Hey all, I’m back again. No one is sorrier about that than me. I’m working with a new therapist and trying a different approach to get over my traumas. I hope it will be good in the end, but for the time being, my health anxiety is flaring.
My current issue has to do with my left shoulder and hands. I plan on seeing a doctor about these things. I just can only take so many doctor visits at a time.
Here’s a little background. My left shoulder hurts. It isn’t bad pain, but it has hurt for a long time. I have knee arthritis and it is most problematic and I’ve been trying to deal with that first.
What scares me is that sometimes I try to lift my left arm and it just doesn’t move. I usually try again and it moves, sometimes stiffly, but it moves. I have the same problem with my hand. I over crocheted for a new grand baby, and both my hands were really hurting for about two weeks. They are still hurting a little, but are much better overall. Today I tried to grip a glass and it took a second try.
Has anyone experienced this kind of thing? I don’t even know what to worry about. It just seems like a really significant symptom. Or, am I just 60 years old now and things aren’t working quite as smoothly?
