I had this injury years ago... pushed myself too far doing Yoga once. It takes a long time to heal... and even then, some need surgery (I didn't, but it took almost a year). So take it easy and give yourself time to heal.<br />Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-1865239216860411112014-07-25T10:21:29.838-04:002014-07-25T10:21:29.838-04:00I am really sorry to read about your pain.

I hope that you can ease into healing somehow. Definitely cut back doing anything with it for a while, and then gradually move through those exercises...torn things need to mend slowly, wherever they may be. Just wish you are able to do a little bit of clay work whenever you feel up to it.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-58518326595180985302014-07-24T18:59:10.582-04:002014-07-24T18:59:10.582-04:00Doggone it Linda..just Doggone it to heck and back...Doggone it Linda..just Doggone it to heck and back!! I was keeping good thoughts for you that it would not come to this. It's just the pits! I hear you about the insurance. Hubby being self-employed, he and his partner pay a great deal for insurance as it is. They both turned 60 a few weeks ago...guess what, their insurance went up $500. a month!! They also have an incredibly high deductible. Fortunately, I have Medicare, but many Drs. won't accept it anymore. Isn't it interesting they would charge you double if you had insurance!! I hope you can get better somehow, with gentle exercise..do let us know about the Kaiser thing.

I have Kaiser HMO and as Michele suggests go to their link. It is all better with no surgery, no shots, thank goodness, through exercise/stretches and hot/cold compresses and Motrin.

My uncle just had surgery for his rotator cuff and he's still hurting a few weeks later.<br /><br />Can't you submit your receipts to your insurance company yourself? A lot of practitioners are basing fees on who submits the paperwork since it's so time consuming for them to deal with your insurance company. So you save money by doing the work yourself but the amount you paid still goes toward the deductible.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-65989967163606163282014-07-24T15:36:53.275-04:002014-07-24T15:36:53.275-04:00This is not fun; it happened to my brother-in-law ...This is not fun; it happened to my brother-in-law after forty years of moving 55 gallon drums.<br />My insurance was 2500 deductable when I was in my fifties and sixties, but rose to five or six toward the end.
