So some of you know but some of you dont... I've been having some pretty awful shoulder/back trouble on my left side for a couple of months. well really i've always been really really tight back there but recently its gotten really bad. So i went to the doctor. So i've learned a few things...
I have Scoliosis
I have 2 bad shoulder joints
My shoulder blade is not moving properly
All the muscules in my back are extremely sore and tight
So my doc isn't really sure whats the MAIN problem but all these things have aggravated each other and is causing some crazy weirdness. She was highly surprised that i couldn't raise both my arms over my head and put my hands together. SO I've got a prescription for a strong anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxer. Also i've been referred to some physical therapy. So that's for the next 2 weeks to do. If when i come back for a re-exam after these 2 weeks and there is little improvement then there will be x-rays and possibly an MRI to figure out whats going on.
The hardest thing i have to do though is relax my arms and shoulders. which is CRAZY hard!! thats pretty much where i care ALL my stress. so since my exam i've been realizing how much i just start to scrunch up and i have to drop my shoulders.
Well yea thats pretty much the news. Hopefully it will all start to relax and i'll be able to lift things. (i'm sure the meds will seriously help!)
