지속적으로 통증이 반복되고 일상생활에서도 지장이 있다면 비용이 부담되시는 심정은 너무 공감되고 이해되지만 정확한 원인을 찾으시는게 먼저인 것 같아요. 어깨 통증이 손가락 저림까지 이어지는 거라면 너무 걱정되는 상황이네요..
(Concern) I'm worried about the pain in my right shoulder.
Even before, I had right shoulder pain, but it eventually went away. These days, even when I walk and swing my arms, my shoulder feels quite heavy and painful, making it quite difficult.
For example, if I spray water on a tree with a spray bottle, I have to keep pressing the spray button, which makes my arm hurt too much, and doing the same rolling motion repeatedly while washing my face is also very exhausting.
I'm receiving physical therapy for orthopedics, but I'm worried because I'm not getting better.
The orthopedic department says to get an MRI if I want an accurate diagnosis, but I'm worried because I don't have insurance.
Should I take the shot or wait a bit longer? ㅜㅜ
Last year, I also had a neck disc issue, and after taking an X-ray, I was told to get an MRI for a definitive diagnosis. I had the MRI and physical therapy, but the numbness extending to my fingers didn't improve much, so I received injection treatment at the pain medicine department.
I'm more worried because I went to a university hospital, got an injection, and after June passed, I felt better.
