vesna, good to see your name on a post; has neen a while. you asked what i
did to my shoulder. well, to begin with, i had a rotator cuff repair on
june 8, 2004. went to pt for three months and was doing well. shortly
after i finished pt i carried a 12 can carton of drinks from the car into
the house using that arm, twice. didn't hurt that day but sure did the
next. ended up having another tear in the repaired shoulder which i had to
have repaired again. however dr, said the surface had started healing from
the previous surgery, but underneath had not. so he wasn't sure that i had
caused it,or if it was from osteopenia or osteoporosis--because the bone was
very soft. he could only get one anchor to hold and had to go through the
bone to fasten things down. anyway, we are taking things very slowly this
time with big slings, pt, etc.
sorry your shoulders are so bad, happy for you that you are walking; so
different from the first time you posted here. welcome back.

What is the original thin you had done? You had shoulder
replacement (don't know if that exists actually) or something
else?

? My god, this is SF to me, carrying more than 1 cup of juice...
But the same was with walking ;)

The first rotator cuff repair was the first thing done to it.
