HELP: Frozen shoulder, rotator cuff: Cortisone???

[Guest guest]

My shoulder problem continues. I'm working hard on exercises given by the

physical

therapist, and a new one suggested by a chiropractor I had to see on monday

after my

back went out on Sunday -- HUGE spasm -- had to wear a back brace.

She says three ribs are pulling away from my spine, so will work on adjusting

them. She

has an excellent reputation (local chiros go to her for their treatment). But

she also

suggested that if my shoulder doesn't get better by 50% in the next two weeks, I

should

see an orthopedist, and possibly consider a cortisone shot.

She had to do that many years ago herself, as she had to keep working and

couldn't take

six months off to just do the physical therapy.

Others have suggested that once they treated a viral infection their shoulder

problems

went away, but I have no idea which viruses I have, or if I have them, although

I'm

convinced I have a candida infection. I've lost weight over the years, and

have zero

appetite, so I have to take HCL and digestive enzymes, which so far aren't much

help.

ANY TIPS OR SUGGESTIONS would be VERY appreciated. Cortisone (just one or two

shots,

antivirals, probiotics, anti-candidals?

I feel like I'm falling apart, dying.

Thanks in advance,

Dan
