today is three weeks to the day after a type III shoulder separation of right shoulder. was on the bike about a week and a half ago. so that's about 17 days. still hurts, big bump, makes a few funny noises from the ligaments, etc. i did a self-diagnosis, (no docs, emergency room, etc.) and used OTC Ibuprofen. this is nine months after a permanent Sternoclavicular dislocation of my left shoulder. again, a couple weeks off, ibuprofen, etc, but tn that case, i wasted about 1000 dollars trying to find an orthopedic surgeon that would even seriously discuss relocating it, which i thought was possible, but is apparently not. of course, i'm not as handsome as i was
, and i'll never play the violin for the London Philharmonic again...
BTW, both were high-sided wrecks.
yesterday, while out, i saw a guy go down on the low-side. he was eventually carted away in an ambulance. (left shoulder). it hurts equally in either direction, i'm sure.
