2 years ago, I fell while trimming my crepe myrtles.
You can read the story here. Maybe good for a laugh or two:

So I fell and noted over a two month period my shoulder got worse and worse. I had to use my left hand to hold my right hand up to change the radio station in my car. That's true
I kept waiting it out thinking it is going to heal.
8 months later it had healed but not all the way.
I go to a PT guy and it sort of works but when I stop, it comes back
I go get an MRI which comes back inconclusive. He did say two of my bones that should form a straight line connect in more of a V shape making me more susceptible to pinched nerves, etc
He gives me what the medical industry must call the hell-fire injection deep in my shoulder. It did nothing to help but 2 hours after the shot I had to go home from work. Literally 36 years old and tears in my eyes from the pain of the shot.
slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwly, the shoulder has gotten better and better but never fully recovered. It recovered enough that I rarely think about it. I can do whatever and never have pain beyond a 1 or 2
Over the last 3 months, it has slowly been coming back. As of late, it is pretty bad.
If I move it in specific places, I get shooting pain on the outside of the arm from the shoulder to 1/2 way down to the elbow.
I haven't done anything physically to aggravate it.
So what would most people do?
Do I go get a 2nd MRI, Seek exploratory surgery, Faith healer?
If any docs here want, I will gladly upload the MRI photos. They are pretty awesome. I dunno, I need to do something but not sure what the next logical step should be.
