Without wishing to give the impression that I am not still the towering, stunningly attractive, tanned granite jawed hunk , former male model and Commando that you always knew I was, I have to tell you about my "frozen shoulder".
OK, I can hear the collective moan from as far a field as Outer Mongolia because I have been moaning about this shoulder for so many months now even I am bored with it. I have made several attempts to gain a cure, have been prodded and probed and injected with steroids as well as vast quantities of anti inflammatory drugs, that gave me mouth ulcers and the pain will still not go!
However, help is on the horizon now that I have had an ultrasound scan to accompany my X-Rays and will be seeing the Physiotherapist at the end of the month for some treatment and hopefully a cure.
For those of you who are familiar with the condition (Frozen Shoulder, Rotator Cuff Injury, adhesive capsulitis or whatever you want to call it, it is really really painful!!! It hurts so much sometimes that you cannot help but cry out or if asleep, wake with a gasp.
What is such as shame is that this process has been taking so long with me setting off to the doctor with it back in April. There are people (doctors among them) that say "Oh leave it for a year or two and it will get better on its own". Good old them, they clearly don't have the pain.
Now to add insult to injury Mrs H has the same condition but in her left shoulder whereas mine is my right so our sleeping arrangements are often compromised by us accidentally bumping the affected limb and making the other wake up in unexpected pain.
I look forward to my treatment.... will I be able to type again?
