Small set back

3 weeks after my procedure I took a little trip to the coast and camped in my van. It was lovely. But I started getting a new pain in the end of my rt clavicle and the top of my rt shoulder. A week later as it had gotten worse and I was only making it hurt more trying to do my physical therapy I visited my orthopedist Dr. Dillingham at SOAR in Tedwood city. He ordered a MRI. Over the next few weeks my pain got worse and I started having pain in my upper thigh that later moved to my calves and got so bad I could not walk for a few minutes when I got out of bed or a chair. I was also no have tremors over my entire upper body. I went to my primary doctor who put me on Ativan and ordered blood labs. Like Magic the Ativan worked and my leg pain and tremors stopped. I also started treating my shoulder pain with a lidocaine patch. I guess I'm so use to being in pain my not treating it allowed my body to go into shock causing me the issues with my legs and the tremors. I should have known better. Now I'm waiting to get a call to go see Dr. Dillingham and find out what he has planned for my rt shoulder pain. At least I'm stable and this two shall pass.
