What's Hurting Your Fricking Shoulder Like There's No Tomorrow?
I'll start:
I put a scope on my 12 gauge so I could hunt deer with it and I went down to the range this morning to sight in the scope.
The recoil after the first slug hurt like hell. The second one hurt a little more than the first. The third one hurt like a motherfucker and the fourth one made me think I had done enough and needed to change to #6 shot, except it was a 3" load with 1 3/4 oz of pellets, in someways worse than the slug.
Glad that is done and I have about a month until Bow season and then another two weeks until rifle/shotgun season.
Will post bruises if they show up.
Didn't you just have surgery on your shoulder or something not long ago?
Maybe you need a different hobby? Like, gluing cotton balls together, or juggling marshmallows?
I just had my hip replaced. Hey! I think I'll take up pole-vaulting!
;)
You missed the boat, chap.
I had my gammy shoulder last month.
I hurt like (unlubricated) buggery then.
Pleased to say I am over it now and can turn my head with abandon.

I've got two shoulders wisenheimer. AND those aren't cotton balls, I only walk that way.

It's like Deltoid Dawn up in here. :lol:

Come Alongs lifting 1000 lb weights ( up and down up and down up and down , Fucker make up Your MIND !!!!!)
Shut downs at Steel mills
Something hurts in there, a bit more with sabre a bit less with everything else, so far there is a tomorrow but don't ask me to throw the heat.
I have no idea what made my shoulder hurt. But there will be a tomorrow and it will hurt more then.
There's always tomorrow. It's only a day away...
I am sorry about all ur shoulders.
Reaching up behind my back, since April surgery. :mad2:
We need a Cellar Massage Therapy and Shoulder Rehabilitation Centre/Center.
Is there any room in Health?
I'm up to my neck in shoulders.
my shoulders are good lately. in fact.... i'm not perceiving any untoward discomfort at present.
Thanks foot! I hadn't noticed!
ps, I'm not sorry about ur shoulder.
My ass hurts.
you have to say the safe word if you want me to stop....
it's not my shoulder but it's close. It's my right carotid artery in my fucking neck where they put the fucking port thing-y for the GD chemo. They couldn't get it in my subclavian vein because they couldn't find it - or so they tell me - and what, five years on this mofo STILL hurts? It hurts with a stabbing, jabbing, terrible pain.
They tell me to "rub it".
chuh.
Maybe you misunderstood what they meant.
Sawed up the limbs that fell during Irene, and the limbs I preemptively took down before Irene, and moved about 50 rocks, each 10 to 40lbs, that were scattered around the property. My shoulder is stiff and singing to me, this morning.
Whose limbs did you saw up?
Whose limbs did you saw up?
Dead hobos. Infinite Monkey's dead hobo's limbs.
Surgery scheduled for 6am Monday
its got to be , the shots are just covering up and Prolonging the inevitable
im coming up on the slowest time of the year for me ,
so Feb , March is a Good time to come back
Zippy - here's the important question: what kind of pain meds??
:D
Griff : are you following me?
*turns down alley, breaks into run*
Zippy,
Get a recliner and put it close to the bathroom. Get a pile of wound dressings on standby. Get a whole bunch of canteens filled with water and put them within easy reach of your recliner. Get at least two or three floppy gel ice packs and just keep ice on your shoulder all the time for the first few days. When the ice packs stop warming up then you can back off. Right after the surgery the ice packs will warm up in about half an hour, just keep the rotation going.
Make sure they give you a good sling, one with a pillow to keep your arm slightly elevated. It helps keep the tendon in the right place while it heals. Wear it all the time 24/7. take it off only when you shower.
You'll probably get a horrible rash in your pits since they won't get much air for a few weeks. wash, dry, deodorant, diaper cream, and dry wash cloths.
Forget about sleeping, get an ipod and a bunch of mellow music or books on tape.
Do everything your doctor tells you to do. Do everything your PT tells you to do. Don't try to do anything at all with your arm unless your Doc or PT
specifically tells you to do it.
Good luck
Damn, look at foot go. You'd think he's done this before, or something.
And DON'T go bow hunting! ;)
My dad is having hand surgery today. Waited until after golf season. Last night he seemed pretty sure he was going to have no problem recuperating and I hope he's right, but I'm not so sure.
I hope all goes well Zippy!
And remember, you can never have too much water in a nuclear reactor.
Words of wisdom, folks, words of wisdom.
Wait...whut?
KABOOM!
And DON'T go bow hunting! ;)

On the primitve archery forum a guy was asking about how soon after open heart surgery he'd be able to go bow hunting. His doc said 3 months. WTF? Also the guy was 51. Yikes. Then another guy answered and said, he'd had OHS last year and he was up and at it in 6 months or something but he was 30. WTFF? Who has OHS at 30 AND is a bowhunter?
I hope everything goes smoothly for your dad, even though this is the shoulder thread. He should really start a hand thread, just sayin. The hand has a lot fewer heart valves and sternums and what not so he should be good to go. (I'm not a doctor, but I did play doctor as a child)
My dad is 73, and if he had to be cooped up he would go nutso.
Thanks, I'm a little worried. He does a lot of woodworking in the winter, and I hope he doesn't have too much pain. A woman here at work had the same surgery and said it was rough.
Maybe I'll start a thread: My Dad's Hand.

