This month I continued to heal from my shoulder procedure (January 2022) and learning to live with pain in my right shoulder.
I was also seriously ill with a viral stomach infection and had to rest due to the flu.
For those that don't know I've been living with painful shoulders for the past 5 years and PCOS/Endometriosis for the last 30 years.
During November 2017 I had my first rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder, and then a year later October 2018 I had the same surgery on my left shoulder.
After a few months of intolerable pain I was addmited to hospital to have a ruptured cyst removed 17th March 2020. This was my third polycystic ovarian surgery since 2004.
Its been a long 5 years of excruciating pain, sleepless nights and slow healing.
I still have bouts of low energy, pain and anxiety/panic attacks.
January 2022 was the month I finally had injections to relieve the pain in my left shoulder.
It's been a long 6 months of healing and I'm trying to keep positive, unfortunately I am experiencing pain in my right shoulder.
I have been to see an orthopaedic consultant this month.
Thank you to all my friends and family who pray for my recovery and good health.
