Will today I see the therapist to see if it will help my shoulder. Scared that it won't. At least I know the therapist since my daughter saw her for her dislocated kned and sprain ankle.

A guy was in one day and he was having therapy and I could tell it was his shoulder that he was in for, I know that look of pain way to well.

If theray doesn't work and if I have to face surgery on it my family will fall part. I just had my gallbladder out in November. Plus my daughter getting hjrt to dea with. Plus husband alway depressed. To much to deal with.

No support from family. Some from friends but they are to busy to feally care to check in. I'm left handed and its my left shoulder that is messed up.

Love the support I get here. I real need it. Feel like forgetting therapy since my husband won't help keep things cleaned up and working around here for the better. Frustrated big time.

I posted what the doctor called my shoulder problem on another posting. Really don't like fancy words. He said I had two things wrong and if therapy doesn't work then I'm looking at surgery.

Typing is hurting my shoulder so time to quit.

    Sorry Lori,

    I was trying to read your comment on the bus,and kept losing service,so I missed 

    the bit about Kevin seeing the XRays. That is so good,and I can't see anything wrong

    wit chiropractors at all,as dad had a broken neck,in 1940,from a motorbike accident.He was told he would be paralysed,but eventually walked again after a year of rehab.He had spondylitis,and his neck would dislocate,and it could happen several times a day if he couldn't manipulate the bones back in.It was quite horrible the cracking noise it made,so every now and again he would go to a Chiropractor his Doctor sent him to.He was going to send me for massage at the same clinic in the hope of helping my migraines,but I never did it

    Tge sports Physio I am going to,has done a massage before the exercises,which has been quite soothing,in a painful way.It sounds like now you are on the way to getting somewhere so that is good news.

    With your jaw,you really need a new scan to see if there is inflammation or even new injury,through pressure and use of your shoulder.My jaw,teeth and gums are so painful when I have a sinus infection also.

    Take care,

    Alice

      I went to my dentist today and she said that I have pulled muscles in my jaw. So I'm on soft foods for now. Told me tk put heat on my jaw and take advil.

      Going to the coast tomorrow.

      Husband and I are going to meet with Dr. Federov Feb 13. I'm going to ask him to send my xrays to Kevin. Going to leave the chiropractor part out if I can for now on.

      Dentist took xrays of my mouth. She could feel the pulled muscles. Wondering why im keep having all this bad luck lately.

      Going to be eating a lot of mashed potatoes and gravy and skim milk shakes for awhile. Eating peanut butter and jelly sandwich hurt to much.

      Growing up in the old days was harder then it was for me but at the same time not. Neighbors and family didn't help. You're married you stay. No numbers to call for support or help that I saw until high school. I'm sorry your mom didn't get many years without the abuse.

      We are doing great here, except my jaw, shoulder hurts but not as bad as my jaw. Husband took our daughter to get a dress for tonight Harry Potter Ball at our library. He also bought her a necklace that was in one of the movies, not actual one but a cheap one at a store that had Harry Potter things. She ususually doesn't want to go to these things but its Harry Potter.

      The sun finally came out here. Tomorrow coast! I probably will end up having a lot of milkshakes but hopefully it won't bug me since I had my gall bladder out in Nov.

      That is so great to hear Lori.It sounds like you are really starting to feel you are getting somewhere,and so nice to hear what your husband has done with getting involved with your daughter's Harry Potter event.It is lovely men are more involved these days,as when we wre younger,it was a mother's job only,usually,although I have a friend whose dad was more hand on the mother,and she was the disciplinary one.My youngest son is so great with little Blake,who has just turned 3.He has done the biggest part of the parenting from the start,as well as working,although I don't blame Sarah,as she  had hard issues to deal with,as her dad has been in jail,and she and my son both heloed care for her young sister.Her  Mum died a year ago,and she was dealing with grief and everything. 

      I am so glad you have had an answer with your jaw,but not good to hear you are on such a bland diet.Milkshakes are nice though,and I like yoghurt,although I make my own with an Easiyo Maker,as they have really nice and creamy bases,and just different tasting flavours.

      You have had a huge lot to deal with after having had your gall bladder out,as any surgery puts a lot of stress on your body,and the specialist told me after Breast surgery,it takes at least a year for your body to bounce back completely.You would still be feeling  fragile after that,you poor love.

      Enjoy your day at the coast,and take care. It will be interesting to hear what Kevin has to say,but at least you will know then.

      I ended up doing too much today,and my arm and shoulder is hurting,so I have just sat down with a cup of tea,and a couple of Panadol osteo,and told hubby,that's it,we are going out for tea,and I am going on strike for the rest of today.😄

      ake care,and enjoy.

       Ivebeen thinking about your soft diet.    My daughter has just bought  herself a juicer, and it making delicious vegetable smoothies. I looked on ebay and there are loads for sale.  Just an  idea.

      I'm not big on fruits and veggies. They don't like me.  My stomach has never been a huge fan of them.

      Mashed potatoes and gravy and milkshakes are my main soft foods to eat. 

      We had a pretty good day at the coast Saturday. Going Friday didn't work out because my daughters friends took off on her and left her alone. They didn't talk to her. She came home very upset.  She was outside in the dark when we got their, no adults around. She is only 12. I was mad. At first the hated the whole ball thing but after she calmed down she finally said she like some of it.  Not happy her so call friends left her alone. At least one sister of a friend talked to her for a little bit.  Otherwise her friends didn't talk to her and didn't hang out with her.  They didn't even say good bye to her; they only said good bye to each other forgetting my daughter.  So Friday she was very hurt and mad.

