Hi everyone,
I just finished my 3rd week of physical therapy and I've found that my pain has increased greatly since I started. I'm definitely stronger now though. My increased pain is in my shoulder blade and this sends shooting pain down my right arm. I had this problem before my surgery but not this bad. Now my leg has the same type of pain. My arm will also get very tingly. I've told all of this to the physical therapist but I'm still doing the same exercises. I've had an MRI of my neck done to check for herniated discs but they appeared fine. I'm going to see a neurologist next month for the arm pain/numbness and possibly an EMG of both arms. Does anyone else have these sort of problems? This pain has me really depressed lately. It's slightly worse than it was pre-op. I was not expecting this.
Thanks,
Shell
