I fell down the house stairs not once, but twice (in February, and again after 2 1/2 months in May 2026). It was embarrassing, and worse the second time. I'm not exactly sure how either one happened. I rode my arms down the second time and yelled in pain. it wasn't my finest hour.
I went through a healing bit, but the pain got much, much worse. Pain put me in the Emergency Room 4 times in June and July of this year. It was BAD!
Currently things are getting slowly better, after a visit to a Doctor (mine was on vacation) and a trip to a Orthopedic surgeon (who gave me a shot in the shoulder, saying I was all better now ... even though that wasn't the truth).
After many consults and visits and calls to people who know things, did I start the process of moving forward with knowledge and time. I actually know now what to expect and can deal with the issues properly as they happen. I AM healing and AM slowly seeing progress. I am going to start physical therapy in a couple weeks, and am starting the slowly ween myself from the prescription pain meds the doctors gave me.
Am I still feeling pain? Absolutely yes!
Is the pain getting more and more tolerable? Yes.
Will it go away soon? Probably not, but I keep trying to move forward.
More soon ... I hope.
