@sunnyflower I try not to think of myself as accident prone... LOL.. instead I focus on what I need to do to recover if I am injured. A SLAP tear stands for abbreviations for the name of the injury and specific tear to the shoulder cartilage. That happened to me some years ago and it is completely healed. I think our bodies always remember injuries with some stiffness or scar tissue. I do have a lot of physical injuries that I've talked about here with the shoulder issues, the spine injury, and the recent ankle fracture last May and my collection of surgeries. I could just about be a physical therapist since I've learned so much with my own rehab and if you pay attention, you have some stories to tell. Another thing I've learned is that bad habits lead to injuries, like the slouching I did for years that moved my shoulder too far forward in the socket, and then when I reached into the back seat and yanked on something that was stuck, my shoulder was in a position of vulnerability and it didn't take very much to tear the cartilage. I felt a sharp pain when I did that. Thanks for your concerns, Sunnyflower. Right now I will direct that to my ankle that is still healing and needs your good energy the most.
