You're not going to believe this, but I called my incompetent GP and got a referral, which was for a general surgeon whose office is near my apt. And got an appt for Weds, hurrah.

I wish I knew why I was so resistant to calling the orthopedic surgeon the PT god suggested. I feel like I'm wasting his heap-big time with my itty-bitty shoulder issue. I mean, the dude who went to med school 50 years ago says it's a fat deposit, the anatomy dork who listens to me bitch about it in exquisite detail (and yet keeps listening bc he's a masochist) says it's a really awful case of bursitis. I figure the general surgeon can handle either, hm? (My sister thinks I should see an oncological something or other, but then there's a reason she's not the person I want making my medical decisions and I've told everyone in my family so.)

I had some cutting remark about the fellow I've been chatting up on OkCupid, but I can't remember it and I'm late for Crossfit. Time to see if some power cleans will make my shoulder feel better.

Edit: why is it always the fugliest guys who are the most looksist?

Edit2: The instructor was kawaii with his flummoxed expression at my complete inability to grok the hang clean, but ultimately I'm unconvinced today made me stronger. There'll be a poll question about this soon, oh yes.

IANADoctor however... I'd be willing to bet at least $5 that your GP is wrong and it's not a lipoma - generally they don't hurt. Anatomy dork could easily be right, although there are other possibilities too. I probably would get a second opinion from that orthopedic surgeon.

My current theory is that it's sitting on a nerve? or something, bc the pain seems to be a muscle(s) that never relaxes.

My (general) surgeon thought it odd that it hurts most when I go running.
