I heard from my doctor's office. I go in on Tuesday to get the results of my MRI. The nurse didn't know the results, she is just instructed to schedule an appointment.
I think this is good news. When I had hurt my knee a few years back, and they did an MRI, they called up and just scheduled surgery. I'm hoping that since they didn't automatically schedule surgery for my shoulder after this MRI, and instead scheduled an appointment, maybe that means it's not a tear or hole in the rotator cuff after all...? Maybe just physical therapy?
Hey, I can hope, can't I? LOL!
I'm not very good about waiting. I get so impatient. And talk of surgery and PT and all that gets me nervous.
On a good note, the meds have been helping a lot! Especially doubling up on the arthritis meds. That seems to have helped in reducing the inflamation in there, and a lot of the lesser pain is all but gone. It doesn't ache as much as it did. Unfortunately, the really bad pain is still really bad. But that isn't all the time, just when I move the wrong way. And I've been able to keep that to a minimum. So the pain has gotten a lot more manageable. It has raised my spirits considerably. Now if we could knock the bad pain down several notches, I'd be a real happy camper!
