Thought I'd try the OT boards for some medical advice.
I've been experiencing some pretty bad shoulder pain for the last 6 months or so. If I sleep on it wrong, move it the wrong way, etc. Doing even a single push up causes a searing pain down my arm.
History
I got an initial MRI that I was told showed mild tendinitis. Got a cortisone shot and did a month of PT. That helped just a little to alleviate the pain, but not much. Went to get a 2nd opinion and was told the same, got another shot. I don't think the 2nd Dr. even looked at the film, just parroted the report he was given. I finally had someone else look at the MRi and it showed "severe" tendinitis.
I'm thinking of trying massage, acupuncture, even some other more recent things i have heard of:

anyone have any knowledge or experience with either of these treatment options?
thanks in advance!!
