saw the surgeon today and the MRI shoes a slap tear so planning on going for surgery to see exactly what is wrong and finally get this fixed. Waiting for his secretary to call me back to see when they can fit me in. Fortunately going private with BUPA (in the UK) helps things go quickly hopefully...

Well I had a rather lengthy entry the last time I tried this but it didn't save. So I'll give this another go. I dislocated my shoulder on 2/5/10. Long story short. I have a labral tear and will be under going surgery on 3/18/10. I'm going to write this blog as a type of therapy for myself and hopefully to inform others on what to expect, should they find themselves in a similar situation. I'm going to try and give updates regularly as I go through my journey. I plan on making my next post the day of or the day after surgery so that things are still fresh in my mind. Until next time...
"So it will feel like your shoulder is slightly disclocating" were the words I remember before the pain...

I had originally injured my shoulder 2 years before i had surgery, when i had surgery it was a type two and i was playing college volleyball about 9 months after and i was doing pull ups missed the box and came down re pulled my arm. had a aurthogram. which was very painfull and even now after 1 day it is still painful and sore. but i had no tears in the shoulder which was a good sign. But I need an opinion, because the pain is so large.. i dont know what to do and i am already on pain killers. help please...
Have put up photos from when I broke my arm, hoping the shoulder op will be a walk in the park after that but know joints can be trickier than broken bones...
This was the output from May 2008 after the shoulder problem reoccurred and I decided to stay with physio as this was after about 8 weeks of physio and I was getting much stronger!!
So I'm going for another MRI after trying physio last time I hurt my shoulder. The physio seemed to get me to 90% but the shoulder has never been quite right and hurt it again two weeks ago lifting lightish weights and went bouldering/climbing 4 days after and it was still bad.
I do a lot of rock climbing, bouldering and racket sports so looking forward to hopefully being able to climb and play tennis, squash and badminton again!
