firemalt 10 Posted August 4, 2008 So I'm not sure if anyone knows I dislocated my shoulder during a dirtbike race back in April, this year. It was a fairly simple wreck that invovled me trying to stick a pass in on someone when I should of just been a little more patient and waited for a better spot. My front tire clipped he rear tire, and down I went. Right shoulder dislocated on a ranch in Texas, 30 miles from town. Over the last 4 months, I have recovered nicely. Working out to rebuild the muscles about the shoulder, rehabbing the ligaments in the shoulder, seeing a sports/medicine doctor on a regular basis. Everything's been great... until yesterday. While on duty at the FD, we went to the gym to workout. I started to do some back excerises, ones I do on a normal routine, and was even doing a lighter weight cause I was still warming up. I got on the lat pulldown machine, set it to 120lbs. Going through my reps just fine, and then on the 10th rep as I was allowing the bar back down... POP! The SOB popped out of socket!!! I instantly knew what had happened, but was shocked cause it didn't give me any warning. My captain had just walked back into the gym from getting some water, and saw the whole thing unfold. He was speechless as I stood up and grabbed my arm for support. So I spent a few hours in the E.R. yesterday So this is the second time this has happened in 4 months... I think it's safe to say that we'll be looking at surgery this time. :- If I type some crazy stuff over the next few days... it's just the hydrocodone talking, lol.

firemalt 10 Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks all, for the support. With racing sportbikes, and doing a bunch of other crazy stuff in the past, I have truely beaten my body up and have felt pain on a lot of different occasions. Dislocating a shoulder is right up there with having a broken rib! I think what made it worse, is I knew what to expect. I knew how much pain was about to be involved, how long it was going to take to get the meds on board, and how long it would take to get the bone back into place. :- To make things worse... they are talking about NOT covering it on workmens comp, since this was from a previous injury while not on duty. Looks like may become a legal thing in the end... glad my fiancee's baby sister is great attorney! Shelia... I wish the hydrocodone was working. I'm taking 1 - 750mg every 4 hours, and it's not helping much! They make me hyper more than anything!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
