Playing after shoulder injury

I understand your predicament.

This is off topic, but Obama promised to cover health care for all children, not provide universal health care.

Hi
I must say I’m rather horrified after reading that no one in the health service will help you without insurance… IMO everyone is entitled to help, whether they can pay for it or not. In my country all health services are free. We don’t need health insurance, and we don’t need to pay. I’m sorry, I just am baffled at the system in the US.

What I was really going to say, is that I second the advice about water exercises. This really is good because it takes a lot of pressure off the joints while still exercising the muscle. I can’t advise you as to what exercises you should do, though, since I don’t have any personal experiences with shoulder injury myself.

Zen–I am currently recovering from frozen shoulder. After a few months of PT, which I called torture because they physically manipulated my arm every-which-way, I returned to the doctor who advised that I stop PT for a while but continue to do stretches on my own. He feels that sometimes it can stir things up more than calm things down. I really do believe in PT, but in this case I think the doctor was right. I can actually reach behind my back now.

Anyway, I do have printouts with illustrations of the stretches I was/am supposed to do, and I’d be happy to send you copies. E-mail me if you’d like them and send me your address.

All the best to you and your dad (I’ve been there, too).

Lisa
