Karma Blows

[parallax]

After giving "sound" medical advice about dislocations in this (http://www.farkin.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18500&start=0&postdays=0&postorder =asc&highlight=) thread, it seems that karma has teamed up with my own body to come get me.


GRANT DONALD presented to the Emergency Department at Prince Of Wales Hospital at 18:17. The presenting problem was DISLOCATED RT SHOULDER.

The diagnosis was SHOULDER DISLOCATION, CLOSED.

This 18yo man who presented with his 5th episode of right shoulder dislocation. He states that this has happened on a number of occasions while playing volleyball - spike - which happened today. Usually the dislocations have reduced spontaneously but today he presented to ED an required SCAPULAR MANIPULATION to reduce the shoulder.

O/E clinically dislocated right shoulder
neurovascularly intact

Post-reduction X-ray was normal.

I'm out of action for a while now, once the swelling has gone down I start a series of muscle strengthening activities. Unfortuneatley including swimming - how I hate the water.

So no right arm for a few days, no city rides for a few weeks, and no volleyball for a few months (completely shattered)...

parallax is now "injured crew" :(

:lol: my first reaction too!

Dude that's so unfortunate, sympathy.

Scapular manipulation, can you describe what this is for me? I know what the scapular is and have a basic concept of the shoulder joint (both muscular and skeletal).

Cheers.

PS, who was it that I was extolling the virtues of ambidexterous (sp?) wanking techniques to? Whoever you are, I rest my case :lol:

Doesn't that count as a "muscle strengthening exercise" though? :|
