<DIV><FONT size=2>Help! Anyone got experience with a BAD case of =
bursitis in
your tuning shoulder? Aspirin, Advil, and a new anti-flammatory (200mg =
once a
day) are not cutting it. I'm out of commission until this gets fixed, =
if it
can be. Experience with cortosone shot? I seem to remember hearing =
that it's
more painful than the never ending throb in the shoulder itself! I'm
cancelling tuning appointments as after the one I did Friday, I have =
virtually
NO use of my right arm. Heating pad, aspirin, etc. are seeming to have =
no
effect. This has plagued me for 2 or 3 years but has never been this =
bad - did
I wait too long? After 3 days of being able to do nothing than =
download movies
from the dish and fight with the heating pad, I'm about ready to go =
for an
amputation from the neck down - above that point seems to be the only =
working
part and there are those that will argue that point. Any suggestions =
greatly
appreaciated before I make an appointment tomorrow. Hey. =
Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
