My right shoulder is a pig!
It's all so confusing!
I'm in a funny spot because I have a great range of movement until there is any weight behind it or it takes a backwards/forwards motion and/or a scissor like motion.
I can't wear a hand bag on my right shoulder.
I tried to do some very light gardening for about 30 minutes during a sunny day last week and my shoulder and parts of my upper arm burned for about 24 hours afterwards.
I also tried some limited vacuuming last week just to test my limits, and the same thing happened, no matter how lightly I tried to do it. I'm not game try cleaning the bath as I know I can't scrub a thing at all.
At the same time I can dust and wipe tables and things.
Nina helps me heaps around the house too(hanging out the washing and bringing it in etc.) when she can too.
The Physio says that he thinks over time he can make me a bit stronger. I have weight training to do in addition to his other exercises now. My shoulder hurts all the time now, and also, parts of my tricep.
My GP is on holiday until today, so I'll follow up on referrals and stuff today.
Essentially my doctors feel that I should be very happy about my range of movement and that I may be able to do other things in the future, but right now I need to accept that I have some physical limitations. I have sussed that dull pain is freezing and burning pain is the joint, which has helped with Physiotherapy a fair bit, though I think any freezing of the shoulder is probably right inside my shoulder joint now- its certainly not in the frozen parts of my bicep or elbow any more.
I'm also keeping a headache diary at the Physio's request.
I had a sublime moment a few days ago. I was lying on the trampoline, the sun was shining and I watched a few clouds skid across the sky. All I could see was the tree tops and the sky. It was perfect!

Look at how far you've come in a relatively short time.
Keep on fighting, girl. You are a game, tough, lady.
