I've been in pain with my shoulder for months now - since August. It turns out that while I do have a small tear in my labrum, some tendonitis, and arthritis, it has become obvious from xrays and an MRI that the majority or my issues stem from my neck. Everything in my neck is a disaster. All of the discs are in bad shape with one missing a huge chunk and another missing a large chunk. My spine in my neck is also curved the wrong direction. I have been in physical therapy for months, been on pain medication around the clock, on Mobic, steriods, steroid shots, steroid patches, heating pad, you name it, I've been doing it. The pain is only becoming more and more unbearable. I go for a cervical block on April 4th and another on the 25th.
I'm throwing up frequently again. My weight has dropped again into the underweight category - just barely at 106, but still there.
I feel at my wits end. I've done everything my doctor tells me to do. The pain medication isn't even touching the pain anymore, and I don't know what else to do. I can't live like this. I am not a wuss. I didn't take pain medication after having VSG or my hysterectomy or ever for that matter. This pain is killing me.
Just thought I'd whine here because my family surely is tired of my pitifulness and not being able to help.
