impingment" would need comparative data, such as that from other arm was not surveyed or some variably relevent data.

Just wish the pain would go away. I would be nice to escape it for awhile.

DirecWay wall mounts are a bit much without both arms working well. Torqeing (sic) the mount with the dish attached this AM hurt a bit.

Ortho consult today. Here's the short version. Having examined the MRIs Doc says it could go either way wrt surgury. Definite partial tear in his opinion, and second tear/tendonitis is probably not the main source of pain (but hard to be certain because of the way the nerve run and because not possible to determine if anethetic reached second injured area without additional workup - I guess he's talking about mri with dyes). He wants to go 2-3 months with more PT with the hope it improves; But if not major improvement (he defines as 80% pain free time in normal daily activities) or if re-injury occurs it's off to the O.R. I go. If that happen, it's done/unusable for 3-4 months and PT after that. Physical Therapist said post op PT up to one year. So I'm hoping I won't require surgury.

Don't you love the appeal of the commercial "you deserve a good nite's sleep". Well I can't get one, I alway wake up in pain.

been some hurt on the old shoulder the last few day. Felt pretty good during vacation. My buddies in Va have a home gym setup, so I got my exercises in with good form. A little strain from moving a few things, but not bad. Had PT on Wed.s afternoon and I was hurting. Therapist noting knots (lots) both fore and aft. Strength training was more painful than a few weeks ago, but doable. Had some spasms last night and today woke up with a bit of a thob. had three times today where the pain was back to creeping over the shoulder - These are sharper and they seem to be followed with more ache and even more soreness at the upper ROM. PM now and smarts pretty good on back side, and there is kind of a down my arm.

ow, ache, wake fom the new slumber and dreams of mary. I slouch in the dough of humanity, with yeast attacking my gluten fiber and heat entrophing the virtue and ethic of my core. Heaven to be the mass in conscienceness and consideration of that virtue bygone with the world of alturism. Never to be at peace and ever petulent and defending as hedonist scavenge on my soul.

Hurting worse now. Have spidering pains both behind, running down and across, and running up and over shoulder.
Up on pain scale, and have had pain spikes half a dozen times. Even driving down the road when the pain spike hit, just about made me cry.
