Undiagnosed Autoimmune Disease - No one will listen to me

@anniebrook - My experience is probably totally different from yours, but I gave birth to my second child in April 1983. Turns out I damaged my right shoulder pushing the baby out! It’s still a problem.
About the same time I was diagnosed with 2 disintegrated cervical discs that causes right arm weakness.
I hope your upcoming MRI will give you some answers that will lead to pain relief.
My daughter lives in Sweden with a similar health system as Canada. She has spent years trying to get help for chronic pain and exhaustion- so far nothing.

Weird that we both gave birth in 83,you in April, me in May and that we both got bad right shoulder pain .Mine came on about 5 hrs post pushing and I too still have problems. 2 scoping surgies later it was noticed that I had an 'old' slight Rotator Cuff tear that had probably caused all my yrs off pain.The surgeon said having it fixed would probably cause more trouble than I have with it now.I am CONVINCED this is what started my almost 40 yrs pain journey. When I heard a friend of mine the other week say "O'h no I don't go for a massage because of pain I just like it,I don't have any pain" I have never had any jealousy but of anything usually but now I realise I am jealous of people without pain. Pain has robbed me of everything I have wanted to to do with my family.
