Take on Me

I've had a somewhat similar experience. I injured both shoulders a few years back. I couldn't raise my arms over my head for more than a few seconds, couldn't touch my hands behind my back, put on a jacket unassisted, etc. I saw my doctor. Expected to get an MRI, X-ray, something. He straight up told me that insurance wouldn't cover an MRI unless PT was done first. The PT was somewhat successful. I regained full range of motion again, albeit not without pain. I still can't workout like I used to, and certain movements cause painful impingement. I had to see a different doc for the follow-up. He basically had the impression that I was now fixed. Still no confirmation if anything is damaged. So, I'm good now? Frustrating...
