Seperated Shoulder.

[BWST]

I was unfortunate enough to be involved in a motor bike accident a couple of months back.

Resulting in me hitting the deck shoulder first. When i got up, and dusted myself off, it was obviously apparent something was wrong with my left shoulder.

It was sitting down very low, with my collar bone poking right out. I hadn't broken any bones, but ripped the shoulder off the tendons altogether, that attach it to the clavicle.

I have since had an operation. My shoulder was brought back up and pinned ( screwed ) with a surgical screw to bring it back up. In the past couple of weeks, the screw has started to loosen and my collar bone on that side is very prominent. I have been told, once the tendons are ripped, they cant be fixed.

Anyone else had anything similar, with better results ? Can the tendons be reattached ? what does a shoulder reconstruction involve ?

Much appreciated if anyone can give me similar experiences, advice or better answers than what i've been told.

Shoulders are a bitch.

I was assaulted by a patient years ago, and tore my rotator cuff. Took years to get better.

Lots of nerve probs after. Had an excellent surgeon though.

Wish i just tore a rotator cuff, i heal very good. But i did some major damage to my whole shoulder, collar bone set up.

It's aching like fu*$ as i type, it's looking like a set of sagging old curtains.
