Before the season, I was sitting at the EagleFest meeting at the Convention Center. Monken or McGillis or someone asked "who's got season tickets". I raised my hand, and had excruciating pain in my upper right arm. Like breathtaking pain. It subsided, but then when we were headed to the car, I turned my arm a "certain way" and I almost went to my knees.
That's been about 17 weeks or so ago.
The pain has been basically constant since then, but never on the level of the initial pain. A few weeks ago a nurse practitioner said it is tendinitis. I was convinced it was a torn rotator cuff.
It kills me at night. I wake up at least once an hour.
During the day, it may not bother me much all day long, unless I turn my arm a "certain way". Thing is, that "certain way" changes seemingly from week to week. Sometimes there's pain in the wrist, sometimes the shoulder, but 90% seems to be in the bicep area.
I got in from work at about 10:45 tonight. I was playing with the dog, who was excited to see me. I juked left, then planted my foot on a plastic coat hanger. Down goes Frazier. Hard. All 220 pounds fell forward, and I planted my right hand against the wall to break my fall. My shoulder exploded. I didn't really even feel the pain for a minute. I just couldn't breathe. I literally couldn't talk. Then the pain came in waves. My wrist hurts like hell, but my shoulder is like it's own little world of pain... new kinds of pain that I've not met before.
I have been taking 12 ibuprofen a day for about a month solid.
I'm wondering if I might have some sort of tumor or something. Sometimes it seems like tendinitis, but I just can't see 17 weeks of tendinitis.
Opinions?
Suggestions?
Prayers?
