I am so tired of this damned shoulder. It hurts *all* the time. There are very few things I can do that don't make it hurt worse.

admittedly, I'm getting a lot of knitting done (esp. if you count the stuff I've frogged), but not much else.

So I'll give you that the pain is a bummer... but hey, getting knitting done is a major plus anytime :)

Hope you feel better soon. BTW, Ive had arthritis in my back for about 14 years. 4 ibuprofen every 4 hours works ok (2 Celebrex a day works very well, but need new doc for those). In the winter, tho, I try not to move around too much... and knitting doesn't stress my back in any way.

I can't take ibuprofen (nsaids in general are a crapshoot as to whether they'll a)work at all, b)without nasty side effects); and as the prednisone had no noticeable effect, there's some doubt as to whether Celebrex would help. Currently, it's all muscle pain, and *nothing* works on it....

Back to the doc next week for followup, we shall see.

and while it is kind of neat to get a sweater half done in four days, there's all these other things that aren't getting done.
