Beyond frustration

The injection so far hasn't seemed to do much of anything to my body. Last night I thought perhaps I had less pain in my neck, but that is probably because my shoulder was killing me it was taking all the attention away. This morning I have pain in my neck and also stabbing pain in my shoulder. I never heard back again from Dr. P about what to do w/ exercising at home so I've not done anything as when I was in PT they told me to not do anything if I was in pain. I am so confused. Granted I've heard it could take another week or so for the injection to kick in but yes, I'm slightly impatient. (At this point I have a right to be, it's been 8 weeks of this crap!) The pain in my neck does seem a bit higher today though and not in the joint where they injected it. I'm losing my mind. Part of me thinks I should call Dr. Kelly up and have him check out my shoulder, perhaps it is surgical after all, but then again, there's nothing I could do until after October because of my trip. I go back to see Dr. Ahmed on the 6th August, perhaps he'll have some ideas then. My head is spinning, as was the rest of my insides this morning when I had a massive blood pressure drop from out of nowhere. I hate when that happens. Feeling a bit better now but just want to rest, not be sitting in the office uncomfortably.
Ok, I am done with the whinging for now. I just want my life back!
