Yep. I may have to go under the knife again.
I've had surgery on my right shoulder,
and my other one is bothering me a whole lot.
I think it stems from a 35 foot fall I took about 6 years ago.
I never went to the Doc for it because it did get better for a while.
It's been bothering me a whole lot for the last year, and it's starting to affect my climbing and window washing.
I HOPE it's just bursitus and maybe cortisone shots will help.
Celibrex does not seem to work. I am dreading not being able to climb for a couple of months if I need surgery.
:(

I went in today for x-rays
so the Doc will have them for Mondays appt.
It puzzles me, why x-rays when they don't show soft tissue damage.
Maybe the Doc will take an MRI when I see him on Monday

That's what's kept me climbing, Tami.
but it still hurts when I climb or wash windows, or just lying in bed.

Correct...
They DON'T show soft tissue damage...
so the Doctor is probably looking for something else...

Actually, it was more likely from the landing at the end of the fall. ;-)
I hope this goes easy and well for you dude.

Cozmeek - Xrays only show the hard stuff. Like buttplugs. Not mussels or clams or , you know, barnacles.
Al the best to have good outcomes fer all this schizz. You KNOW what is a great pain killer :-D

Riley;
It seems like a strange shoulder injury.
I have little pain if pulling down with my arm. It's when I lift my arm
or when there is an opposing force pressing against my arm when I try to lift it is when I get the SHARP pains in my shoulder.
It aches constantly though

just cut off the offending member,
you will climb better without the extra weight of that right arm,
i know a dude who can roll a doob with one hand so you should be able to learn,
can you get a drip bottle from the hospital while your in there?
and maybe a dozen or so needles?
