shoulder insanity

[cellomusette]

I've got a severe muscle spasm in my shoulder/upper back and can hardly move! Ouch. It started yesterday and got worse today. Doctor's appointment tomorrow, though I'm not sure what can possibly be done about a MUSCLE spasm. Gah.

This further supports my belief that my physiatrist here does not do real trigger point injections. With him, it's basically acupuncture with a little cortisone. WTF is that? My doctors here also insisted nothing could be done to relieve tension in my psoas and piriformis muscles using trigger point injections or cortisone injections because the muscles are simply too deep. According to them, nothing besides stretching will ever work. I am starting to think that the healthcare for chronic muscle/joint/nerve pain in my area is subpar and that's a big part of why I have gotten worse over time instead of better.
Fortunately I'm discussing an arrangement for moving to North Reading, at least temporarily (around 6 months). Seeking competent healthcare providers is a big motivation for going out that way.
