Post surgery and long time no write
My last post was a couple of days before my shoulder surgery (Dec. 10) and here we are 2 months later! My shoulder was worse than the Dr had expected. He said, it looked as if someone had put a match to all the tissues, muscles, tendons--that everything that was supposed to be white was red and inflamed. OK--folks--INFLAMED! Which leads me to my blood work which always shows NO inflammation. See with ankylosing spondylitis EVERYTHING can be inflamed and NEVER show up on blood work. I wish the DRs would realize this--oh, you have no inflammation--umm yes, I do. I ended up with a partial rotator repair and 2 inches of bone removed. The reason for all the inflammation was all the jacked up bone! That's my medical term--jacked up! My recovery has been painful and long. I've got a long road ahead, but at least I finally don't have numbness in my fingers. This will not make me pain free, but it will help in managing and doing life! My physical therapy is KILLER
