mri's, ultrasounds, and shots- oh my!

Well, nobody ever found out what was causing the numbness/loss of strength in my hand and arm, but during the mri they noticed something going on with my thyroid. Last week I had an ultrasound on my neck done to see more- they found multiple cysts on my thyroid. What a weird thing- who the heck gets cysts in their neck?! Apparently they don't go away on their own most times so they have to stick a needle in them to aspirate them, and there is also a chance that they are cancerous, so they will need to be biopsied. Always something to worry about huh! Hopefully the endocrinologist can get me in soon and get it all done so that I can find the next weird medical anomoly to focus on...
On a more positive note- I have had shoulder pain for the past 4 years and finally had it looked at- luckily it is tendonitis, not a tear but I do have some osteo arthritis in it too. I got a cortisone shot in my shoulder today so hopefully it will start feeling better!
