Rotator Cuff Injury?

December 11, 2008

Back in February of this year I started to have pain in my right shoulder. The

pain has changed over time, being more or less intense, moving down into my

elbow and up the side of my neck. I have had periods where I could not undress

myself and have even been brought to my knees with pain for minutes until it

subsided. It went from being contantly in pain to only being painful with

particular movements to now being constant and jabbing/throbbing. I have more

movement now than I have for a long time and haven't had that 'bring me do my

knees' pain for some time but it is getting more and more unbearable just

because I am so tired of living in pain.

I had an x-ray done and was told I have either a rotator cuff injury or

osteoarthritis. This was back in April. I was given Ibuprofin and that

actually made the pain much worse when I took it. I stopped and then started

again just to be sure and then started taking Inflameze CMO, SerraEnzyme and

ImmuCell Collagen supplements which I had taken for a 'rippled' miniscus in the

past with great success. It doesn't seem to be helping with this unless the

changes in the type and level of pain can be attributed.

I recently went to see the doctor (Kaiser) again regarding this. A new doctor

and he just wanted to x-ray again. I agreed, not really remembering that we had

already done that back in April so I called and asked for an MRI instead. I

haven't heard back yet.

I'm wondering if there are any other ideas out there. I'm up for just about

anything at this point. I was thinking of something that might be drawn in with

DMSO? I've never used it and don't know what to pair with it in this case. Any

thoughts at all from anyone?
