Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 , I forgot about the drive, darn. Try and get the scan. Don't feel like an idiot, just lucky nothing wrong. I'm pretty much the same, no better, no worse. See os tomorrow, for what I'm not sure. Will let you know. Jeff ________________________________ From: " maryanne.waspe1@...

It does feel like an impingement, not a full tear. which I have now had for over 2 weeks, I would have thought if it was overuse then it would have settled down by now. Its a 3 hour drive each way to see him, so I want to make sure there is something I need to see him about. I might get the scan done and it proves to be nothing in which case I will feel a proper idiot for wasting his time. So I will see GP tomorrow, if he isn't interested then I will go see the surgeon. I do still get weird pains in the other shoulder that doesn't have the rotator cuff, but that operation was a Disaster, in that I can't use it very well at all.... Its okay if its close to me and no higher than my shoulder. Even getting it to shoulder height is a mammoth task. Oh the JOYS !!!!! any way more importantly how are you doing now? xx - Re: I need some advice. Hi , Sorry reply so late. I had a vey similar experience with my shoulder after the replacement and fortunately it was nothing but a slight setback from overuse I had exactly the same type of pain and couldn't lift my arm at all. I went back to os who did an x-ray and everything was fine. A few days later the pain was gone and I was back to being pain free. Of course I have no rotator cuff so it couldn't be an impingement. All that being said I think you should call the os as soon as you can and go see him. Good luck, Jeff ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
