does anyone here have rotator cuff injury experience?

My aunt just had rotator cuff surgery this week! I know she had her injury for a while, like a month or so, before she had the surgery. She kept thinking it was just a pulled muscle and it would work itself out.

I'm sorry I don't have any real useful information. I know it must be painful!

suzi anything i should do in the short term? can't go to hospital--no way am i sitting around there for nothing more than some painkillers. i have a chiro appt tomorrow

Poor Kristin! I have no advice, but much sympathy.

Someone make me go to bed. Desperate Housewives is just too damned addictive.

Anti-inflammatories and resting it. Wish I could offer more. I did some stretching, but not at first - so chiro is probably the best step for now. Just getting from here to there.

Yeah, I'd say the same thing. Advil, and rest it. Try to find a way to sit (maybe propped up with some pillows) so that it hurts as little as possible.

I have new hairdo:

Hot!

Sorry, Kristin. Don't throw fastballs for a couple weeks? (It's a common injury in baseball.)

Hot!

Whee! Thanks!

Oi! Why am I still up?! (aside from the flattery feedback) I have to get up early and go to the dingdang polls tomorrow.

Don't throw fastballs for a couple weeks?

My mother did not appreciate it when I responded to her rotator cuff injury by saying, "This could end your pitching career." Physical therapy helped her a lot.

Whee! Thanks!

Honestly, you look great. Supercool rockstar.

{{{Kristin}}} I hope you can get some sleep tonight, since resting your arm is probably the best thing you could do before seeing the chiropractor tomorrow.

lisah is foamy! I love the hair.

My brain is once again dead from science. Time for bed.
