[QUOTE="smilinicon, post: 156083, member: 21907"] I started therapy for my shoulder and arm today... I know when I was first injured I looked for a post like this, so I thought I would post it now. I broke my right shoulder (Humorus, actually) completely through the 'Surgical Neck'. My Orthopedic described it as 'kibbles and bits', and after X-rays and an MRI, we decided that surgery would not improve things much ( I agreed as I did not want metal in my bones in these Midwest winters). I strapped on an imobilizer and took Vicodin every four hours for 14 days. There is no laying flat with a shoulder injury, but comfort can be found with properly placed pillows. I tried to eat well and on my Dr's advice began a multi-vitamin and calcium supplement (not exeding the MDA). X-rays showed the bone healing well and the imobilizer was removed after 4 weeks. The arm was very sensitive, but soon improved daily and I began range of motion exercises. My first 'terrer-py' session went well... I feel the improvements already. I do have some serious pain and work to go before getting back to normal (I plan to get BETTER than before!) Just writing this post to let someone know that the world doesn't end with an injury like this and things get better. If you are going riding and feel the need to not wear all of your protective gear, turn and go back home - never go without gear that can save you much trouble and pain. [/QUOTE]
