Thank you Peggy

I got an e-mail from one of my readers and she urged me to go see an ortho. I did and guess what, I have either a torn rotator cuff or tendonitis. I have to go to physical therapy for a few weeks to see if its tendonitis. They stuck a 4 inch needle in my shoulder and said it should help with the pain in a few days. I'll have to let you know in a few days cause right now.... DAAAAAAANG! It's throbbing. I am keeping a positive attitude about it and it didn't keep me up all night last night.

Have a great weekend. My grandparents will be at my mom's this weekend and I am taking the youngin' over there to let them have a field day with her. We might even check out the zoo. The electric wheel chairs are $22 a pop x2 grandparents plus senior admission we are looking at about $70 just for the 2 of them. I think they would enjoy it though. I will have to get plenty of pics if we go.

I took down the dorky goober part of the post. I was advised by someone wise. (more wise-a-mer than me)Legalities. Geez!

Tendonitis and Bursitis can be treated with Pantothenic Acid (also called Calcium Pantothenate) with amazing results. Get a bottle of P.A. at your local health food store and take 4 500mg tablets a day for a week. Then drop to 2 a day. I have Bursitis in both shoulders, and my daughter was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff recently. The P.A. cured her in less than two weeks. I take it whenever I have a flare up and I'm usually pain free in less than a week. Give it a try. It can't hurt.

I have chronic tendonitis in my rotator cuff. I know what you're going through. Picking up a piece of paper can be like getting stabbed. Hell just moving your arm at all is hell. Good luck.
