Injured Reserve
15 years ago
Several months ago I tore up my shoulder doing yard work of all things. Hurt for a few days and then degraded to just hurting when I did certain motions with it but it's been lingering for a while now and lately getting worse. While I was in school I wasn't able to do anything about it but with school out I went and had it looked at. Got a mo-hunking cortizone shot in it and then started in on physical therapy for it which I'm doing now. Long and short of it the short term cure is worse than the problem and my shoulder's always sore and achy now though it is helping, I can already move it better than I could before. And since it's my drawing arm, I can't really do much with it in that regard, it starts acting up after about five minutes. So, I won't be doing anything with it for a bit. I have some old things I drew a while ago that need coloring though, so I'll try to keep up with that.

I already did, that's who gave me the big shot and sent me to the orthopedic place. I'm told it won't take too long to get back to normal, just a pain in the ass until then.

Occupational therapy worked for me. That's after a few corty shots and several visits to the chiropractor.

OP
That's what I've been doing, have to go back to the doc here in a couple weeks to see if he needs to shoot me up again. At least it isn't severe so I won't be at it long.

I remember the many chiropractor visits and hundreds of dollars spent with mixed results. I remember the few corty shots with temporary results. I remember the occupational therapy sessions actually working.

Oof. It's definitely good that it's not a permanent injury, especially in a place like that. Hope it doesn't keep acting up for too long.
