    Shouldering a burden 🙃

    Wheelie-walkering at my top speed to make it to the lavatory, and I stumble, and grab a bookshelf with my strong arm in a futile effort not to fall over.
    It was never going to end well.
    You probably already know about bladder control and MS.

    Wrenched my shoulder something awful. Lifting anything and wheelie-walkering hurts sooo much; however needs must.
    Neighbours must think there's a torture chamber next door. (All that cursing and the cries of pain.)

    I am just about surviving on anti-inflammatories and codeine.

    Anyhoo, Dr Google diagnosed a torn rotator cuff. And that's good enough for me.

            Thank you for the sympathy 😀. Much needed.
            Staggering about with a wheelie walker when your "good" arm doesn't work is an interesting experience.
            Had to go back to wall walking.
            Ouch, ouch, ouch.

              Slow down my friend!!!! I understand where you are coming from, as another MSer with bladder issues. You gave me a when you said your "neighbours must think they're living next to a torture chamber" - between my falling down, and dropping things (my hands/arms just can't hang onto things like they used to!), I too have to wonder what my neighbours think goes on upstairs from them.

              Sorry to hear about your shoulder, hope that you recover quickly! You'll be in my thoughts and I'm wishing you an uneventful recovery.

              Take care!

                So sorry about the shoulder.

                Are you going to have it checked out after the weekend?
                I'd think you'll need x-rays at the least, possibly an MRI to
                determine the extent of the damage?

                Shoulders are tricky, you need to get the right kind of treatment
                plan because you can make things worse trying to treat it yourself.

                Hope the pain calms down.

                  Ouch! Hope it's not torn. You may need some PT on it. Hope you are getting checked out soon.
