so i will be going in for surgery on my shoulder tomorrow morning. and no i haven't told anyone because i don't really talk about my ailments, i don't want to be reminded of the agony i'm in sorry.

for 6 months i've been in this absolute agony and the doctor first thought it was tennis elbow. so he gave me 3 shots in my elbow. i thought it worked but i was misled. the pain was still there.

i have been taking pain killers for all these months now until i said to my doctor enough i can't take anymore. so he sent me this orthopedic surgeon who took xrays. this dude points out to the computer screen and says, "there's the problem." well i still to this day have no clue what he was pointing out to. i saw bones but nothing else. he then tells me to exercise. still the pain persists.

so i go back to my doctor and tell him, no this fool didn't know what he was talking about i need to see a specialist. off i go see an orthopedic specialist. he examined my shoulders and asks me what is this bone here, this was my left shoulder. so i say, my shoulder and laugh. he did a scan and then looked at the xray. he says "oh no this isn't right, you have an extra bone in your shoulder." :wtf: so i ask him where did this bone come from? he says to me "you were born with it and it hasn't given you problems all this time, now that you are older it's causing problems and your shoulder is now inflamed. this must be removed."

i said to him, maybe it was my twin that was there while i was in my mother's womb, and laughed. :D

so tomorrow is the day i have this alien bone removed. i can't wait this pain has been unbearable.

So not only did you take your adams ribs but his shoulder bone as well...

Good luck with the surgery and enjoy the few days off afterwards.

Only saw this thread now. Hope all went well and that it really was an 'alien' bone that pestered you. Good luck with the recovery.
