Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks, Kate, for the update. I will continue to pray for your shoulder and PT! --Mr. Dana F. Utz utzdana@... -------------- Original message -------------- From: katelloydkidz@... Hello there all! I had my 2nd opinion yesterday, and I want to thank everyone who thought of me and/or who prayed for me! The doc agreed with me that PT should come BEFORE surgery! SO, he wrote a script for 2-3 x/wk for 6 wks, then follow-up in 4 wks with him or other (1st doc). I opted to go back to him as we see eye to eye. I saw PT for eval. today. Same PT place as vestibular rehab, so we know one another which is great! iced my shoulder and gave me electrical stim. which relaxed me, then checked my range of motion. She warned me that PT will not fix a torn rotator, but will put me in a better place to have the surgery. Just wanted to let you all know that! love to all, KatePlease visit: http://www.bicycleman.comawesome guy, fantastic site. All types of bicyles, many recumbents; perfect for an MS Bike Tour!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Me too Sharon! I hope the PT is all I need, but it is too early at this time to tell. I just know I'd like to be able to do daily living things like putting on my shirt and bra without any pain. Play badminton, swim and kayak again! love to you and all in our wonderful group, Kate rotator cuff updateHello there all!
