Shoulder surgery


I have endured arm pain for at least six weeks. I finally saw the orthopedist Monday. As I expected, he said that I need surgery. I’ve torn one of my bicep tendons, arthritis has greatly narrowed the space between my clavicle and acromion (part of the scapula) and I have a spur sticking down from clavicle into bursa between clavicle and scapula. Orthopedist will clean all of that up, plus anything else the MRI does not show.

Surgery is scheduled for 8:45 a.m. Thursday, April 23. I’m looking forward to getting this over with.

Shoulder drawing came from OurHealthNetwork.com.

My good friend recently had the ball of her shoulder replaced and is going through physical therapy. The therapy is tough, but is showing good results. Hope your surgery goes well. I have to post an anonymous, because I always have trouble posting, but it's just me--jancd
