The Benefit of falling all the way down the stairs

posted on September 16, 2017

Over the last four months, my shoulder arm and neck have been subject to intense pain. I have taken painkillers, muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories and a cortisone shot to the shoulder.

The Doctor warned me that the cortisone shot is painful, but I did not flinch. In fact, I knew it went in but it is no different than the constant pain in the shoulder, and what I feel in the arm most of the time.

Two weeks went by, and I fell on the steps going to my basement. I came down on the third step and went all the way down to the bottom.

I now have a huge bruise on the right hip, but more importantly, I lost 90% of the pain in my shoulder and almost all pain in the neck and the arm.

Three big pops came out of the shoulder over the next 24 hours. I panicked when I heard and felt the first one, thinking that excruciating pain is on the way, but it did not happen. The second and third brought additional comfort.

I go in on Monday for the MRI to determine what is next, and I will be happy to be rid of this problem.

No, I am not going to intentionally fall down more stairs to get rid of the rest of the pain! I admit, the thought came to mind.

So, if you have shoulder pain I am not advocating to fall down the stairs, but just saying it did wonders for me.

I will be excited to have my shoulder, arm and neck issues out of the way.
