Well don't know yet!

Went to my ortho doc today and he set me up for a MRI of my right shoulder to determine if I in deed have a torn rotator cuff!Should know by next Wed.Glad it's my right arm this time cause I'm left- handed Oh well.It's the price you pay for Geezerdom!!:dono:popcorn

Have had both done. Nothing to it. The rehab is the tough part!!!!!!:banghead:

Hate to hear it Slab, hope all goes well and you make a speedy recovery.

Good luck and I hope they can fix you up. I've had my right shoulder cut on twice in B'Ham.

Just make sure they give you an alignment while they're at it. Else you'll pull to the left.

Wannabe...

Hope for the best for you SL, I know what it's like to suffer that pain.

Good luck

having been through the same process, being left handed myself...some things you need to practice left handed before the right arm becomes immobile....yes it happens to be one issue I thought about before hand...LOL....good luck with the rehab, oh and lots of ice (my wife made did my ice packs, quart baggie with alcohol poured into it, then crushed ice, put them in the freezer, they wont freeze solid and mold to the shoulder better than ice packs) and if the ice does not help make sure she uses the right kind of alcohol, thought I would throw that in before someone else did. or just forget the ice. I also bought my own TIMS unit the electro shock pads, works great during the weather changes for me, now where did I put that thing? hum will it shock fish?

Hogman, I'm gonna be pouring plenty of alky haul down my neck but some may get on my shoulder by accident!Sat, i really hated them weights. For some reason the therapist didn't want me to start with them rubber bands and put me on the weight machine instead. That was pure torture at first.Them pulleys on the door was tough at first. Really makes you look forward to the shock and cold water wrap at the end.The rest of my therapy was catchin white bass on cranks at Butla spillway and drivin nails in my house to repair wood damage caused by the tornado that went through Southaven about 4 blocks from my house a few years back.Thanks for all yalls kind words.Pretty bad looking forward to surgery just as a means to get away from work for a while!

Hope all goes well, take care
