I'm falling apart

[cjsmith]

My right shoulder is earnestly (though slowly) trying to disassemble itself. The medial end of the collarbone is on walkabout, and out at the actual shoulder, what I suspect is the biceps tendon keeps jumping the groove. I put that back with a weird hand-on-hip, back-up-to-a-wall maneuver, which if successful generates a mildly painful and audible pop before things feel a little better. The arm is weak in certain directions. There's a very low grade ache all the time. When things clank around in there, either near the sternum or at the shoulder, it effing hurts.

I am so over it. It's been ages. I'm ready to get this dealt with. So despite COVID, I'm seeking some elective medical care.

X rays showed nothing. I didn't think they'd show the soft tissue injury, but I'm surprised they didn't notice where the collar bone had got to! But at least going in for that nearly-useless diagnostic has purchased me the right to an orthopedic appointment. That'll be Tuesday.

Bodies. sigh

I agree, BODIES.
I managed to reset my hips last night after the flexiril started to kick in and gentle slow torso twisty stretches.

The whole thing is DIY physical therapy, feels like. Maybe it's just being a battered dinged up fifty-something...
