Finally a complete spinal ex ray series was done. The top of the spine is xrayed through your mouth. Anyway, what it revealed was that I have what is called a first rib. It seems that about 1 in a hundred people have this. It is one extra rib that come off the spine at the top..2nd vertebrae. It extends into the area of the should blade. Now, this is t a problem u less you do something that causes the muscles in that area to experience trama. Then the muscle swells up...but there is t much room because of the rib. And..boy does it hurt!
I had seriously over-exerted myself. Which are the roots cause of everything else
Lesson for the other people like me....maintain your muscle strength....or...if you go to flab over the winter...start S L O W in the spring to build back up.
But I'd have it checked out--for sure, Frozen shoulder---ow, ow, ow!!
