Went to see the shoulder specialist today - a whopping 6 weeks since I had the MRI, but we had conflicting schedules and I got the flu during my last appointment (well not during the appointment but it prevented me from going if you see what I mean). Well the rotator cuff is fine so the pain in the shoulder remains a mystery. I got a cortisone shot with some anaesthetic in it, the whole process involved a rather large needle. However, luckily the needle pain relationship is not a proportional one and it was surprisingly OK. The shoulder hurts more now but I think it is just looking for sympathy and it will be fine when it realises it has high hopes that are unattainable - either that or it heard the Dr say ‘endoscope’ and is rather nervous it may have to go through that.
On a side note - I rather like the word endoscope, it had a certain ring to it. Endoscope, endoscope, end-o-scope, end….o….scope. Ahhhhhhh.

Ouch! Those shots really hurt, even with the anaesthetic - that’s what they gave me twice in my ankle. I think the joint is already swollen and then they add fluid to it, and that’s why it hurts so much. Hang in there, it should start to feel better than before in a day or two! - KRS