Someone born with a heart defect so kept himself as healthy as possible so when the time came for surgery, he'd be in the best place possible?
I think that this is a good opportunity for your dad to learn to operate the table saw with his feet.
Well, I did inherit my dad's "asparagus toes" and they're pretty agile. I wouldn't put it past him!
Asparagus toes, huh? I must have blueberry toes then.
Yeah, they're not green, they're just shaped like asparagus. Or so my mom has always said. My best friend in HS called me asparagus toes.
Are your toes blue, or just round? :lol:
We need to see the Asparagus toes!
My Dad's Hand
My dad's hand
Is doing fine.
The end.
(Mom said the Doc said my dad's a funny guy. But of course!) :)

You're not replaceable, Zip
Good luck with the last part. Seriously, plan on at least a week off before you even try to get in a car. Don't even try to drive yourself.
How bad a tear do you have?
Doc says its unknown until he gets in there with a camera
Thanks Spex
Didja ask him "Ya ever done one of these before, doc?" They love that shit.
hope everything goes ok, zippeh
You're not replaceable, Zip
no offense zippyt
but spexx, this post belongs in the fairy tale thread.
Surgery at 05:30 tomorrow, Yeee Fricken HAWWW !!!
Thanks ,
this feels like im steppen into a Whole new chapter in life !!!
Hope everything goes well, zip.
You'll be back zipping around in no time I'm sure. Do what the doc (and footy) says! xx
You'll get a spring training invite this year for sure after the Tommy John surgery.
How'd it go lefty? Or was that pm?
Hang on, how's he going to type?
Uh-oh.
He only hen pecks anyway. lol There wont be much difference will there?
He's probably in recovery by now, all hopped up on painkillers. I can hear Brianna now:
"I sense a disturbance in the force..."
and here I am now!
It's spooky how that works.
Hang on, how's he going to type?
Uh-oh.
exactly how he typed before.
A better question is "how will we be able to tell the difference?"
I feel like someone whacked the back of my skull with a hammer.
I wonder how zippeh is doing.
(Yells so he can hear) ZIP! HOW ARE U DOING?!?!?!
YEAH ZIP...HOW GOES IT?
LET US KNOW!
I feel like someone whacked the back of my skull with a hammer.
You should lock your door when you sleep. At least until your son moves out.
Just sayin.
I found that typing was not as difficult as using the mouse.
That's 'cause you people use stupid mice.
Trackball trackball trackball.
Maybe he could use Dragon Naturally Speaking.
howdy all , hydrocodened up zip here
Thanks for the good thoughts and vibes
surgery went well,
doc told Carol there was no tearing just bone spurs and
bursitis
so hopefully that meens a quicker recovery ,
as to my typeing , well its a bit slower than usual , and Infini is right Track Ball all the way .
again thanks for the good thoughts/vibes they helped
zippy - despite what you may have heard do NOT crush your vics up and snort them.
It'll burn the hell outta your nose.
glad you're doing well, zip! :) Here's a flower :flower: to get well on.
Is Carol wearing a sexy nurse uniform?
Glad it's all good so far...
Carol is a Sexy nurse uniform or Not ( preferably )
Jeez, Zippy hits the jackpot!
Disc is burned and shipping in the am. 162 hours worth!
Ok so Doc said i only had about 3mm tear , and he would have had to mess it up worse to fix it than it was, so he left it alone
But he removed bone spurs and the tip of my clavicle or collar bone,
so i have raw bone on bone or sum such ,
all i know is that its Sore and Stiff ,
Fuck the Hard Pain meds , they Mess me up for a few days per pill ,
so on Docs orders im ditching the useless ass sling ,
signed up for PT this afternoon , and im going to hurt for a while
WAAAAAAAA !!!
It's easy to take a pill every day, and to stay with PT is hard. But it works.
So stay with it and make it part of your everyday routine. It works.
Find a way to reward yourself when you don't miss a day. It works.

3 millimeters?
You pussy. Give me back my advice. I had a 3.5 centimeter tear!
Seriously, that is seriously ass good news zippy. Those tendons don't have much blood supply so they heal really slowly. The grind-out is awesome because it keeps the bone from digging into the tendon when you raise your arm.
You should be feeling better very soon. PT is great especially if you have a dishy PT gal.
The pain meds suck. I stopped them after a few days. IT will take a few weeks for your head to clear from the surgery aenaesthaesiae too.
i had a REAL BAD nite last nite,
could Not find any angle that my shoulder was not hurting ,
out of bed , back in the recliner with ice packs and a pain pill ,
Still didn't sleep worth a shit

Sorry to hear that. It happens. That's what that CD is for.
Maybe you could hang from the ceiling like a bat.
the fricken weather ,
its been raining for the last few days ,
hell i could have told you it was comeing
I can tell when it's coming by the hard breathing.

yeah, well, if it's hurting your shoulder like there's no tomorrow, you're doing it wrong.
or right, depending on how you see things.
Hell, yeah!

