I got the results of my MRI yesterday: partial thickness tear of my rotator cuff. The PA I’ve been seeing wanted me to see the surgeon in 1-2 weeks. At checkout, they had an appointment in mid August. I explained that I’m done with work for the summer starting Friday & go back on September 5th. She found an appointment for July 20 something….I said that doesn’t work due to work. All of a sudden, an appointment was available this morning.
I mentioned my three numb fingers; asked if that is my carpal tunnel or the shoulder. He said, it’s not the shoulder. He suggested getting that fixed while I’m under anesthesia. Fifteen minutes later, I met with the hand surgeon.
I am having both the shoulder surgery & carpal tunnel release on July 20th, unless they get an earlier cancellation.
