I went to an orthopedic surgeon about my shoulder today. She was shocked at the weakness in my shoulder during the clinical exam. She asked whether I had had a muscle biopsy to check for myositis or if I had been tested for metabolic disorders. (No to each question, I tried and failed to this point.)
She then shocked me. The doctor told me that I had "clinical weakness" and referred me to yet another neurologist, hopefully for a muscle biopsy. She also said I had a "winged scapula".
I was surprised to be diagnosed with clinical weakness by an orthopedic surgeon. I'm more confused than ever. Very good doctor this time. Very attentive, and she asked a ton of questions.
But I'm confused. Two neuros say no clinical weakness. Anyone get diagnosed with clinical weakness by a doc other than a neurologist? Also, I am very weak in some ways but then I went home and did 6 pull-ups. ?
