Saw ortho--he said break is healing well, shoulder still in right spot. But concerned about swelling and bruising and need mri. Since I had shoulder issues before and he saw some calcification there, He thinks there may be some muscle/tendon/ligament damage that may need surgery.

Now i'm wearing a bulkier post-surgical sling, still icing and taking arnica and oxycodone at night. Now i wish they did surgery when in er so it would be done with. A lot of people told me that he's one of the best orthos around. i'm sure he'll do whatever he can to avoid surgery.

Thanks for your good wishes. if shoulder pain for 7 years didn't make me get it checked, this is definitely the kick in the pants i needed. may need a new career as well.

i'm bored and may binge on old tv show videos. can only pet and maybe brush my pony. elderly parents driving me here and there is turning my hair gray.
