I have some tendentious and arthritis in both of my shoulders but I had
that before I was injured five years ago. When my shoulders are sore I
have my caregiver give me a massage with their hands and stick
there thumbs in the sore spot as hard as possible. This makes me
want to leap out of the chair but when they are done I'm pain-free. If my
shoulders feel a little stiff or sore I will also have been used a massager on
me and that really helps. I have my caregivers do some light to range of
motion every now and then but I prefer the massages to keep everything
loose.
I seem to have a lot of the same pain and sensation that several people on
this list have but I must have a higher pain tolerance than others because the
sensations and pain only remind me that I am alive. I do have Diazepam
that my doctor prescribed for me to accent my Baclofen for spasms but I only use
it to help me sleep every few blue moon's. I request only 50 pills per
prescription and I usually end up throwing away 30-40 or sometimes more every
couple of years or when I go to my yearly visit to the doctor, if I remember to
take them along.
