I see you saying you use a waist belt for dog walking. I have had a fantastic experience with the LifeHandle leash system. It is a cross-body setup, that leaves your hands free, but does have loops that you can grab for closer control. I walk with one (sometimes two) crutch(es), and needed something that allowed me to still walk my dog. It's designed for runners, but it has given me back some freedom. I especially like how stable I remain, no matter what my dog is doing.
Thanks for sharing the stages of your shoulder journey. Hopefully everything continue to stay on track!
May I ask, do you think the nerve decompression had any correlation to a later onset of worse pain and weakness? I'm asking due to a possible upcoming decompression surgery elsewhere on the body - so I'm really just asking conceputally! And did the decompression involve shaving/removing any type of bone or cutting any nerves? Thank you!
I was just diagnosed with scapular dyskinesis and it’s ruined my life. following being bed bound from failed back surgery in September 2023, my muscles atrophied and now I can’t sit upright without going into level 9-10 pain. I’m still struggling to find a pain doctor who will treat me consistently so I can learn to move again so I can get back to work one day helping my own patients. Unfortunately I no longer have confidence in my previous specialty of patient advocacy as I’ve learned things have changed a lot and most doctors don’t care to treat pain anymore and instead treat patients like criminals no matter how good they are at advocating for themselves.
