Also off my bike for a while... I think... now definitely!

stuff work to some extent... I'm NHS but when/if my op comes up I will get it. It may stop my sickness record of single days being off work sick less. My managers have been good as they know the pain I am in everyday, but I get clear ups, that I take more and more pain killers that they don't see, then I get up one morning and can't do it. A day in bed helps. Back next day feeling like crap but I do it.

I'd love to stuff work but right now I can't...

I actually lost a job as a result of my shoulder, so keep b*ggering on!

Have to say in my case it was probably just as well - I would have been in full-time rehearsals at the time my Mum was rushed into hospital a few weeks ago. Mum said it wasn't much of a silver lining for me but I think it is a silver lining to be available to your loved ones in distress.

I'll send you a PM

Hmm I've been reading around this potential posterior labral tear jobbie and it seems that it's usually from throwing a ball a lot (which I don't do) or from a trauma, direct fall...the only time I am aware of injuring my right shoulder in recent memory was when I got knocked off my bike in Feb 2014! It was deemed a soft tissue injury, quite nasty bruise from recollection but it was minor compared to the main injury and seemed to clear up in a few weeks, so I've not given it much thought. I'll have to quiz the specialist when I see him to get the MRI results next week!

That does sound a bit unlikely! - but shoulders are strange beasts...

MRI done this morning, results on Wednesday. Of course, I can't see anything amiss on the images I've been given (I do clearly appear to have some bones however, surrounded by streaky bacon )

Indeed, i was called at work to come home when my dad didnt have much time .

Tear in labrum confirmed. Very tight and weak muscles around shoulder, so going to try physio and strengthening for a while. There is a surgical fix but now not Right time. Will see how it is at end November. Poss get fixed just before Xmas if necessary or wait until March

Sorry to hear that

At least you have a diagnosis and can start working on it.

Ironically yesterday and today I have felt some extra movement in my frozen shoulder - I'm not celebrating yet but perhaps it is loosening up.

Good luck!

Read up on pain genie! You won't regret it.

Well after a very ouchy physio session to try to relieve some of the pain and inflammation, my shoulder has been mummified with a huge amount of tape to hold the joint in the right position. It's pretty uncomfortable and I don't think I'll be able to cycle much while it's on as I can't really move my arm fully

Ooh dear, that sounds awkward. What an odd feeling that must be. I hope it works for you!

Sat in bed scrolling through various posts when I found this. I have been diagnosed as having either an impingement or torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder which I am having a MRI scan for in a couple of weeks to confirm

I didn't realise how common this injury is, however for me it has been really debilitating, I'm a really active person and although I can still cycle I can't do much else!, I cannot raise my right arm more than 45deg although I can push/ pull things I cannot lift without having to use my left arm to support my right which makes things really awkward

I have no idea how I did this and it's driving me mad, I'm not a couch potato...
