Had to go to emergency again!
They took x-rays and sure enough they could see a seperation at the top. The ball is not in the socket. Now 2 reasons could be why. 1- torn rotator cup 2 - the joint has a lot of blood from the injury and has stopped the ball from going back in. The Dr. gave me some pain meds and put something in my shoulder to knumb it. She had a hard time getting the needle in my arm and thinks that there is a blood clot there. She gave me a new ortho. to go to. I will not go back to the other one. He did not see any of this a few weeks ago, even though I told him of so much pain. He also took x-rays. I have a few things to tell him!!!!  |

Oh noooo! Ugh that sounds so painful & icky. What will they do next? Very gentle hugs to you, and sheepie kisses from Ru  |
| Oh no, after 7 weeks you should be closer to healed, not enduring all of this. Glad your doc saw what was happening and moved you. I hope you are composing a nasty-gram and send it! If he's part of a orthopedic unit at a hospital, that is there's someone in charge of the group, I'd send a copy. Hopefully your doc will also do some "hind end" chewing. |
| Oh you poor thing! Several years ago I broke my ankle running. No one at the crappy hospital could find the break and tried to convince me I had gout. I was in pain for months! About a year later, I went to a doc for some foot problems and mentioned this to him. He did 1 x-ray and immediately found where the break was, and how it had heal. Even thought "they" think so...not all doctors are g-ds!!!! |
Yeoww!! 
Good luck with the new ortho. |
| I fired my ortho a year ago because of my shoulder. The only time I've fired a doctor.
He made the supreme error of not listening to me. It's okay to not have all of the answers - our body's don't read the textbooks and know what they are supposed to do. I would come home from the office visit frustrated and angry. My husband said that even though he is supposed to have the best technical technique, the pain of dealing with him wasn't worth it. So two weeks before surgery, I got a new doctor. I love the man. He listened to me, understood that I wanted the less invasive surgery that required more effort on my part to get good results. A friend of mine had the same doctor for his shoulder surgery - fired him a month later. He loved the new doctor and was able to return to his job as a paramedic 3 months later. So here is to the new doctor! Good luck. |
So sorry that you are still in pain. That is so miserable!  I hope that you have now found a doc that will get you fixed! |
| please keep us up to date. i know how bad a shoulder can feel. i have a hill sachs fracture in mine that i've had for over a year now. Between that and my back, went in again and had 48 steriod injecitions under flouroscope from my anesthesiologist/pain dr. i tend to do this every 4 or 5 months now it seems.
i've seen 3 ortho specialst and when i come back from Mexico, if i haven't found an ortho down there with our insurance to replace my disc's, i have a new one here in Loveland i found out yesterday will do the replacements. However in order to have 4 done, i have to get FDA approval. Well, one look at my back x rays and duh........... BIG RED TRUCK FDA......... Hope you feel better soon. let us know. |
Hope the pain is a little under control until you can see the new ortho. Sorry you have to go through all this  |
