Angie I know right, it is the saddest thing to happen while I was sleeping? Silly too & It makes me think why could I tear something just from that? I knew I was restless but I had no idea it would result in this? SO Strange..........I will do as I am told & baby it & do the Physio as often as they tell me to. ~hugs~
109762Oh no! I pray for you to have strength and be pain free. Also for a speedy recovery. Please take care of yourself. Hugs, Suzanna
18074Sorry to hear. This is painful... hope you heal quickly.

52676Hi, so sorry about your shoulder! Just wanted you to know I empathized greatly with you. A few years back, I thought I had a torn rotator cuff, but after MRI, it did not show it. The Dr. said I had a frozen shoulder and it was quite an ordeal to get the shoulder/arm back to functioning. I could not lift my arm high enough to fix my hair or unzip a zipper behind me. It did take a couple of months of exercises with a rope pulley with handles on each end, so I could use the good arm to stretch the bad one. Hubby made the pulley for me, so I did not have to travel each day to rehab. A shot of steroids right to the joint helped a lot, but I attribute shower water as warm as I could stand it right on the shoulder, arm uplifted as high as I could get it against the shower wall, gently leaning my weight against it, worked the best. Lengthy and uncomfortable process, but thankful it hasn't bothered me since. That was an awful ordeal!! Praying for quick healing for you!!
Hugs, Angel
12500I know your pain but not possibly from torn rotator cuff. Been having pain a long time--arthritis in left shoulder--a pain started in my left wing bone--Dr. just said well, nothing broke--on muscle relaxer-no help-been on pain meds for arthritis for years. 2 yrs ago Dr. suggested cortisone shot but I've only heard negative things on that. Finally a couple weeks ago went to orthopedic and a shot in shoulder given. Relief right now for that part of shoulder but not the gnawing aching in back wing bone. My son in law is PT and gave me some exercise. My sis had the separated rotator cuff surgery and she did really well. My prayers are with you as sisters in pain. Hope you recover and can get back to all your beautiful projects.

6 months awe................I am praying it won't be that long, not sure I can stay on meds for that long..........Glad that you did so well without meds. The pain was too much for me

Fatima thank you so very much........@least now I don't have time to worry about my machine lol Everything happens for a reason lol guess I am meant to slow down again. ~hugs to you my friend~
7806Bummer. I can't imagine the panic you feel. Try to calm it down though because if you keep using it, you may wind up with it permanently frozen. When you want to run over your list of to-do's, tell yourself that it's O.K. that they don't get done this year. You can start next year when you heal be far ahead of everyone! My prayers are with you.

Thank you Jerrilyn & yes The Dr. did say not to over do it because I could end up with my shoulder permanently frozen which is where the phrase "cold Shoulder" comes from. ~hugs~
158553Loralye, so sorry to hear this. I tore my left rotor cuff 15 yrs ago just reaching for the Esc key on the keyboard, while at work. Had to have surgery, plus physio for 3 months. Hang in there and let others help you with things. The pain will get better if you baby your arm, but don't be afraid to take your pain pills. Prayers for you.

I have taken my first round of meds (after the hospital's Torrodol Shot) & sleep came blissfully & for the most part painlessly. Thank you for the heads up & I will do as ordered.......
16706Take care of your injury first and the other things will have to wait, don't push it or it may take even longer to heal. Your family and friends will understand
67271I had the same and on my right too. Gave in and wore a cute hat as I couldn't style my hair, less makeup if at all, pullup pants were in order along with slip in shoes. Learned to use a left mouse for the computer, but it unfortunately got tossed across the room a couple of times out of frustration. After the initial frustration things did get a little better. Looking for the poisitive here, maybe the message is to downsize Christmas fussings and let others help you.

92391Ouch, Loralye..........I had a rotator cuff repair 20 years ago on my right shoulder........after surgery and 4 months of phys therapy, I have 100% range of motion, so hang in there.......I tore mine over exercising with weights.......I didn't allow enough time in between workouts to let things settle down......so my career as a weight lifter was cut short (LOL!)

31386058Know a little how you feel - tore my knee just standing up to answer the phone and turning as I stood! Not a good story. I'm so sorry this has happened to you and especially as we use our shoulder structure so much in hooping and stitching and cutting. Good luck with the physio and I hope you get a good team. Will be praying for all our pains and all your healing in the meanwhile. Oh, and your finances! Therapy was expensive to me.
