Mental Health Support

Had a great doctor for the first, and a good one for the second.

The pain is bad with shoulder surgery, and the second one they gave me one of those med things you press and it just releases into your bloodstream, which was nice while it lasted.

But any pain pills make me horribly sick, so after the pain press thing was gone, I just depended on ibuprofen or aleve. Believe me, I know your pain. I never even used the oxy stuff, that makes me vomit.

The trauma was so bad for both that I'm no dealing with something called avascular arthritis or something. Not good. Will have to have the shoulder replaced. Whenever I need it done lol.

I'm used to the pain, and I'm almost used to not being able to lift my arms over my head, but it's horrible and frustrating. Putting on a jacket can be cause for a meltdown.

Do whatever you can with physical therapy and just keep it moving. Heat helps me, but some say ice is better. a vibrating pad really soothes it too. Sending you good thoughts...been there done that twice. Let us know how it goes.

Hang in there.
