Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

I should set an appointment for my shoulder, but I probably wont!

Gosh I wish I could run forever without being out of breath. It always happens to me.

How severe is it? If you don’t get it fixed, it will still remain that way!

Physical therapy is a waste of time and money in my honest opinion. I never did the stretches at home no matter how much they told me to. If you want to fight a shoulder injury, my best advice is to just start lap swimming. As close to every day as possible.

I think they call it like shoulder instability

Often turning in my sleep, certain weight lifting, etc. Will make my shoulder feel like its being ripped out of the socket. It just slides back to normal when I move it, but its a lot of pain and it remains very sore for a while

Ough, my shoulder always hurt when I need to sleep

When my shoulder feels like it rips, I can’t use it. So if it happened while I swam, I’d drown

ā€œFixedā€ unless you have a rotator cuff tear, surgery will never be authorized. If you have full range of motion, even if it’s obscenely painful, there is no way there is a tear. I also had a pretty bad shoulder injury a couple years ago, and I had to advocate my ass off just to get an MRI authorized. The only one who can fix it is oneself

I doubt you have a tear. But i guess you have to start more gently since it’s so rusty

I could really use a motivational speaker oftentimes

just get friends

but I dont have any motivational friends, so dont ask me how

I’m willing to try to fill this role if you want

I don’t think its a great habit to get into.

Doctors from my experience aren’t out to get things wrong. Either they’ve seen cases like yours where someone was wrong about what is wrong, or they can’t see the evidence to go with what your feeling.

You have a bias to believe what your feeling, and want to have a doctor agree with you. Trust me, after 7 years of doctors telling me they can’t figure out what causes my brain to not function correctly, I get it.
