Fun never ends.....pretty good results from PT, however, it has plateaued with frozen shoulder issues. Soooooo, next week under anesthesia (but not under the knife) I will have the Manipulation Under Anesthesia procedure....where basically the doctor puts it through complete range of motion to break up or stretch the adhesions. Then PT daily for awhile.
Hopefully this will finish off my shoulder issues and get me back on to a good trajectory of healing.
Enuf is enuf.

Susan- You have been diligently putting in the time and the work so I hope you start feeling more yourself here soon.
Hit up your friends for some climbing DVDs (or VHS if you still have that stuff) to get you stoked without reading.
I have been working around a very loose left shoulder most of my time climbing so the knife waits for me too pretty soon.
Best wishes and luck with your recovery!
Cheers- Steve

I tore my labrium, tore my rotator ( full) and broke off the top 1/3 of the humerus bone. Horrendo ski accident! Your PT is your best friend. Do all of your range of motion rehab then really focus on you over head stuff. Drink shitloads of water and don't ever dehydrate! Bad bad bad for joints and ligs. As far as the Iodine thing.....Please be careful with iodine! I spent a week in the hospital with kidney issues due to iodine. Turns out I was unaware I had slow kidney function from another issue and almost fried my kids from iodine water purifacation tabs on a trip in Central America.

Man, sorry to hear that! My wife just finished with three weeks in the motorized chair that moved her arm around for half the day after her manipulation procedure. Rough business all the way around - hang in there...

Susan-
Hang in there so we can all climb together later in the year! I still have adhesions in my chest cavity, and nothing less than a full surgical go will get my breathing capacity back; I simply said F%#k it and am doing fine. It is simply mind over matter: I don't mind, and it don't matter. Or, as Partick Swayze said in Roadhouse: "pain don't hurt."

Damn! After yer manipulation, PUSH the range of motion as hard and as much as you can. If you froze up once, high likely that you will do it again if you don't hold the post manipulation range. Make sure your PT emphesizes the scapular stabilization and periscapular musculature development!!!!
Peace

Back from my procedure of Manipulation under Anesthesia. Doc said it went well. Had an interscalene block so all is numb for now, and I got the not-uncommon-side effect of a hoarse voice. Driving Ferretlegger nuts, says its a freaky sound. I guess it's not in the category of the husky sexy voice.
Daily PT for awhile. I sure hope this is the final ticket. SO done with this.
