I had a hospital appointment last Friday, and my physiotherapist's diagnosis got confirmed by a medical specialist; I am indeed suffering from "frozen shoulder". He sent me to radiology to get the shoulder thoroughly checked; I got the letter stating I am expected for an MRI scan on 9/11 - I kid you not. If the scan turns out clear (as in: no other damaged tissue or torn ligaments - or whatever those things are called in English) I'll have to make another - hopefully the last in a long, long time - appointment. I get anaestisized and then my shoulder will be "loosened" up. It will be excuciatingly painfull indeed (no, I am not looking forward to that), but I'll ask for painkillers for when the anaestesia wears off. My physiotherapist is glad I am going to get the treatment, since it will shorten the healing process of my shoulder. I'm told that even when the shoulder's healed completely I am not allowed to start working out for another three to four months. No bench pressing, no push ups, no weights... Dude, how am I supposed to keep it all tight? (I walk an avarage of 4 miles on a regular work day, but that's not enough.)
Oh, and how ironic: just last week my physiotherapist read the tattooed line on the inside of my left arm during a session "I wish I would never hurt again".
