@kodiac6919, Welcome Darin. I’ve got a shoulder for you, It’s a replacement, That OK? We have a group of folks with lots of experience as patients and caregivers. We are not medically trained, Just want to be available for sharing and supporting the members of Connect. Of all the approaches you have tried, what has been the most helpful? I hope you are doing a bit better than surviving. Are you currently working with a medical provider?
If you are comfortable, please tell us a bit more about you. Are you working? Have a family? I look forward to getting to know you a little better. Be safe and protected today. Chris

@kodiac6919 Good evening Darin. I see that you have attracted quite a few shoulders. Looks like you will be able to have your choice. I am wondering if you have been enlightened about some additional options/treatments for supporting your quality of life.
At this point do you have some questions or concerns? One way to stay ahead of the pain is to meet it halfway. I have found that MFR (Myofascial Release) does that for me. As the fascia in our bodies gets constricted and loses its fluidity, compression and restriction occur on the nerves. We all have fascial covering on every structure in our bodies.
To learn more about it we have a discussion page: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/ . There is also a great video on youtube titled "Strolling Under the Skin". Be comfortable and at ease tonight. Chris
