I am glad the ultra sound was clear: everything is healing up nicely. I'm told some swellings can stay on a while - so one thing less to worry about. Not that I did. I noticed the weird bump on my upper arm and swelling on my left clavicle only after almost six weeks.
The pain in my shoulder is not caused by a ripped muscle after all; the person who did the ultra sound yesterday thinks my rotator cuff needs to start making its own (natural) "lube" again and I'll be fine.
I picked up the X-rays at the hospital yesterday evening and my physiotherapist, Rob, had a look at it earlier today. He thinks the left clavicle stands on an (slightly) off angle, but since he's not sure he's going to consult about it.
I have no clue. I just hope the pain (and discomfort) will disappear soon, and to get the mobility back in my shoulder.
Today's physiotherapy session Rob took his time stretching the muscles in my left shoulder, while he let me talk about my travels and my travel plans. The stretching was very uncomfortable, and the fact that I was talking about one of my passions couldn't distract me from the worst pangs. He warned me he'd give me something to remember him by (till the next time). And he was right: the part from shoulder to elbow now feels as if a pick up truck drove over it. Mind you, I don't mind aching muscles after a proper work out. This is different.
Earlier at work I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers to welcome me back after a period of absence due to my shoulder. That was a nice surprise.
