Chuck, to paraphrase, just a little bump in the road! I am trying to put that off as long as I can too! First injury was doing deadlifts, but that was in another life, along time ago, I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery, Gary

Thanks for asking Harry.
I had the surgery last Monday. The rotator cuff was only a partial tear and didn't require anything. They did find a torn bisecp tendon which was repaired, a torn labrum, and removed bone spurs. They also removed the end of the collar bone where it attaches to the shoulder A/C joint. Why they did this I don't know but that's what is the most painful. I was off pain meds on Friday but on Sunday I made the mistake of pulling a 13 pound Order Book off the shelf with my left hand and arm. This transmitted forces over to the right shoulder and wasn't a good thing to do. They said no lifting but I figured they meant with the right arm. Guess I was wrong! Back on the pain meds for a while. It's getting better. I see the Doc on Monday. Thanks to everyone for not sending in too many research requests I'm only backed up 2 letters right now. I'm getting them out 1 or 2 a day. |

Chuck, you're too young to have figured this out yet, but I have found that every time I see a doctor, something goes wrong. I went home last month( from Maine) just for a 6 month check up. The doctor couldn't just let me go without finding something wrong. What was to be a quick trip turned out to be a month of more surgery, a trip to the ER, and most tests. I told my wife I wasn't looking for a total restoration , just a tune up.
I'm glad you didn't do more damage than you did. Get well soon |

[QUOTE=Chuck Bishop;145058]Thanks for asking Harry.

I almost had the same thing done, they call it "hook shoulder" the end grows into something so when you lift up your arm it hits another something that make another something hurt, hopes all's well for you. scott

Chuck, How are you coming along just was in the gunroom reading one of your letters and thought I would check in to see how you feel, I had a friend that had the surgery you did , he had to have a pillow under his arm for a couple months, but is fine now, as I know you will be, have you in my prayers, Gary

Thanks Gary,
I just had my first visit today with the PT Nazi's. The PT will not be fun but I just have to do it. So far, I haven't been flooded with letters so that's going well. |