      I found out that my body isn't ready for clam chowder and fish and chips. It didn't taste right to me.  They loved it and I was just sad that it didn't taste good to me.  The beach was great except we had to climb a sand dune and go down on to get to the beach.  My body wasn't ready for it. Walking on the beach was great. Found whole sand dollars.  

      Are usual thing to do is eat at Mcdonald's for dinner but I ate slowly and didn't eat much. The lunch we ate was fatty enough and I knew already I would be in trouble that night. Yep! Had acid reflux bug me all night.  Today better but back to the low fat diet and soft foods.

      I figured I had been clinching my jaw due to stress and to handle the pain in my shoulder instead of crying the pain out.  I was eating raw carrots that could have done it too the dentist said. It just was way to much going on at the same time.

      Husband got us an appointment to talk to Dr. Federov on the 13.  Not looking forward too it.  Daughter is suppose to go in this Friday for hopefully her last therapy but doesn't want to go. She isn't happy what happened. I can't even get her due  her therapy exercises at home.  

      I can't get the therapist words out of my head, even though Kevin said she was wrong.  Lucky I didn't listen to her and got to my dentist. I need a filling; which I don't like and they gave me special toothpaste to use at night to help a few others that have enamel off them. Dentist is my favorite place to go.

      Christine thanks a lot for the idea of veggie smoothies I wish I could do it. My system doesn't like most veggies and fruits. I can eat grean beans, corn and carrots only. Others make me throw up or the smell of them make me nausued; its called food allertions. 

      AliceVictoria sorry you over did it.  I have the same thing I just keep going because I want to get things done then I pay for it for a few days.  

      I almost dropped 3/4 galloon of milk yesterday but my husband caught it. Therapist says nothing wrong with my shoulder right don't believe her.

      Hopefully when husband gets home from work today I can get his support and get our daughter to do her exercises and I can do mine for some I have from Kevin and Dr. Federov. I just got to love all this stuff that has been going on in my life lately. 

      I hope you ladies had a great weekend. Today daughter and I got up on Hockey games and watched Hallmark movies.  I'm hoping she was just tired this morning and is not coming down with a cold from being on the beach so long. My feet were very cold and I had a sweetshirt on, she didn't. Why does having fun bite us in the long run. 

      Shoulder has its good and bad days. I just want more good days then bad. I miss cross stitching. Have a great rest of the day. I'm in Oregon so its almost evening here.

    Hi Lori,

    Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you,as I have had a fairly busy day,

    and now hubby has decided he is going by train to the State Library in the City tomorrow for Research (he is an Author/Publisher of Local History and Antique & Collectable reference books),so he will be leaving early.Just had to get some lunch ready for him,as it is a six hour round trip,and he just grabs half an hour to go out on the lawn,and have lunch,and get straight back into it,as he can only get so many files at a time.

    Lovely to hear you had a nice time at the beach,and could relax and get away from it all,even if it was fir a short time. Not so good that your daughter had to put up with such bitchiness,and like you say,tjey aren't true friends to treat her like that.I hope she kind get her own little circle of friends going,that will have more respect for each other.It sounds like she may still be a little down about what the friends did to her.It

    would be hard to completely forget about it,as she is coming into maturity,and peers matter a lot.Girl's can be so bitchy.I remember a friend of mine,when her daughter started prep she was frozen out of her group,the so called 'popular' girls.In the end she wouldn't go to school,and was physically sick (she was only 5,but they started that early)?St least boys have a push and shove,and it's all over.At least it used to be.My older Grandson's school has a very strict no bullying policy.

    Poor kid,with her I jury and everything,she also has a lot going on too.

    I am the same as you with clenching my jaw.I have problems with gum receding,mainly due to age,but sometimesto  I am a bit vigorous with cleaning,as I will do anything to avoid extractions,as with the blood condition,I get infections and uo haemorrhaging.I have to have a checkup and XRay in May.I can think of a lot of places I would rather go to,but I am not really too fazed,although the Dentist I saw for years left,and now teaches at Latrobe University. He was from England,and was so caring and fun.The one I have now,Raz,is from India

    or somewhere like that,but he is really nice as well.

    That is interesting about food,and the fact that fruit and veg affect you,in the same way meat does,and even when I was a very young child,it did.My friend Louise,who is Vegan,,and I were talking about it recently,and I think maybe I had Vegetatian tendencies even back then,as there were no chicken takeaways or anything,and poultry was a luxury we only had at Cmas.I would not eat whatever dad had to kill,as it was a duck,or chooks I had bonded with.I used to not to talk to him either,and any meat used to be spirited away in my hanky,and out to the dog.No wonder Panda got fat.😄.Dad used to really strict,and make me sit at the table until I had finished everything,but mum was aware about my dislike of meat,and tried not to put too much on. Hubby is easy to cook for,but he likes meat,and veg,usually potato,pumpkin,corn,peas or beans,carrot,He hates gourmet/trendy food.

    I have the same problem as you with nausea,and I feel really sick just the smell,and look of meat.Even when I go to the shopping centre and I have to go past Lenard's chicken shop,or the Meat Market shop,the smell of raw goods makes me want to heave.The smell of fish does the same to me.Very 

    occassionally Boof and I will share a piece of fried flake.I will have a quarter,he has three quarters.😄

    It has started to get quite cold of a night,and early morning,although we are on daylight savings,and it is still a month until Autumn.Still time to get another heatwave yet.

    I go to physio tomorrow. Both wrists are playing merry hell with the cooler change,,so I shudder to think how I will go this winter.I live in Australia,but I like this forum,as there aren't any online ones as 'user friendly'..

    Take care Lori  and hopefully you will be able to get the necessary help for your shoulders when ake in can see what has been happening.

    I am off to bed,as it is 11,30pm and I am almost asleep.

    Alice.
