Shoulder diagnosis

(A quick update from via Suzanne) Kim saw an Orthopedist from IL Bone & Joint yesterday. He did x-rays and an MRI. He diagnosed Kim with tendonitis, bursitis and a torn rotator cuff! No wonder it has been hurting her! He thinks it probably happened when she fell a while back. He gave her a cortisone shot and prescribed physical therapy. He is hoping that the rotator cuff tear with not require any surgery, given her plethora of other issues & slow healing problem. He will follow her progress and see if the tear gets any bigger. Kim was ELATED to have a diagnosis and plan all in one day!
