Thank you for the write up. I've never heard of this condition before; every time I hear a new medical term, it either causes me pain or costs me money (or both). I think you just hit on my problem. I've had shoulder pain since the end of Jan. The Dr. and I thought it was a torn rotator cuff but that wasn't found on the MRI. He's sending me to PT on Friday and this describes exactly what has been going on. I'm diabetic, have had heart problems, COPD, and I might have memory loss, but if I do I don't remember lol! I also have a condition called arachnoiditis which sounds very similar. Tell your wife I wish her the best.
