Injuries - June 2006

Back in October I seperated my shoulder playing soccer (a GK at my university). I loosened the ligaments in my shoulder, tore my labrum (cartiledge), and tore my rotator cuff slightly. I'm scheduled for surgery soon and I'd like to know how long I should expect it to take before I'm back at 100% and doing pull-ups again. The doc said he'll be tightening the ligaments and repairing the cartiledge but will most likely do very little, if anything, to my rotator cuff. I know I'll be doing rehab for a while and that each person is different when it comes to recovery, but how long did it take any of you to recover from a similar surgery?

It's been only two weeks and my wrist feels fine now. Why go back to the doctor if I can cut the cast off myself?

I was in a car accident and my knee smashed against the dash. I also broke my wrist. The wrist was the "imediate pain" so the knee wasnt noticed until after the fact. For the first two weeks after the accident my knee was black and blue, swollen and very tender. I was having no pain while walking so I didnt believe that it was broken-just badly bruised. 10 months after the accident I still have swelling. When I press the area I can actually feel the "swishing" from the obvious water retention. If I purposely try to make my knee crack-it will repeatedly. In other words if I am sitting on a chair and extend my leg repeatedly the knee will continue to crack. I have no pain while walking, however, my joint seems to feel "tired" after walking (exercise pace) for about 15 minutes. I can kneel on my knee with a little discomfort. What is goin on?
