Hi Lorna! I can sympathize with your fear! However, you need to get that shoulder checked. Consider calling a doctor you trust, on the phone, and tell him what is going on with you. I had to have surgery this spring and I finally told me regular doc what my problem was. She helped me a lot. I used an anti anxiety medicine just for a couple of weeks prior to my surgery and it helped a lot. But also just knowing that she was on my side and was trying to help me, helped. Remember, when/if you go in, you are in charge. You can refuse any treatment. Also Anxiety is very treatable with a counselor/psychologist. I know I'm considering it. From what I understand it can be reduced or eliminated in 6 or less sessions. Good Luck to you!
