B3 Fight Fun Stuff

It Is Finished!!

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

Today I returned to the Oncologist for my check up. I have gained a pound and the visit went well. I will begin taking the new medication called Arimidex which I will continue taking for the next 5 years. This of course will be monitored closely due to the side effects that come with taking it. Dr. Murphy asked how my shoulder pain has been and we discussed physical therapy. He thinks that I may need to see an orthopedic surgeon to have the scar tissue broke to allow the shoulder to move and begin rehabilitation/movement due to it being so painful the way it is now. My eyes of course got as big as cantalopes when the word "surgery" was mentioned.


I have been going to Physical Therapy two times a week now for several weeks and doing home exercises in an effort to see some improvement on the shoulder. Sunday night was a clear indication that things were not "improving" when nothing I did made the angry nerve endings happy. Time certainly will tell.

Tomorrow I go for my epidural injection for my lower disc. Hoping for some needed relief on that spectrum once it's done.

Thanksgiving is just around the bend as well as Christmas. Hard to believe this year is almost over. Thank you B3 Fighters for your continued prayers.
