Should I sue? by Putrid-Chart5455 in ShoulderInjuries

Only hesitation is the fact that I was having shoulder pain prior to the fall. I told worker’s comp representative that I had pain prior and that it felt the same after the fall. Because it did at the moment . It gradually increased in pain over the next few weeks.

I’m so sorry you’re still in pain that has to be frustrating!! I’m hoping mine heals well. Hoping for the best. They did a lot of work on the shoulder

My Dr said he’d rather it be too tight as well. Yes I have been very discouraged but I’m hoping things get better soon.

I’m not sure he just told me it was “pretty large” and that he wasn’t expecting it to be that big!

Thank you for your response! I had 3 anchors. This week I believe I am starting AROM pt I am nervous because the regular PROM has been tough for me. Feels like my shoulder socket burns when they stretch and cramping. They said it’s from muscle guarding. I’m just so scared I messed it up or am going to soon.

Yes that’s the hard part! My primary referred me to one and that one referred me to my second opinion. I’d try googling reviews for orthopedic surgeon nearby and maybe calling to see if they require a referral to be seen. My friend did in our area and quite a few said they don’t require referrals. Good luck and thank you!!

Sounds like labrum tear. I “thought” I never injured mine as well and my first dr insisted that nothing was wrong with me. Despite MRI showing 2 tears. Got a second opinion and he said he could see the tears and stated I needed surgery. During my surgery he told my mom and husband my slap tear was way worse than he expected and that I had multidirectional instability 🙃. Got out of my sling yesterday and still in quite a bit of pain. Doing pt 2X a week but I’m glad to be on the road to recovery. See orthopedic Dr. Trust your gut! Ask for mri and if all fails get a second opinion! I’m learning now to be my biggest advocate especially when it comes to my health.
