Why don't you tell us what it is and what caused it?

 

[MisterJackson]

Are they removing your nuts through your urethra? That's what it sounds like.

If it's as painful as actually breaking your clavicle, you're in for a world of hurt.

started off for shoulder pain. sever and nver ending shoulder pain. not sure exactly what or why he has to do it though. he said it would stop the pain.


all i know is it feels like someone is trying to pull my shoulder apart heh.

edit;

i guess the way the stop the pain is they go in and shave off part of the bone. not exact on the details heh

But why do you call him "Wee doctor?" Is he short? Isn't this about your shoulder?

How do you decide which words to capitalize in your titles and sentences? How do you decide when it's worth while to add punctuation?

You're just irritable because you're in pain.

I've had a mumford and it helped immensely. The recovery wasnt to bad and its as strong as it was before the surgery. It does pop out of joint occasionally if I get it in an awkward position buts its no longer painful.

being without pain would be good. yeah he mentioned that it may pop out on occasion.

Perhaps you should ask him why he actually has to do this. Just ask him why the eff is your shoulder hurting in the first place? Does it have extra bone growth or something from a previous injury? If not, why would he have to shave anything off? I dunno about you, but I'd be asking a bucket full of questions.

Something seems screwy. WTF would it "pop out" afterward? I had RTC surgery, which was quickly and fully recovered from (less than a couple months for 85% usage), without too much pain. That procedure would also repair a painful shoulder prone to "popping out". If you've already had MRI, take those pictures for a second opinion, especially from a reputable surgeon who specializes in RTC surgery.

to be honest i did ask and he told me. but i can't remember heh i also was not paying much attention.

part of it is from previous injury that did not heal right. so it pushing the connection from the coller bone (i think thats what he said) apart from the rest of the shoulder. he said shaving it down would give it more room to rotate wich would ease the pain.

I had it done about 5 years ago. I injured my shoulder diving for a volleyball and the additional scar tissue in my shoulder caused an inpingement. Basically my shoulder couldn't rotate properly anymore, so they shaved the end of that bone off to make more room. They made probably a 3-4" incision vertically on my upper/outer chest, inner shoulder area. The thing that is the most painful is that the incision is through your deltoid muscle and it hurts like a bitch afterwards. Recovery time for me with PT was about 9 months....

Good luck
