hand? nothing.

shoulder? after almost 12 years of gradually worsening misery, i finally found a doc that found my issue(s) and fixed it.
got another 5 weeks or so in this damn brace.

Well, 5 weeks seems better than 12 more years.

You should probably get door dash, drink some beers lefty and save your shoulder for spring fishing.

yeah i first screwed it up in either ‘09, or ‘10.

was diagnosed as a soft tissue strain.
i kept playing ball and it kept getting worse.
had to move from SS to 2B because i could no longer put enough zip on it to throw anyone out.

saw a different doc had another MRI.
diagnosed as bone spurs causing impingement. Put me on anti-inflammatory.

had to hang up the spikes when i started struggling to throw people out for 2B and even bounced a few to first.

saw doc #3 and another MRI.
diagnosed as early stages of arthritis.
playing a game of catch with my sons, or throwing BP for them resulted in multiple days of near uselessness of my arm.

about 2 months ago i woke up in near agonizing pain. Typically i can point to a specific act that would cause flare ups like this. But this time i couldn’t.
Wife googling Shoulder Specialists found a guy that recently came on at a local Orthopedic clinic. Dude studied under Dr James Andrews.
So i said one more. If he doesn’t find anything, i’ll just keep popping pills the rest of my life.

less than 10 minutes into him questioning me, moving my arm, etc. he says “ok, i know what’s going on here”
finished the exam and says “you have a torn labrum, likely tendinopathy of the bicep tendon, plus bone spurs. which means you also likely have some damage to rotator cuff. We’ll do an MRI with contrast dye to confirm. Why hasn’t anyone used the dye on your previous MRI’s? you’ll never see this without it”


contrast dye, MRI, and HOLY SHIT there it is.
labrum torn from just in front of the top of shoulder over to about middle of back part of the joint.

So last monday went under the knife.
repaired the tear, anchored bicep tendon to top of humerous and “released” it from the labrum shaved the bone spurs and cleaned up the rotator cuff.

and pretty much immediately upon waking up i have been in less pain than i’ve been in years.

a little sore due to the therapy, but it no longer HURTS.

i wish i had found this dude a decade ago.

The eldest brought his GF home from college for the first time over Thanksgiving. She’s a volleyball player and had a bad shoulder (genetics). She had surgery the Friday before visiting and was in a sling. Sounds like she had very similar work done as you. Labrum, rotator cuff as well as some other soft tissue stuff that they tightened up for her.

She’s starting rehab any time now and from the sound of what her PT script will be, it will be a journey. I hope that what you have for PT goes well and that it will be lighter than what she described. I have to imagine that it won’t be.

Best of luck.
