anybody kow a physical therapist, or know one with spare time?

When I lift either arm forward or out to the side, it hurts like like helll.

My doctor told me that that the top of the bone was too close to the shelf and to swing a 5# weight forward and back like a pendulum. It hurts like hell now after 2-3 weeks, even worse, and I can't afford the copay on a physical therapist.

Any ideas?

Tell your PT that you can't afford the co-pay. Many PT's and DC's will waive the co-pay to keep you as a patient. My DC has an open policy that if you dedicate to them, they will work within your budget.

Thanks. I'll call one of the places that the insurance company recommended. I always assumed that they would have a copay, but maybe not.

That pendulum exercise is stupid. I'm sure the doctor was doing his best, but I can barely lift a glass of water anymore.
