Will someone please amputate my left shoulder??

Think I may have torn my rotary cuff. My shoulder has been in pain on and off the last couple of weeks. I thought nothing of it with the work I do, which can involve heavy lifting. Today, while walking through Home Depot, I got to the point where it was painful enough to stop me in my steps. I couldn't even move. I'm about to have what we call a cocktail. Both ibuprofen and gabapentin. That should get me through the night. *sigh*

Got back from Doc. Agrees about the torn rotary cuff, also suggested tendinitis. Gave me a shot of Toredol to ease up the inflammation, and called in a prescription. I don't remember just what. Staff is calling my insurance to approve my MRI. I will go back in to see Doc on Thursday for a check up.

Crap, I'm so sorry. I hope the insurance comes through.
