She did touch it, mostly did strength and ROM tests. She told me if I end up having to come back, they'd do more exploratory tests. So, no... she didn't give me an x-ray or MRI.
She's just my regular primary care physician... I am pretty sure our insurance requires a PT referral, frankly I'm dying to go see one. I noticed you ARE one, too bad I don't live in NC, huh?
After rest it will get a little bit better, but the minute I use it in any way, shape or form it become a-n-g-r-y. Anyway, thanks for your reply... Have a good weekend.
If the Diclofenac didn't reduce your pain or symptoms, you definitely do not have inflammation and bursitis means inflammation of the bursa, which is a fluid filled sac that cushions and protects part of your joint. Often "bursitis" is the term used for pain in a joint when the problem is really a muscle pain and spasm.
I would strongly suggest an evaluation with a physical therapist, preferably a therapist that specializes in manual physical therapy and soft tissue manipulation/massage. You probably do not need a referral, but should contact the PT office of your choice and ask them what they need. You can probably be seen very soon.
I agree with Dr. Aaron LeBauer with his opinion. And, I think you shouldn't get annoyed this way.
You have mentioned that you haven't improved yet. And, you also mentioned that you have pain during picking up a cup of coffee. You may have neuropathy or something like that.Is your pain persistent?
Do you suffer from numbness?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
