shoulder dislocation - tales of woe/joy wanted 7-Jan-2009 At 10:41:14 AM Mr Milk

Message

thanks for all the tales guys... sorry to hear that some of you have the same problem! seems like surgery is the go though. I read a study about shoulder dislocation and surgery and over a group of about 100 sporters open rehabilitation surgery had a dislocation recurrance rate of 12% over a ten year period compared with over 60% recurrence for manual physio rehab. It seems quite good.

Hey Stu! Was your surgery Athroscopic or Open?

I've been trying to get a consultation with either Des Bokor or Jerome Goldberg, as both have been recommended, but it seems they earn plenty of cash from messed up joints and so are on holidays and things. I'm hoping I can maybe see a specialist sports injuries doctor who can recommend an alternative surgeon. Any ideas?

I'm getting all antsy about things and the closest appointment I can get is Feb 9th... :(

any help would be super.
