Rotator Cuff Injury

Today before work I went to the doctor. Now this is a big thing for me, I don't go the doctor very often. The last time I went to the doctor was when I almost died from my appendixs. But my right shoulder has been hurting for about the past two to three months. At first I just assumed it was a pulled muscle and would get better. Well, it hasn't. Whenever I lift my arm higher than my shoulder it hurts. And when I try to sleep on that side I feel pain. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it HURTS. So I finally decided I should go. Larry told me it was my rotator cuff. Now Larry used to be the team trainer for some different hockey teams, so he knows his medicine. And he was right. The doctor said it was my rotator cuff. He gave me a perscription and said we'd see it that works first. He made an appointment for me in two weeks, if it works I can call and cancel, if not than I go in. He also took some x rays. If the pills don't work it will probably mean surgery.
