Thanks Steph, I asked my onc about getting rid of it once before and he said where do you stop cutting? Then he said no one would do it anyway, this was a while back so I will see what he has to say on Tuesday, I would be glad to get rid of it, it is getting really hot over here in OZ and I get a rash under it at times and it just hangs like a big PawPaw (I think you call it Papaya) and I can't even wear a bra with my shoulders. As for the shoulder, still no closer to knowing what is wrong with it, I am on pain meds around the clock, and boy does my body know the clock, problem is my slow release stops about an hour before it should so it mucks up my drug regime because I take 1 Ibrufen, 1 neurontin and 2 panamax (Paracetemol) and it kicks it just about straight away then I have 2 panamax every 4-5 hours, I even wake in the night for them and I also have another neurontin at lunch time, how long I will have to put up with this I don't know, I have another MRI on March 8 and then see the orthoepaedic specialist after that, all I know is my original bad shoulder with the avascular necrosis is now my good one I have to use my left arm to raise my right arm and apparently my Braxis whatever it is called is normal on the other MRI, to look at me you would think I have had a mild stroke, I am numb from the top of the ear down the neck to the top of my shoulder and just down a bit and my right eye doesn't open as wide as my left one, it is definately a facial atrophy which could also be linked to my connective tissue mixed of course I could just have one but the sclerderma bit, my heart picked up on it in 2003, I read this in my file a couple of months back, I didn't even realise then that I had that look about me, I must be needing stronger glasses, but at least I can still type with my elbows pressed against my sides. I will keep you informed.
Love & Hugs Lyn
