Funny you should mention this because this morning I went back to bed with nasty shoulder pain, both upper arms, lower back and the cherry on top a 3/5 headache. Heat pads for the headache and shoulders as well as a couple of hours sleeping have dulled things. I was diagnosed with DISH two years back after a bone and CS. At first I thought the pain from my right shoulder was the dreaded Shoulder Cuff pain but DISH trumps all it seems. My father passed in 2006 from a Hospital induced morphine over dose, his choice. Prior to this he told me once that part of his burning pain was coming from his shoulders and neck which make me wonder if he had DISH. I’m also wondering if DISH is prevalent in more, lots more people and has been around since forever. Does anyone know what exactly is this thing, a virus, cancer, infection or something else like arthritis?
