Its been a painful couple of months.\u00a0\u00a0 Literally.\u00a0 And I finally went to the doctor for it.\u00a0 Apparently I damaged my rotator cuff on my left shoulder.<\/p>\n

Oh, did you think I was talking painful circumstances or emotional pain?\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 Yup, had that.\u00a0 But in addition I had severe pain down my upper arm.\u00a0 So much pain that I stopped using the arm in hopes whatever I’d done would\u00a0 heal itself. Worried I had damaged it.<\/p>\n

Couple months later I’m down to 50% mobility in that arm.\u00a0 Seems when you baby a shoulder injury you run the risk of freezing it.\u00a0 And mine was a nice solid ICE block…. of pain.<\/p>\n

Solution?\u00a0 Well, according to the doctor I finally saw, Physical Therapy.\u00a0 Oh and a cortisone shot to reduce any inflammation.\u00a0 Weeeeeee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yes, it PINCHED!<\/p><\/div>\n

So I’ve been doing the stretching exercises for a few days now and already I’ve noticed I can move my arm a little better.\u00a0\u00a0 There is still pain, but its less during the day and hardly anything at night.\u00a0 Before the shot & stretching it used to wake me with its throbbing ache.<\/p>\n

And I’ve got my first physical therapy session today.\u00a0 I’m actually nervous.\u00a0 I KNOW this is for my benefit.\u00a0 But I also KNOW its gonna hurt like a bitch!<\/p>\n
