Doctor says I do have a tear in my rotator cuff but believes I can do a couple of months of therapy and get motion back. He gave me a shot in the shoulder that hurt like hell but actually I'm moving it better since then, actually can lift it some. He says if the pain does not go away by February he will have to remove some of the bone spurs that have caused this damage. He did caution me to favor the arm while working at the farm until it heals or I could tear it the rest of the way through. Then my only option would be a shoulder replacement
This is bitter sweet news. Sweet in that there is hope it will repair and I'll get motion back without surgery. bad news in that if it does not and I need surgery it would be good to have it done by the first of the year while we have maxed out on our out of pocket cost this year. Waiting till the first of next year will mean a much more expensive ordeal... :-(
And I will tell you that due to this Obamacare everything is costing us MUCH more out of pocket.
Is it what it is....
