I mentioned in my last entry that my shoulder was bothering me. Yesterday morning, it was bothering me a LOT. So much for thinking this ache would go away on its own. Luckily for me, an orthopedic group in town is one of my clients. I called and despite being booked, they got me in. After some x-rays and tests, the consensus was that I had tendonitis in my left shoulder rotator cuff. For now, treating it involves some anti-inflammatory medication and some physical therapy. The x-rays didn’t show there was any arthritis involved (THANK GOD) or anything else abnormal.

My drumming shouldn’t be affected as I don’t raise my left arm high enough or in a direction to cause me any pain.  Hope I’m back to 100% soon with my left arm regardless though.

Okay - back to work.
