Has anyone else here had this?
Last year I fell and caught myself with the palm of my hand on a concrete floor. I thought immediantly I had broken my arm. But, I didn't go to the dr. I could move the arm so I figured it wasn't broke. It soon became alright but one morning I woke in horror to find I could barely move my left arm over a 45 degree angle and this only with the most sever form of pain I have ever endured. This lasted for months. The bone specialist and physical therapist all said I needed surgery...a 3 part surgery consisting of , repairing a torn rotator cuff, grinding off calcium deposits and forcible manipulation of the joint. They said this would cause sever pain and I would have to go back Immediantly into physical therapy still with no guarantee of full movement returing. Well, I opted instead to do my OWN physical therapy at home (VA would only pay for two 6 week sessions of PT). NOw, I have about a 98% movement back in my joint and NO pain! Every now and again if I turn my arm a certain way I get a tinge of pain and it concern me...but, so far so good. I am PROUD I have come this far without surgery.

I've not heard of that. Cold shoulder - but that's something different
Good for you for taking it upon yourself! Sad how quick the doctors are to put us under the knife. Glad you healed well!

This went on for months...had to sleep with my arm propped on a pillow and during the night if my arm slide off, I would wake and scream in agony. I sure don't want it to come back 
Glad yours has come back too...it is really a nusiance not to be able to rotate you shoulder...imposssible to use a drive up bank window or fast food drive through...hard to dress...remove clothing over your head..hard to even brush back of hair. |

I haven't had this problem but when I worked in a pharmacy a few of my customers had the surgery you mentioned ..... they practically cut your arm off at the shoulder and put you back together . It's insane and if I were you I would just stopping using my arm before I let them do that . I'm glad your better though ....
