Thanks ladies! I remember that thread Sandy....LOLOL. Now it's my turn I think. I complain, but it doesn't seem to help really. Your foot is all better now isn't it?

Hubby went to his doc last week, has tennis elbow (tendonitis). His symptoms are similar to yours.

Foot Doc said the break has attracted arthritis, so I'm still hobbling around, taking Advil like crazy. Med Doc doubled the BP meds and it's still not working, staying 140s/90s, so I go back next week to try something else.

Sorry, Janet. I had a year, about 2001, where I felt like I was falling apart. I was in the hospital three times. Once for anxiety and blood pressure, once with pneumonia, and another time for surgery. It was awful!!

You may have a little bit of inflamation setting in for some reason. Take some ibuprophen for a while and see if it helps.

It's not fun getting older.

If the pain is about right at the deltoid muscle (where you get a shot in the arm), it may be your rotator cuff. Stand with your arm hanging down by you side (fingers pointed down to feet). Now, bend the arm at the elbow without lifting it at the shoulder. Now raise your elbow (straight out away from your body) so that it is level with your shoulder.

Do you feel pain in that part of your arm where you would get a shot? If so, it could be your rotator cuff that is impinged. Have you pulled anything heavy in the past few days/weeks? Rotator cuff impingments do not show up sometimes till weeks after the initial injury. Often rotator cuffs hurt at night when you are in bed or just when you are sitting doing nothing - a sort of dull ache.

This may not be it at all, but it is an easy way to check for it.

Janet i got the answer!!
We need to go get drunk!!!
Believe me ,you won't feel any pain !!!!!

donna1990 · 02-17-2009, 11:43 AM

I hope it is not her rotary cuff, that is painful.
Yes, maybe we need to get drunk and forget the pains for awhile.
I have had to go back on Vicodin, only take one every day or so when I can live with the pain any longer.
Getting old is not fun.

Can you see me standing up doing as you instructed?...LOLOL It's not that...no pain so far. I just don't know what it is, but I think I'm going to take an ibuprofen or a muscle relaxant tonight and see if maybe that will help. If not, I'll continue to take the ibuprofen for a few days and see. I need to start remembering what the heck I do that could cause an injury. My mother seems to be in better shape than me...LOLOL

gja1000 · 02-18-2009, 03:12 PM

Well, I'm glad to hear there is no pain - no matter how silly you looked testing it!

Hope it gets better soon!

Janet · 02-18-2009, 03:29 PM

Thanks Gayle....don't know what we'd do without you!!
