Bert - The need for a surgeon depends in part on the nature of the injury. If this did not need surgery up front, the probability of surgery helping is very small. You will have some post-traumatic arthritis from this, and you will be surprised at how long the effects of this injury can linger. I believe that stretching, yoga etc are very important. Things that cause pain are your body's way of saying don't do this yet. Turmeric (Indian yellow root) is an herb that has significant healing qualities and is about as effective for musculoskeletal pain as NSAID drugs like ibuprofen or Aleve. It is very safe. If there is bone fx this should be allowed to heal before significant soft tissue rehab can begin. Heat to this area is effective in promoting healing - infrared is much superior. Infrared heating pads specifically designed for shoulder rehab are made (Thermotex on the web). Dr. d

I have found through my years of taking the kids to the ortho and tbw's mulitple visits 1st they suggest rehab($$$spent), then a xray($$$) than a cortisone shot($$$$) and then mri($$$$) and then tell you surgery and/or quit what you are doing. Research the 'net and try to learn all about the shoulder before a dr's visit so you will know what they are talking about. Since the accident I go to the pool and do numerous activities w/ my shoulder just to the point of pain. Most imp, I've been told, is to drink bunches of water to flush the toxins and a lot of movement to get the blood flowing to/through the muscles. When I was in the er I wanted out as quickly as possible cause that is where people die and/or get bedbugs! :) On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 2:18 PM, David C. <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Any suggestions on a sport injury doc in wilson?
