About three years ago I was being treated for pain in my shoulder due to an incident with a patient. About two years ago I had pain in my shoulder that it was causing a lot of pressure in my chest and ended up in the hospital with my blood pressure 190 over 110 and was treated with medication for hypertension and plavix to prevent s troke.  About one year ago, I was still having pain in my left shoulder and was given a cortisone shot and it was determined that I had a tear my rotator cuff, but they thought that the problem was because of my spinal cord and received 2 epidermal shots.  I am again having pain n my left shoulder was given another cortisone shot to help with the pain, sent for an MRI and they found a cyst deep in the shoulder and I was given two injections to see if this would help with the pain.  The doctor told me that if the needle did not work that i would have to microscopic surgery so they can go in the shoulder and clean out the cyst, but I don't know if I want them to do because of what one fears when they do test. I know that I trust God, but I need some support.  Every time I say to my husband that my arm hurts, he says his arm hurts, too

Have you read the words of Desiderata? It applies so much common sense and inspiration to life. One o fthe lines says 'Do not distress yourself with imaginings'

Please find the strength to get done what needs to be done. You will wear yourself out with worrying about what could turn out to be something very straightforward. If it does turn out that your fears are justified, the sooner you know the sooner you can start dealing with it and the better the outcome will be, and the less time you will have spent weakening yourself with worry.

You trust in God. I know you have the strength to do this. God will give you the strength you need. Keep positive.

Good luck. Be strong.
