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
