After surgery on my right shoulder cuff
I fell. It was ice and when I fell I had no idea that it would change my life forever! I had to be rushed to the hospital but no one knew I was there for 1 full hour. I laid there under my car freezing.
When I got to the hospital, they said My shoulder area, shattered. I was in no condition to ask any questions or make any demand so the doctor did what he thought to be right. I have a metal piece in my shoulder area.
I cry every night, its been a year now. I struggle to keep my job and i am in pain all the time. I take pain relievers but I am thinking about the rest of my life and I just want to know what are other options for my situation. I want to have some enjoyment in my life. Any body like my body? 🙂

@shayvee I'm sorry you have been in pain for so long, it sounds like more evaluation needs to be done.
Have you seen the original orthopedic surgeon to make sure the shoulder healed properly? Did you have physical therapy afterwards, and continue the recommended PT exercises at home?
yes & no. THIS IS MY FAULT ABOUT THE CONSTANT THERAPY. I JUST DIDNT WANT TO LOSE MY JOB. I KEPT WORKING BECAUSE I DONT HAVE TO USE MY ARMS MUCH. i NEED SOMETHING FOR THE PAIN AND ANY INFO. WOULD BE APPRECITATED.
