Well, the verdict is sort of in for my shoulder.
I say "sort of", because while I did get a voicemail from the doctor this evening letting me know that the MRI indicated that I'll be getting sent to a 'shoulder specialist' (read: orthopedist, most likely) ... the voicemail also said that I could return the call tomorrow or early next week, as it wasn't all that urgent.
Of course, I hear "refer to a specialist" and get a bit anxious. I know what happened the last time - and I've got 4 small scars to show for it, too. Now, I doubt that it'll be anything that extreme. If it were, I would've been asked to call back ASAP. Most likely, I may be going to an orthopedist for, at the worst, cortisone shots.
Still, it's kind of nice to know that there is an explanation for this pain. And good to know that it's not "all in my head" or something. It just sucks that I'll be hauling ass to another doctor to get it checked out. :-/
Ah well. I'll have a more definite answer tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm going to get to bed - I'm about to crash!
