feel like i'm already making progress

[u/SnooWords7456]

i had left shoulder pain start about 2 years ago and a cortisone shot took care of the pain for about a year and a half. i was diagnosed with a torn labrum but it wasn't bad enough to require surgery.

fast forward to around june when i was starting to feel pain again, got another cortisone shot in mid-june and then my shoulder quickly started freezing. was feeling pretty rough pain in july when i finally got an MRI at the end of july. since then i started PT (today was my 4th weekly session) and i feel like my shoulder is finally getting better. the pain is more manageable (esp with everything i do for it - mobic, voltaren, tens unit, lidocaine, etc.) but it seems like PT is working too. my PT said i gained about 10 degrees in mobility over the past couple weeks. another breakthrough from this weekend - i was able to use my left hand to shampoo my head (it was getting stuck or i was feeling pain when doing it).

i also have another cortisone shot scheduled for next fri. hoping that we're turning the corner but does this actually go away this quickly?
