Shoulder Update May 19 2009
update: little over 1 week old now.
all things considered i am not doing too bad i guess... ive been going without the sling quite a bit now... "shhhh" *dont tell on me.
ive been trying to keep my mobility in the elbow and a little in the shoulder. ive got suprising movement in my shoulder already, but it is extreamly weak.
i can lift it up under its own power to about chest hight, and a little over my shoulder with the help of my other arm. the joint still feels as if it is poping out though or loose feeling, under normal movements and if i lean to my right side while standing, it probably needs much more strength to keep it in.
now that it is not so tender i have been checking it out a little more and i dont seem to feel any broken bones in the area and i dont have any brusing to my shoulder at all. there doesnt seem to be any overly tender areas either. there is no ab-normal deformations either (no bumps or indents anywhere). i do,though, have a drop on my right side shoulder but that may go away with some muscle rehab.
so sitting around all weekend has got me itching to get back on the bike, not to mention the bad rash that i have under my arm from having it in the sling for almost a week straight.
x-rays and consultation next tuesday, 26th.
