Shoulder pain?
\lthough it has gone away know last week while skiing i had some shoulder pain. I first hurt my shoulder in the summer when i capsized my kayak and had to wrench myself up with it. Secondly late last year in badminton i did an over hand shot and it clicked and ground. I couldnt stretch it behind my back. Recentley im not sure what i did to it but while ski ing it hurt to push with my poles and it was painful to pull myself up onto my bunk. The pain is totally gone at the moment so i do not need or want advice on medicine or treatment.

What i want to know is what was wrong with my shoulder these times?

Was it the ligermants or muscles?

Are the injuries related and will it reioccure?

Thankyou!

p.s. i am 14 years old and quite sporty

I had my doctor send in a letter of predetermination to my Insurance Co stating that i have 2 inch gap in my upper abdominal rectus and a 4 inch gap below the navel & my decending aorta is exposed which can be felt easily, which could potantially kill me if i acidentally get kicked or rammed in he tummy the wrong way by playing children or a car seatbelt. The only kinda docs that will perfom this kinda surgery is a plastic surgeon. But HE said its not considered plastic surgery because is rather reconstructive due 3 pregnancys close together over stretched my abdominal wall causing it to separate. I do not want a tumy tuck..but the insurance company insists that its cosmetic and said they'd only repair my herniated belly button. I have two docs saying the same thing and i need to get the ab wall closed asap because they can easily feel my decending aorta. The insurance co still denys payment for this. should i appeal it or am I a o l? any suggestions r helpful.

I think i've posted this question like 3 times...but its seems to get worse.

I am majorly stressed right now. 2 huge exams...2 papers and a big project all next week.

I've tried everything. Sleeping pills, alcohol...working out before bed.....watching chick flicks. Only think that has worked is alcohol, but i have to get black out drunk....and yeah...thats not a viable option.

I haven't taken sleeping pills in about 2 weeks then popped two and was up for 6 more hours.

Dad prescribed me xanax, but he gave me the lowest strength and i'm a bit worried about taking more than that. (i get addicted to things easily).

By not sleeping...i only plan to get 4 hours a night....and thats what happens. I'll wake up at 9 am from 4 hours of lseep and can probably pull an all nighter the following day. I nomrally can force myself back to bed by 9 am the next day and then i end up sleeping 4 hours only.

If I had a Prescription for the diapers, they would be covered in full. If I explain my situation to my doctor, will he prescribe me adult diapers?

About a month ago I lifted my backpack full of all my textbooks to go sell back to the bookstore at my college. I lifted it with my left arm and instantly hurt the muscle behind/under my shoulder. It has been 6 weeks since that happened. And now I am back to weight lifting and I used to do 120lbs on a should machine but it hurts my left shoulder muscle so much that I can only do about 30lbs with out pain. Any ideas how to heal whatever is hurt? And by the way if i matters I am a male, 6 foot 3 inches, 164lbs, and healthy.
