First tooth and shoulder issues
Claire officially has her first tooth. Her bottom front tooth has now broken the surface. Good times… although it hasn’t caused a problem with nursing yet. I will keep my fingers crossed.
I went to Dr. Payne (the orthopedist) this morning. He gave me a cortisone shot in my shoulder and some exercises to do daily in the shower. I will also have to go to physical therapy 3 times/ week for the next 3 weeks and then I have a followup scheduled for the 25th. Sigh… Lets add that up, in copays that will be 275 dollars over the next 3 weeks. Urgh. For now the diagnosis is adhesive capsulitis. Causes of adhesive capsulitis include hypothyroidism. Since I’m not over 40, diabetic, or suffering from osteoperosis I’m thinking that is the likely cause. I’m beginning to worry about my ultrasound with Dr. Silverman in september. Hopefully it will com back clean.
