I haven’t posted in a very long time but wanted to give a quick update. Recently had another mri at suggestion from pain management. I have had chronic neck and shoulder pain for years. The cervical showed bulging disc at all levels, degenerative disc and facet disease with stenosis. That’s not really the problem. The shoulder shows rotator cuff tendinopathy with subacror impingement with small osteophytes of ac joint. Will have injection in shoulder and cesi next week.

Aw, so sorry to read this, hopefully the injections will give you relief especially with your shoulder. Careful, careful with the grandbaby & lifting. A few months ago, I tried lifting my great grand, he weighs around 25 pounds & it was not possible. I was trying to help him get off of a ride, mom was by my side to help him off. Hind sight 20/20, I can't lift a 10 pound bag of potatoes!

Keep us posted lady.

Thank you Susie. I’m pretty sure the grandbaby has been a big part of this. I can’t not pull her up in my lap when arms go up or pick her up. She’s 22 months and 21 pounds. Very petite but more than I need to be pulling on. She lives close by so I see her daily.

So I ask my doc that did injections if this is going to help the impingement much. He said it just buys time. The only way to stop it is to go in remove spurs and scar tissue. 😩. I’m not ready to do this again. That would make #5 on this shoulder.

Did you do the injections, if so any relief yet? I would prolong any more surgery for as long as possible, totally understand your mind set on this. For what it's worth, they can remove only so much scar tissue, it ends up coming back. Some people also tend to get scar tissue more quickly than others too.

Take care.

I did have the injections. I have had a relief. Yea I’m not thinking on a surgery anytime soon.
