pm now after out of town for two job, aches a lot. shoulder has ache, but not the sharp pain of a month ago. knee is painful in back left, like a ruber band that is twisting in side. it's all worse than this morning and and in the past few weeks. down my arm and into my elbow shows the worse pain. had some things in my elbow I haven't felt in a while, it seems to connect from back of arm/shoulder to elbow and burns and sometimes spikes with specificic areas. I've got these pinted areas where it hurts most, back upper outside of elbow joint, . It's more than what it appears, perhaps I over did it in thereapy and with work the last few days:( But why is the pain and weaknes in my arm and leg pain like my my initial symptiomsof months ago?). It was suggested at last PT that I consider another cortisone shot to get some reduction in inflamation, it's the only thing that has seemed to work from my point of view. I find myself limping around ion the leg a lot lately. with all these issues and no answers, it its difficult.

Today was a bruiser. Hurts much more now than last nite.
I hate it when things go downhill. It must be the heavy lifting in bad positions and such that aggravates my condition, I've gotten the same thing in PT when overdoing it. From the looks of it I won't be getting to PT anymore without additonal referals as a requirement. Checking up on my followups and such, but seems likely that I'll have to just live in pain every day

shoulder aches quite a bit, some pain in elbow. Dr. Hoffman suspects I have tear in my rotator cuff, he has a plan to find out and fix it. My leg around knee hurts almost all the time now, but not like the arm does.

Hurts more in shoulder than last nite. starting to creep over the shoulder. knee is worse than the last few weeks , hurting every day and worse with use every day ; The irritation inlower left limb is almost continuous now, and I am favoring it more and more ( this is bad sign for me, because I can imagine this leading to balance problems ]physically] and even causing lower back problems). Taking full dose of meds now, and occasional over dose of Neurotin (600 to 1200 mg Neurotin). Adding ibuprofin as neccessary and apropriate, which I am tonight. 3 x 200mg so far. I DON'T LIKE LIMPING AROUND. Sceduled PT this week, per Dr, but was unable (Mon, take off early because a few day of extended hours expected, but no time to schedule; tues schedule full, but then changed - worked past five; Wed.s techical problem, worked into the evening; Thurs, same as tuesday [6 service/admin events in the field ). I'm cooking dinner and limping around now..
