Inhale a serious pain in shoulder. The back story, an MRI showed partial tears in several ligaments about a month ago. Was told it was not enough for surgery. Was told to wait for call from physiotherapist. About three hours ago while trying to lift and older golden retriever, my shoulder made a sound inside like the breaking of a tree branch. The pain so intense I came close to blacking out, vomited instead. Made it to local emerge, doc on call cave pain killer and needle with totadolmi think. My shoulder is very swollen, trying to move arm at allsending incredible ain through biceps and triceps, elbow clicking, tingly in my fingers. The pain is unbelievable. Tomorrow to doctor's office to try and arrange ultra sound and MRI somewhere. The question, hot or cold on shoulder to help stop or relieve pain.nbapologies for my grammar and spelling, I'm usually very precise, pain has me not caring. Good grief, I can barely focus and you want my credit card? thank you for nothing.
