Physical therapy is over. It did not help. I think it made things worse. I let the therapist know and he told me to stop any exercises (which I had done), so it wasn’t like they overworked me – I dunno what happened to make things worse.
Yesterday I had a follow-up visit with the sports medicine doc, and he gave me cortisone shot number 2. It didn’t hurt much, and has made a huge difference in my pain. He says I have severe tendinitis, but the second shot usually clears it up. He also put me on a strong anti-inflammatory for 30 days, after which I see him again.
This is turning into an injury blog. I am daydreaming about getting back into the gym, but I know when I do, I have a long climb ahead of me. It will suck.
I cannot wait.
Anyway, my arm does not hurt when I sleep anymore, and I can close my fist with some strength now without pain. I am hopeful this is the fix.
Six year plan. Six year plan. Six year plan…..
(Because a six month plan just ain’t gonna happen.)
