serge 904 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Ugh, if I'm reading WebMD correctly, I think I probably have a low-grade separation. This is gay, I hate going to the doctor.you have an upper body injury ..Day to day. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Completely non-medical opinion, my first thought was separated shoulder.Yeah, same but I wasn't going to say anything because really, WTF do I know. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'm contacting Zach's mother on Facebook to see inquire about his injury. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Shoulder separation is probably correct. Hold something in your hand that weighs about 2-3 pounds. Does the simple traction of that weight pulling down hurt? If so, separation. Nothing they can or will do if you go to the doctor... Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Holding something that light doesn't do anything if I'm just holding it directly downwards (ie just letting gravity do it), but I don't think I could lift it over my head without significant pain.I can't really move my right arm away from my body at all without it hurting, even carrying nothing.It's sore to the touch as well, but I don't see any bruising.And you guys can talk to my Mom all you want, she's already talked me into going to the hospital.I have my priorities straight tho, and I'm going for that pint at 2:30 first. lol.

If it doesn't hurt with traction, it might be a crack or worse. Hope it works out okay for you. I would rather blow a knee than have shoulder problems.. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Damn damn damn. It doesn't hurt if I have it supported or even just hanging freely. Hope it's the best case scenario. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I would rather blow a knee than have shoulder problems..I think I could agree with that. I dislocated my left shoulder 3 times in 2 years, with two surgeries. Still effing hurts. Link to post Share on other sites

They have a new technique where they staple the tear back together, but they can't do it with everyone. That really sucks Zach... Link to post Share on other sites
