My Update - 3/6

2/28 post

3/5 post

Sorry to leave you guys hanging so long waiting for an update .... I wasn't feeling up to posting when I first got home ... but I didn't want the night to pass leaving you wonderful girls worrying about me w/o any news.



I had my appointment with the Orthopedist this afternoon.

Not sure this can be considered 'good news' Its definitely not what I was expecting to hear at all! I was expecting to hear that I screwed up my shoulder, but that I would be good as new after some PT.

Guess not

The orthopedist says he doesn't think its an Orthopedic problem either. He thinks there is something more going on that hasn't been diagnosed yet. He thinks there is a larger problem causing all the pain I am going through. He didn't see a reason to send me for more XRAYs and MRIs, if that's not the root cause of the problem.

So .... he wants me to see a Rheumatologist (sp?) and have some blood work done.

He thinks it could be Fibromyalgia.

I'm very disappointed and frustrated, I was really hoping that I was nearing the light at the end of the tunnel .... but it seems this may only be the beginning. I just don't know how to mentally wrap my brain around this whole situation.

Anyone have advice to share?

I'll take and too ....
