My physiacal therapy ended mid-March because I platued.At that time I could raise the arm to 150degrees and sideways up was at 140.Since then,Ive been going in on an independent program(which was going alright)till like a month ago. Also did stretches,etc at home.The past month or so Ive been having alot of rib pain(a new pain) and been slowly losing range and getting worse by the day.Since I was in PT for 3 years prior,I can figure what Im at now.The raising the arm Im around the 90 degree area and sideways appox 85degrees.What is happening??? The pain in the whole upper extremity has been terrible.This is a work related injury and in the lawyers hands fighting over the PPD percentage,etc.When I try to raise the arm,it sounds weird ...........but it feels like a muscle is popping up and stopping me from getting more range.I want to go back to the doctor who releasded me in March,but then theres all the work comp issues to(them thinking theyre done with me for this injury)Im SO CONFUSED!!Any input is greatly appreciated.
