Comments on: My Shoulder http://john.jubjubs.net/2010/06/08/my-shoulder/ my semi-regular stream of consciousness Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:21:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Matt Asay http://john.jubjubs.net/2010/06/08/my-shoulder/#comment-22580 Matt Asay Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:22:48 +0000 http://john.jubjubs.net/?p=1126#comment-22580 Sounds very familiar....Back in ninth grade a 200-pound middle linebacker buried his helmet in my shoulder (coach let him play running back for a few plays - I was defensive back and hadn't the slightest clue how to tackle) and created a similar "notch" that you describe. For a year after that, whenever I put on my coat, slid into a base, etc., my shoulder would pop out of socket. Painful. I had (arthroscopic) surgery and to this day have that limited range of motion/etc. It also kept me from skiing for a few weeks, which might have been worse. :-) However, it all turned out, and was the right move. I'm sure it will and is for you, too. Not fun, but worth it. Worst case, I'm sure your insurance is good and the family will be cared for. :-) Sounds very familiar….Back in ninth grade a 200-pound middle linebacker buried his helmet in my shoulder (coach let him play running back for a few plays – I was defensive back and hadn’t the slightest clue how to tackle) and created a similar “notch” that you describe.

Hope rehab is fast and that it improves your shooting and passing abilities on the basketball court (maybe I need surgery too). Anyway.. good luck John.

I think they use that for these surgeries but I might be wrong. You should see if you can get the davinci device! I think they use that for these surgeries but I might be wrong.
