I dislocated my shoulder a month and two weeks ago and on the third week now….
the problem is, my shoulder cant move upwards at any cost.
the healing procses is suspecious, even im not really sure if my shoulder is healing or not, maybe it wont recover,
so there are no short cuts too, so if its been like a month and two weeks and the beggining of the third week and its not healed, how damn long does it take to heal that if it does.

really get upset all day when trying to hi5 my gf, it gets sore and dull pain and even when taking a ride, it hurts like hell, …

really desperate about it, and believe somehow there is no treatment for the shoulder once its dislocated. really frustrated and this is getting insane,
write anything you know plzzzz

want to invest the summer holiday…
chheeeez

I’m very bored & been depressed. The boredom is making me angry, frustrated, & depressed. I feel panicky, like my life is fading away. I feel like I have no purpose on this Earth, & people treat me like trash for no reason.

People keep deleting me off of their MySpace for no reason, too. My cousin took me off of her friend’s list for some unknown reason. My family hates me. Mom, dad, sisters, brothers, even twin sister, cousins, aunt, uncle, nieces, nephews, etc. all hate me because I’m not thuggish.

People who "know" me, all try to avoid me & think I’m crazy because of my OCD, anxiety, Tourette’s, & severe depression; yet they tell me I shouldn’t associate with strangers. I’m not 4 yrs. old. I don’t need anyone telling me I shouldn’t speak to strangers.

I’m 25 with a BA degree in Spanish here in the US. I have to start back from scratch with beginner’s Spanish. No one wants to communicate with me, in English or Spanish. People treat me like I have leprosy or some other plague. Just b/c of my neurological disability & anxiety/depression disorders.

Yesterday, I told my friend that I may as well tear up & throw away my degree certificate, since so many people tell me that my college degree means nothing, & that I’ll be a failure. & than no one will hire me on the job b/c of my Tourette’s tics.

Well, my friend got REALLY mad @ me & said, "I hope you’re not freakin’ serious!" I said, "No. I’m not serious. I’m just talking trash. But I do feel useless, hopeless, & worthless, like my life is over."

She said, "It’s a shame how people make you feel that lowly about yourself! It’s not right. They’re discriminating. They see your disability is obvious, so they should respect that. I’m always here for you."

I just need that constant reassurance that she’ll be there for me because I’ve had moments where people would be nice to me for a good 5 or 6 yrs., & they just all of a sudden turn their nose up @ me & try to avoid me, & I don’t know what I did for them to betray me. They give me the silent treatment/cold shoulder. Some of them end up bullying me.

My life is very complicated & unusual. & with this 1 friend, I pray EVERY day that she won’t turn evil on me, based on other people’s dirty opinions about me. My life is SO abnormal that people hardly believe anything that comes out of my mouth.

You tell me how normal this is. I’m 25, & 12-yr. olds try to boss me around, tell me what to do, or try to control me & tell me how to live my life. & their parents try to MAKE me do what their child tells me to do. People treat me like I’m too stupid to know left from right. Like I don’t know any better.

I remember 1 time, I was in college, & I saw a former high school teacher of mine @ WalMart. She SAW me graduate from high school, walking across the stage, receiving my diploma, in the top 10% of my class. 39 out of 410 students. & this lady asked me, publicly in front of everyone in WalMart, if I know how to cook for myself & take care of myself. I’m like, "This is sad!!"

I have a college degree, & 1 of the foster sisters (I used to be in foster care) asked me if I know how to cook easy mac in the microwave! Wow! If I can get my degree, drive from Milwaukee, Wisconsin ALL the way back to New Orleans, …

I have nothing else to say. I feel like crying. I’m about to melt down. I’m tired of suffering.

I just stay home here in Texas. Employers don’t want to hire me. I have only 1 friend, & I’m afraid she might turn against me like everyone else. I feel like I have nobody. I just stay in my apt. all day. I have social anxiety. I can’t walk out the door of my apartment without someone telling me something dirty or staring @ me. Every interaction with another human being puts me @ risk for going to jail for disturbing the peace with my TS outbursts, or the mental hospital b/c people bully me, & the cops don’t care about my disability. I had 2 strokes @ age 5.

