55. I had something similar

Middle age woman with shoulder pain, Hashimoto’s disease, menopause and tried to get me to raise my arm. I said I can’t. I couldn’t sleep either. The pain woke me up. Diagnosis: Frozen shoulder. They finally gave me a shot of cortisone as I tolerated that treatment before. That was in March. Pain returned 3 months later, only worse. Surgeon appt In November, I was finally told, oops, after your CT scan, I had a torn tendon! Surgery in January. Because of my intolerance to opioids, it took 2 years before I could function normally. It’s like 1/4 of my body was paralyzed.
