Insurance requires pre-approval for an MRI, however, after x-rays it seems worst case scenario I have a torn labum (sp?) and require surgery. Best case is that I have a spur of some bone and will need a cortizone shot and some physical therapy.

Update: now with x-ray pic.



Sucks.

Dont know, will probably depend on what the MRI by cam (2.00 / 0) #6 Mon Aug 11, 2008 at 02:58:49 PM EST
tells the doctor. I cant lift anything with my arms in front or above. I also cant push back with my arm behind my back. Very weak in those situations.

I can still swim though, which is good.

Still being able to swim is good by lm (4.00 / 1) #9 Mon Aug 11, 2008 at 04:42:26 PM EST
Otherwise, the whole thing sucks.

I'd offer to buy you a pint in two weeks time but you've done gone and moved.

The state department didn't like me enough. Neither did Georgetown.

Assuming I get my sheepskin, though, U of P isn't out of the question.

one night, breaker went to the pub.

When I'm imprisoned as an enemy combatant, will you blog about it?

I've love to tell you by Breaker (4.00 / 2) #13 Tue Aug 12, 2008 at 01:48:48 AM EST
There were ten of them, either beers or muggers, but sadly there were neither.  Accordingly, it fucking hurt like a bastard.

I've had a frozen shoulder, and working through that in PT was no fun at all. Well, unless you get a really cute therapist of the appropriate gender and you're into pain in a big way.

I swim on it at least five times a week by cam (2.00 / 0) #4 Mon Aug 11, 2008 at 01:35:40 PM EST
so should be ok. It has been about four weeks of pain now.

Got my MRI on July 14, only the labrial tear I got is in the hip. Not so much fun. Tentative surgery on Sept 11th (yay for notable dates.)

in the office had a torn labrum.  He's up for his third surgery in 2 years.
