SHOULDER UPDATE:

Today, I went to Coventry for a second opinion about my shoulder.

I went through my history with one of the doctors who then sent me for an x-ray so that they could have a better idea of how my structure is after tearing the tendons again.

@BJSM_BMJ @Marco_dube I would be interested in any information about patients with permanently dislocated shoulders (i.e. more than 1 torn rotator cuff tendon) and return to full activity).

[DragonSports Massage @DragonSportsMas]

@MattDelBrocco Mine look like Swiss Cheese. No repair possible (or so I’ve been told).

Well, I'm taking time off to concentrate on my own rehabilitation. Having a permanently dislocated shoulder and multiple inoperable tendon tears, I think it might be time to call it a day as a sports massage therapist. I'll be taking my Twitter page down in a day or two. G'bye.

“very significant superior migration of the humeral head indicating irreparability of [the] cuff which is now retracted to the level of the glenoid.” Where does this leave me? Answers on a postcard, please. #rotatorcuff #shoulder #sportsmassage #physiotherapy

So, what’s a mobile sports massage therapist to do with a shoulder that has: “a failed revision cuff repair with augmentation grafting” (so, torn tendons of: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, & long head of biceps). Plus…

Looking forward to the @SportsMassUK Study Morning happening shortly. Great list of speakers! #sportsmassage #cpd #learning

[DragonSports Massage @DragonSportsMas]

I may never be able to go back to being a sports massage therapist as I cannot guarantee that I can work the arm as I would need to do during treatment, but I'm seeking advice on that.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

[DragonSports Massage @DragonSportsMas]

Well, they are no longer aligned and this is because of the damaged rotator cuff muscle no longer keeping the head of the humerus in place so that a lovely arch should be formed - but is not (Purple Arch).

[DragonSports Massage @DragonSportsMas]

Second opinion appointment has been received. Further info as it is given.

[DragonSports Massage @DragonSportsMas]

Latest on my shoulder reconstruction. Somehow I managed to tear the graft in my shoulder which was a boring the supraspinatus & long head bicep tendon. On top of that, I somehow tore the subscapularis tendon which had previously been uninjured. Being referred for 2nd opinion. 🙄

[DragonSports Massage @DragonSportsMas]

@AdamMeakins Wow. I’m speechless. Do clients not come back after one treatment because they are truly “fixed” or, do they not return because they’ve been exfoliated & flayed alive & are too polite to say? I was taught you should never cause your clients pain (discomfort is natural), not pain.

[DragonSports Massage @DragonSportsMas]

@Myprotein I’d like to move on in my shoulder rehab & get back to strength work.
