DawgTalkers.net Forums Thread Like Summary - Prayers Please

So ....... as you may have heard ...... my right shoulfer decided to join the tear parade. So did my right bicep, and the labrum. This sucker hurts! I was mostly OK yesterday, (one day post op) until last night .... but last night and today are pretty torturous. Ice is my friend. If you are so inclined, I would appreciate prayers for pain easins, sanity remaining, and good healing. 6 weeks in the sling to look forward to. Yea.

I have been released!

I saw the surgeon today, and he let me out of the sling. Everything is ahead of schedule as far as healing, and I already have almost 100% range of motion in my shoulder. (which blew my mind) The muscles in my arm still smart a bit, as does my elbow, (the bicep is tighter than it's been in about a year, so that has thrown everything off) but it's manageable.

I start rehab next week.

Luckily I am feeling pretty good today. I called my doc's after I did it, and they said that I probably didn't do any harm ...... and that the pain is to get me to stop what I shouldn't be doing.

You got it, but dang man. Whats going on.

I know you are a Christian and either don't drink or try to moderate, but for the next week or so maybe you need to increase your intake of Jack and don't pay much attention to what you pill bottle says.

In my experience, a pain killer doesn't kill the pain. It might kill 10%. Doctors only prescribe enough to keep them out of trouble since the opioid deal. They aren't the ones dealing with the pain, so sometimes self medication is in order.

Pot makes me feel sick to my stomach, and I gave up drinking about 13 or so years ago.

I am actually feeling alright now. It's still sore ..... but I probably move my arm more than I should, without pain. The sling hurts my neck after hours and hours, and I have noticed that I have been subconsciously lifting my arm instead of letting it lie in the sling. I also do the exercises where I can let my arm hang more than recommended. (ones with no direcetd motion of the arm/shoulder)

I am on the way.

3 weeks and 2 days till this sling hits the trash for good.

So you refuse to help him test out the shoulder? tsk, tsk, tsk....

Great to hear things are working out well Y-Town.
