it can all change in an INSTANT.... down again, yup u told me so!
« on: February 09, 2017, 04:36:00 PM »
while working Tuesday towards the end of my route I slipped on the ice when I got up I instantly knew I separated my shoulder, not good! as I climbed back on the truck I felt my whole left side shift back in place with some grinding and a pop. awful pain for awhile and took today off work, I hope for a quick recovery without a need for doctors. I could not pull back a kids bow with suction cup arrows at this point....

If you don't feel much better in a week, I would head to see the Doctor. Good luck on your recovery.

Tough news Ken.  Ya really might want to consider seeing a doctor.  If you have some damage (and it sounds like you may have), it would speed the recovery.  Take care, my friend!

I agree. I'm one who has a history of holding out until it gets better on its own. I now have a prosthetic knee as a consequence. Best to find out what damage you did, then make your own decision on whether or not to get the treatment they recommend.

Don't be the tuff guy it could cost you, hope it's not bad and you can get to feeling better quickly.

I to slipped on the ice 4yrs ago this month, landed on my butt very hard. My neck snapped horribly and I was on blood thinners at the time. Went into the house with a horrible head ache and stiff neck, within a few hours a was throwing up uncontrollably but my head was terrible. I was rushed  to the hospital then flown to the KU med were the found 9 brain hemorrhages. 3 brain surgeries, removed my skull plate twice and a year and half of therapys learning to talk and walk again and I recovered pretty good. I have no memories of the hospital stay or a lot of therapys. Took a while but bow hunting came back and a lot of other things, just have to modify what I do.

So, don't put it off go have it checked out. Like you said it can change in an instant!

I think you are making a serious mistake by not going to the doctor immediately. You said it was painful, and pain is the body's way of saying something is wrong. Don't fool around with a bad shoulder as it can end your archery career if there is an unattended problem.

Sorry to hear this Ken.  

In my non-doctor opinion, go to see a doctor.  We had a guy, at work, dislocate his shoulder 5 weeks ago.  They had him in a sling, immobilized, for 4 weeks then MRI revealed two torn ligaments and rotator cuff.  He had surgery yesterday and is expected to be out another 4-5 months.

Do yourself a favor, spend the money to get checked out now and not regret it when you get older.

Ken,
As most have said have it checked out by a doctor or go to the emergency room an have it checked out. It may be nothing or it could require more attention and it's always best to error on the safe side.

Regards,
Rick

I would chime in with the rest and recommend a visit to a competent doctor.  A few years ago at work my wife slipped and went down on her thumb...bent it back  to her wrist.   Went to the "local yokel" who said she could go back to work on with some restrictions.  She's a machinist and that night could not even pick up parts or tools.  Came home crying half way through the night.  I rushed her up to Mayo Clinic and turned out the tendons were ripped right off the bone.  They took her into surgery immediately.

If we would not have gone when we did, eventually those things can't be fixed.  She would have lost the use of her thumb permanently.  Also a good example of why a person wants to see a competent doctor.

Yes, to all the above!                                

Assuming no accident report? Not good.
