Just got a medical beating

That's a little over the top. Let's say a very painful game of Twister with digital imaging. It seems no X-ray can be obtained without manipulating the damaged parts into the most excruciating positions, and the student who there couldn't just tell me how to position myself; she insisted on grabbing the most painful areas and yanking.

My prize for all this will probably be acromio-clavicular joint reduction and if I decide to go through with it, glenohumeral joint replacement. I'll be getting Platlet-Rich Plasma injections in a couple weeks for my elbow, since they're relatively sure what's causing all this damage probably isn't immune-mediated.

Just venting while I wait for the useless narcotics to sort of work. I'd kill for an NSAID if my arms worked better.