I been puttn my Back , Ass and Shoulder in to it !!!
But it aint done Much good , Soooooo ,,,,,,
I have a Manipulation(they put me to sleep and MAKE this Fucker Move ( with the associated Cracking and popping noises )) tentatively scheduled for Tuesday ,
Yeee FUCKING HAAAW !!!
It would be cool if you could give Carol or somebody a video camera to record the process and accompanying sounds. I bet they won't allow it though.
Hopefully when the drugs wear off afterwards, it won't be too sore. :eek:
I'd be happy to be put under for that procedure. I bet the noises are horrid. Of course, when the doc set my compound fracture in my wrist, I don't remember the noise, or anything...since I was in la la morphine land.
Good luck, dude.
sholder not hurting , hell nuthen is hurting (thanks perks!!!)
Doc had me put to sleep (4trys for the IV !!!!!)
Big nerve block , hell my Ear is even numb
and rotated this sholder
cold apple juice after anatheisa is SOOOOOOOO GOOD !!! (prolly the druges)
chicken and stars with salteens glass of tea recliner neck pillow snuggie , Ahhhh life is guuuud !!!
Glad you made it through the other side
Modern medicine! Better than biting the wooden spoon.
In my day we didn't have fancy shoulders our arms came right out of our ears and we liked them that way.

Is this the wrong place to suggest this'd make a good Cellar tag line?

Four tries for the IV? :facepalm:
I guess that's why it's called an IV.
I can beat that. For my last Remicaid infusion, they successfully started the IV four times. And each time, my vein blew out. I've been on steroids for over a year now and steroids weaken your veins.
When you start comparing injuries and illnesses you know you're getting old.

Mr. Clod's shoulder has been hurting for about 6 months. It finally got bad enough to see an orthopedist. They say he has "only a small spur," and a 30-day course of anti-inflammatories should fix it.
He's on day 5, and still no change in pain whatsoever. Right now, I'm putting my money on surgery, oh, say about a year from now.

And the process drags on. Multiple anti-inflammatories had no effect, nor did shots of cortisol, and finally Mr. Clod managed to get back to the doctor and get an MRI. Diagnosis: "moderate sized longitudinal partial tear of the superior subscapularis tendon." Whee!
He's been referred to a surgeon. Maybe they'll say he should just put it in a sling for a few months, but I kind of doubt it.
So I sit down to read the cellar with a microwave heat pad on my shoulder and guess which thread is active...
Is this the same shoulder you already had surgery on? Are you saying he shouldn't do it because it's not going to stop the pain anyway?
I think Footy had the surgery. Mines been okay with exercise and anti-inflammatories. This new pot regimen looks interesting...
Yeah, foot and zippyt and I thought one other person... Glad yours is staying under control, though. I'm actually pretty leery of shoulder surgery for him now, thanks to the horror stories on here.
There is nothing horrible after you get better. I was never in pain after the surgery as long as I behaved. It has been 2 years nearly and it is awesome. I really want to get the other one done but not with things the way they are at home.
I can do things with my arm now and I'm not in pain with that arm. I often find myself holding back when lifting or some such motion and then I realize it doesn't hurt and I go a bit farther and no pain and I realize I am actually stronger in that arm than I used to be.
I totally recommend it. The anal probe, not so much.
Surgeon says it's not severe enough to do surgery on right now. So he can cripple his arm in a sling indefinitely, and see if it heals on its own, or he can just keep living in pain and wait until it gets bad enough to do surgery. He's pretty pissed at that non-answer.
You may need a different PCP or Surgeon.
Moderate is meaningless, how many cm? Even that isn't fool proof, Mine was only supposed to be something like 2cm partial tear from the MRI, when the doc got in there via arthro, he saw that it was essentially fully torn with only a tiny shred of tissue connected and a lot of scar tissue. What he thought would be 45 minutes was almost three hours.
Mr. C should go to his doc and say, "Listen. I'm in pain and every time I need to do X it hurts. And when I do Y, it hurts. And if I do Z, it hurts." Never say, "I can't do such and such." Say that you can, but emphasize that it fucking hurts.
Problem with RC injuries is the longer you wait to deal with them the chances of full recovery diminish.
Shoulders are a crazy ass solution to an engineering problem and there's not much to do to improve their architecture. PT 3x a week and at home might help strengthen and stabilize the shoulder but those tendons don't re-attach themselves.
Shoulders. Ask for them by name.

I HATE passive doctors! If I wanted to 'wait and see' I wouldn't need a doctor to tell me to do it!
I go to Cincinnati for aggressive docs. All the docs up here want to 'wait and see' until your cancer is growing out of your fookin' ears or if your arm does, indeed, grow back.
sheesh.
