I haven't posted in a while because my app. with the
specialist was postponed. I went today to find out that
since this injury affects my soft tissue that surgery may
make it worse! Why did the man not tell me this when I first
saw him in Feb? I guess the world may never know:) Trying to
keep my head up and we discussed his option #2, cortizone,
but I told him that since the shot is a one time chance I
would like to explore all other options first. I was told a
chiropractor would help if it had to do with tissue around
the joint, again not my case. The only other option given is
accupuncture to relieve the pain in hopes that my body will
heal itself eventually. When I asked my limitations he said
I could do things like normal housework, knowing it will
hurt later and when the pain comes take a break and deal
with it. I left his office in tears thinking I am too young
for this. Any advice ? This has been the worst thing I have
ever had to deal with. I know a lot of you have it worse
than I do and I truly feel for you, I wish the best to you.
God Bless.
