For the past several weeks I've noticed a dull ache in the area of the right shoulder joint. It's most often noticeable when I'm lying down in bed but it can occur at other times of the day. It's discomfort rather than pain. I've put some dencorub on it once or twice with some relief. Naturally I'll be monitoring the condition but at this point there doesn't seem any great cause for concern.
My thymoma has definitely continued to worsen and is affecting my lungs now, presumably thorough pressure of the expanding mass on the organ. I've occasionally had "heartburn". Sabina did some healing on the area and noticed that my condition had worsened significantly. It's now over five years since I first noticed the problem so it's unlikely to kill me anytime soon but it's definitely not going away and its spread is gradually causing mild but worsening effects on surrounding organs.
The tiny but annoying spot on the my left ear is also not going away. It gradually rises and becomes sensitive before falling off and becoming unnoticeable for a time until the process repeats. The other sensitive area on the right side of my lower back is slowly becoming active again. My treatment of the area with a cortico-steroid cream produced long-lasting desensitisation but I may need to repeat the treatment.
My teeth, as I said in my previous post, have been playing up but thanks to the cloves I've kept any discomfort under control. However, these past couple of days I haven't been chewing my two cloves of an evening and my botched root canal has been giving trouble. I need to make the clove chewing a regular evening activity.
I've not been doing any exercise at all apart from activity around the house. I seem to be afraid to do anything in case I strain something and make my current situation worse. Overall I can't complain. I'm ambulant and healthy enough for my age but the natural deterioration continues apace.
