I don't know how I did it - but I did have a fall last year and fractured my left knee and tore the rotator cuff in my left shoulder. I have a feeling I did this at the same time, and it has only started being painful recently. I can't think of any other way I could have done it. But apparently it could also be caused by age related atrophy of the tendon. It's a b**ch getting old!
But will see how the cortisone injections work. If I need to have the surgery, apparently it is arthroscopic surgery so it will be minimally invasive. |
Beamer is a handsome boy! I wish you luck with cortisone. Is the surgeon going to put the arm in a sling for a couple of days afterwards? be4 I went on my honeymoon had one into my wrist of course the right dominant wrist... and I wrapped wrist up for a couple of days, and tried to use the left hand. It certainly helped me, that swelling went down a lot.
Now I try to use my left hand more. Still not as near good as the right.
