Hi Debra,

Sorry you are in such pain now. Hope you do get a medrol dose pack

for it. Steroid packs will help reduce swelling. In the future maybe

should get a MRI to make sure you don't have torn tendons or anything

like that. In the meantime keep some ice on it to slow the swelling.

soft hugs,

Debbie J

hurts to lift my arm and it has lost alot of range of motion.
