Long road with no answers

Apr 11, 2016


Woke up April 16, 2012 & could not lift my right arm. Shoulder had been a little sore, but nothing to cause non movement. Diagnosed with frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears, etc but after months of attempting rehab, passive stretching to active stretching, I hit a wall with the exercise bands & 1 lb weights. 1 Primary Care, 2 Orthos, & 5 Neuro doctors. 3 Cervical Spine, 2 shoulder, & 1 brachial plexus MRI's. Bloodwork & Urinalysis. Lost business of self employment as Architectural Services of over 20 years, lost health insurance, maxed out massive available credit & savings. 3 year SS Disability process. Onto Medicare in Fall of 2015 & back to medical care, but still no answers of definite diagnosis. Was given lots & lots of meds during those years but got off all it except pain med beginning of 2016 after substansial side effects. Wondering if the problem will ever be found or if there is no explanation. Still struggle daily with lack of strength, instable shoulder & pain.