Every day I have physical aches & pains. Indigestion & IBS, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, no energy at all. I’m always sick. I’m afraid I might not live long. & with all this stress, I might have a heart attack or another stroke. I’m so scared. Very scared. & no one understands nor cares about me.

I have this numbing pain in both back and shoulder, sometimes this pain can ‘travel’ to my arm. I feel very uncomfortable and easily irritated due to this symptoms.

Side impact round-about crash, my head was facing left at the time of impact (just became aware of the car speeding out of the junction into the side of me, basically).

Relatively, the pain hasn’t been that bad and the ‘constant’ pain left within 2 weeks, visited Doc at the time, diagnosed, told rest and I’ll be fine in a week or so.

When the constant pain left I started activities as normal, and since then (about a month and 2 weeks on) anytime I cycle/dig the allotment/exercise I’m faced with constant aching pain around my shoulder and collar bone for the remainder of the day, and the next day until it goes away, longest the pain has stayed was a week but I must of over done it or something.

I can deal with the pain but it is annoying, and I hate having to ‘rest’. Though I don’t want to be going through a cycle of doing something then having to rest for the next two days and risk the process of healing in anyway.

Is there any treatment available that can really help? I hate going to the doctors, but I will force myself to go if it can really help, I don’t want to be stuck in these cycles.

I hurt my shoulder about 3 weeks ago. I woke up the morning after a heavy workout (weights & sprints) and could hardly move my shoulder. At first I thought I’d slept on it wrong, but I started to feel intense pains when my shoulder would move in certain directions.

I gave it two weeks and couldn’t stand it, so I went back to the weight room. While doing a preacher curl my elbow popped out a little and it shot a huge burst of pain through my shoulder. It felt incredibly weak and painful after that.

My shoulder is stronger right now, but there is still pain when Iift things or move it in certain hard to describe directions. I’m getting antsy not being able to lift and wonder how long it will take for the pain to dissipate–or even to know what could be wrong.

I went to a free consult with a chiropractor, but he feels it’s due to a kink in my neck and suggested a year’s worth of treatment 3x/wk. Since I don’t have insurance as it is, that’s not a viable option even if I accepted the diagnosis.

Any insights?

I was diagnosed with RA in 2000. I have suffered with chronic pain for years, mostly in the winter months. My doctors are not sympathetic-I have tried pain management clinics-specialists-surgeons etc. No relief. Pain meds, ugh…doctors are so nervous the rather let me suffer. WHY?
They wish for me to continue therapy. Im so depressed, I ache all night long-killing my sex drive-poor hubby-I toss and turn all night.
Anyone have any advice with dealing with this illness or doctors. I feel so alone, Im young and am so worried about getting older and worse. This disease consumes my life during the winter. I can’t drive, eat, cook, type or write without tears in my eyes. My hubby thinks it is all in my head. I cant even play with my kids! I am on the search for a new doc. with empathy. How in the world can I manage anymore. I feel like a failure at work, home and as a wife. My grandma had RA and she was a crippled mess of a woman by time she was 65. Any advice would be appreciated.

My Mom has be on massive doses of pain meds- for post op treatment from various surgeries for 25 or more years. Hip replacements, knee replacements shoulder replacements back surgery, gastrointestinal surgery. No vital organ surgery. And her most significant problem is mild diabetes. And of course tolerance to pain meds. And now she has developed a "tremor" (non-neuro) they are treating with valium along with the pain meds. Is there any "detox" options???

I’ve been diagnosed with a "torn tendon" which may lead to a "frozen shoulder".
Doctor has offered a cortisone injection "into joint" to relieve pain and inflammation.
Has anyone else had this done and did you experinece any long-term side effects?
Was injection effective or did you also need other treatment?
Thanks in advance

Dr. doesn’t have much to say. MRI shows multiple partial thickness tears in both shoulders. I am active and have major intention to heal. I now have atrophy, as in skin hanging from tiny arms. I have worked past major pain in both pilates and yoga, no relief, no muscle? Can’t sleep, searing pain. If anyone has had similar issues, please share offer any comments. Thank you,thank you

I rear-ended someone yesterday evening on my way home from work and when I woke up this morning my neck and shoulders were all stiff. I thought maybe I just slept weird but the stiffness and tenderness pain have persisted all day. I am going to head to the doctor once my bf is home from work, but am kinda curious as to what (if anything) can actually be done to treat whiplash?
