I hope this reaches folks going through left shoulder pain. There seems to be a very big difference between the left shoulder pain you get immediately after surgery and the kind that hangs on month after month and potentially year after year. It AMAZES and frustrates me that my surgeon and apparently many others have no clue what to do about this or even able to diagnose if properly! They're making the money and we are left with constant pain. My surgeon (TJ) said a few patients are prescribed LYRICA for a nerve problem. THat's rich. LYRICA causes you to gain weight! What are we guinea pigs? The very best thing we can do is talk to each other and figure out what the pattern is. I get the pain either when I haven't eaten, or drink liquids too fast. Eating sometimes makes it better! Shouldn't we be able to get some answers here?
Open to any thoughts you have. I'm going to visit here much more often and hope you'll write me with any thoughts you have. Same screen name at AOL.
