I have been struggling with both neck and shoulder problems for over 2 years now. I have gone both through NHS and private routes. I have seen osteopaths, sports therapists, shoulder specialists.. I have been “diagnosed” with so many things (AC joint separation, weak rotator cuff, incorrect muscle patterning, instability) and each time I have bought into the rehabilitation and religiously followed the physiotherapists advice. I have had private Physio’s tell me they cannot figure out why I am not improving and basically say they have given up on me. I have had NHS Physio’s see me for 15 minute slots and send me off with exercises which have made my shoulder worse. I am really starting to struggle mentally because I am an incredibly active individual and can no longer do so. I have another NHS referral this coming Wednesday and I am honestly terrified. I do not want to go through another Physio basically giving up on me or giving me bad advice and end up in an even worse position now. I used to be a strong fit individual with a small niggle. I don’t think I have the strength to keep trying and failing.
I’m not really sure why I am writing this but any kind words or advice on how I should proceed? I know I will probably burst into tears on Wednesday trying to explain my situation to this new Physio
