Shoulder Injury

[SDJ]

Well I injured my sholder 6 weeks ago at work and I've just been told by the Physio that she is going to recommend i see a specialist :( Its really starting to frustrate me cause I cant do much at all :( and the worst thing is the surf has been so good lately and all I can do is watch. Don't get met started on Snow either, I just hope it comes good before i go to Japow

anyhoo that is all

That blows SDJ at least the recoperation should be covered by your employer/whatever worker comp is called these days.

A mate dislocated his shoulder in Japow back in Feb, had a reco of the rotor cuff, loads of physio, and still could not ride this winter.

He is hopeful of being good for our Colorado road trip next Feb, but even that is looking unlikely at this stage.

Yep, he's a 'boarder! I guess that happens when your knuckles drag on the ground huh [img]tongue.gif[/img]

i'd prefer a shoulder over an acl like you skiers seem to get!
i disco'd my shoulder in japow in feb to, but rode my remaining week, been to physio and specialist....specy says 2 i can wait up to 2 years before having reco, so choose when i'm not going O/s for riding. took it easy this season.... for the first few minutes at least. currently 95% chance of repeat injury until surgery

are you in sydney? book in to see nick stepkovich at SSRS in hornsby...total genius physio. highly recommended for shoulder injuries.
and if you are after a surgeon, david duckworth at the SAN in wahroonga if you can get in. he took all the hassle out of getting MRI and no waiting....he pulls strings at the medical imaging places to get you in the same day.

Same SDJ,actually saw Doc today after physio's recommendation.Off tomorrow for x-ray's and ultrasound.......I've been carrying this for a long time so maybe its time to fix properly..You're right tho its so restrictive. Hard to get a good nights sleep :(

jahoota yep its my drinking arm and man its weird drinking with the other

the scary thing is ive had the Xrays and ultra sounds and they showed nothing according to the report but my physio is a bit sus about the ultra sound and thinks it needs to be re done, and she is saying its very hard to treat cause everything seems to be irritating that she gives me to do. the first doc i started seeing basically sent me home and just said to have a few panadol and if the pains still there in 2 weeks come back. well im not seeing that doc anymore.

Was there any mention of tendon damage (torn or snapped) and does anyone know if this is repairable....?
