Shoulder update

I've just been to see the physio about my shoulder. He reckons that the AC joint sprain is recovering nicely so has cancelled the cortisone injection I had scheduled for next week. Hurray! I'd heard worryingly painful things about cortisone injections. It hadn't filled me with confidence last week when the physio said that there was probably a 60% chance of getting the needle straight in first time between the bones, which is why they intended to do it with an x-ray and fluoroscope or something. I'm sure that means something to those of you with medical training.

The latest diagnosis now is that I may have a small fracture in my shoulder somewhere but the physio's not sure. I have an x-ray and ultrasound booked in for next Monday now so that they can see exactly what's going on.
