    That's wonderful, Catrin. So glad you found someone who can help and that it appears that all your issues are muscular. Those can be fixed. Yippee!

    The treatment is....brutal.... but it is necessary. He hasn't ripped my arm off and it doesn't hurt afterwards - he knows what he is doing and he DID warn me that it would have to be a very aggressive application of ART. I am a tough old bird SO thankful I resisted the MRI idea and decided to go this route, it just seemed so apparent that it was something like adhesions (apparently I've a lot of them) rather than something like a torn labrum or cuff. The referred nature of the pain is apparent, it's been amazing to see what hurts in my upper arm when he is doing things to a very different part of my body! He warned me about that beforehand.

    I am SO thankful! I am actually going to try and ride a little this weekend to see if some of my symptoms on the bike have moderated - I've seen so many changes after only 2 treatments! He did say what some would have recommended placing me under a general and addressing everything at once...YIKES!!!!
