Just got back from physio...which was pointless seeing as i couldnt do what she wanted me to!   I should have had physio 2 weeks ago. Oh well, at least she is now referring me for hydrodilitation at the hospital.  And i have a physio appt once a week for the next 3 weeks. They wont let me have more than one a week as they are understaffed.

Ive got the large dose (10ml) of injection on Saturday so although i know that wont cure it, it will at least take a lot of pain away so i can try and do some more movements with my shoulder. 

Im thinking of going off work sick with the FS and also stress caused by a woman here who is just panning (?word) out to get me. Stupid comments that shes reporting me on.  So annoying and upsetting.  last night i broke down and cried in front of my boss telling him i wanted to hand my notice in.   He just told me to do things back at her, but its so childish and petty.  But i dont want to come to work because of it, so i might just go off sick and leave them all to it.  No way can i find another job with a FS.

    hi , i had physio for 6 weeks , he gave me excersise to do at home as well , didnt work though so he said he could do no more to help so went back to docs , not sure what you mean about panning lol but if someone is causing you bother at work , you should report them to your boss , bullying at work is totally unaccepltible

      Totally agree with you there Jim - bullying in the workplace is totally unacceptable! When you are not feeling well its hard to cope with this! Debbie's boss should do something positive about it!! Rant over!!!

    Awwww Debbie sad 

    Go off sick - Once you have had your hydrodilation I'm sure things will improve for you............ you can then start intensive physio and not have to worry about work! With FS it does make you depressed and you dont need some little s**t upsetting you! Don't worry about work just concentrate on getting better then when you are well .....go kick this persons ass!!!! Lol......... Please go sick and look after yourself, your road to recovery is just on the horizon smile Good luck for saturady - and if you still need surgery - go for it smile Hugs xx

      Thanks Linda and Jim.

      Panning - i meant she seems to be out to get me !!  lol

      My boss has no balls wont do anything, i sat and cried in front of him yesterday and he just sees it as 2 people who dont get on.  Im afraid that if i go off sick i wont ever come back and i need the money.

      I know its little things that make me mad easily because of the pain, dont forgot the guy at work whose mom has FS and 'just gets on with it' so i feel im made to look as if im putting on the pain.  But the physio did say i need to take ibuprofen/paracetemol during the day so that the pain doesnt get too bad and i can then start to move my shoulder more.  At the moment i just take codeine at night.  Im going to the gym tonight with a friend, to do bike and treadmill so at least i will feel a bit better.  And hopefully once shoulder has healed i can get back to  my 4 times a week instead of being Mrs Blobby on settee every night.

      Linda - Intensive physio will they organise that at the hospital after ive had the hydro?  As my physio wont do more than once a week!

      Anyway thanks all.   razz

      Hi Debbie, yes my consultant insisted on intensive physio! They have seen me twice a week for last 3 weeks.........But now she can't get me in at all for another 3 weeks - short staffed as you say!  But again it looks like I need further manipulation under anaesthetic - consultant said 'no worries, its a quick 10min job & you wont need to stay in overnight this time" cheers I thought!!!! Physio yesterday said I'm still very tight sad said she has known people that have had to go back for further surgery & no matter how hard you work at it sometimes it just isn't enough sad 

      Lol know how you feel when you say Mrs Blobby!!!! Feel like I've given up the go since all this started sad

      When I lie flat on the floor to do excercises given to me - I can't put my elbow onto the floor - it just wont go!!!! Does this make sense? Physio just scratched her head & said she thinks its because my shoulder blade is still doing the movements instead of my actual shoulder and that its protruding out sad

      You should think about taking some time off though........xx

      Yes i had the steroid and he told me at the time that i would need another one.  Then now the hydro they have said that i might need another one after the first one!!   Cant they do it right first time!!! ha ha

      I understand about lying flat - i had to do it this morning, the elbow will not go back will it!   Not sure if i fancy manipulation.  aarrggh!

      Will give steroid another go this weekend and then possibly the hydo when i can get an appointment.

      Im a bit of a workaholic, dont like other people doing my work.  My hubby has said maybe i need time off but im not so sure.  If im off sick i wont be able to go to the gym or anything in case someone sees me. lol

      I dont know im just not with it at the moment, this woman is making my life very difficult, always has done really but at the moment i cant deal with it.

      Glad you guys are here.  confused

      Morning Debbie, If I were you I would ask to be referred to a consultant orthopaedic shoulder surgeon - these are the experts........... Still go for the steriod though............ you have the right to see a consultant and they will sort you out - don't be fobbed off......... people don't understand how debilitating & painful this condition is and its daft to waste time when something can be done about it - go see your GP again and ask to be reffered................they will not think you are being a pest, FS interferrs with your everyday life. Go book the appoinment........... hugs xx
