Shoulder is FUBAR’d.

[BoomerD]

I’ve torn/damaged the rotator cuff in both shoulders over the decades, bur for the last couple of months, one shoulder just doesn’t seem to be coming back. I’ve tried heat, ice, (no actual recent injury, so no swelling/obvious inflammation) and OTC meds. Even the lidocaine patches don’t really help. Most days, I can barely lift my arm…and when I do, it hurts like hell.
Like it or not, I’m gonna have to see an ortho over it. Of course, that means seeing my primary doc, who (with a bit of luck) will send me for an MRI, then HOPEFULLY he’ll refer me to ortho. The way our local medical system works…just the PCP appointment will take a couple of months…

Osteoarthritis progressing? Regardless of what the issue is, that sucks man. Maybe it will just be injections and rehab? Best of luck.
