Marcia,

When I had my last PET/CT the only thing that "glowed" was the area between the ball and socket on my shoulder. On top of that, apparently there was a pinched nerve, and pulled rotator cuff tendons. if I moved the wrong direction, WOW!!! And this didn't show up until over a year and a half after surgery.

Pinched nerve and tendonds have quieted down, but still not much range of motion out from the side. Im not keen on doing what your husband did, though sounds like that could hurt a LOT!!.

May see what local chinese medicine has to offer, will keep you posted on that one.

Bob
