Anyone else have dual FS? How do you cope??

This site is a godsend! January 2015 I thought I had tweaked my shoulder
By reaching to turn off a light. March I got a cort shot that did nothing.
Went to physical therapy with no benefit, just added agony. August 2015
I had mua and arthro release. October my other shoulder started to ache.
January 2016 tried a cort shot with horrible results. Excruciating pain.
Now here I am looking at having mua and Arthro release on my second shoulder
And I am so worried. My left shoulder(the first one) bicep area is still painful and clicks.
I don't know if I can go thru it all again. I always thought I was pretty strong and could handle pain.
But this has taken me past anything I ever imagined. Has anyone else gone thru similar with dual FS?
How are/did you cope?
Family and friends don't understand the toll this hell takes. I have not slept longer then three hours at a time for over 15 months
How do you sleep at all with two bum shoulders? How do you do anything???.

I can do this. Within an hour it felt like someone stuck a knife blade thru my shoulder and was just twisting it!
Oh No no no . It would not let up . Ice, heat , hot shower, tens, nothing worked. I finally fell asleep noon on Saturday.
Woke me after 2 hours. Finally I gave in took 2 Percocet and got 4 hours sleep.
I fought so hard against this second shoulder going bad and swore I would not have surgery again and NEVER have a nerve block in any kind of procedure.
But I just don't know anymore. I am tentatively scheduled for surgery Thursday, but am so scared of the increased pain.
On top of that my doc requires pt the day after,so I called my pt guy to ask him a couple questions and he was such a JERK. I didn't like him to begin with, always thought he was a bit rude and "you can push thru it"
guys. Thought maybe I was just being overly sensitive before. But when I mentioned my concern about having both shoulders bad. His reply was ...So you can't move your left at all ?when I said it was still very painful, he said " well yeah and " " People deal with things all the time. It's really
About you." And it just went downhill from there. I understand the therapists have to push us that's why I stuck with him thru my first shoulder but he acts like I am such a whiner. And there was never a time when I did not push. I may have tears rolling down my face but I kept on and didn't ask to stop.
So I guess my point in all this rant is I am at an end, and I don't know what to do .
Sorry for the long winded rant / whine. No one else understands . And I know everyone here does.
