Yes I will Jeff,

I do have a rotator cuff this side hence the normal shoulder replacement.

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?

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
