I quickly learned that if you come into the gym and whine about any pain you might have, you better have a bone sticking through the skin or you will get mercilessly ripped on.
Seriously walk around with your hand in your back pocket at all times except for when you are rolling. A doctor would tell you not to roll (which you would ignore) and he wouls put your arm in a sling (which would open the joint and cause it to heal loose, leading to chronic dislocations for life) so keep it tucked in your back pocket 24/7 for the next 3 or 4o weeks except when you are (carefully) using it.
Daaaaaaayaaaaaamn get well soon bro and enjoy the pain relief as much as Im enjoying it right now.
Lmao! Nice.
I will say, that I wish I had. Damn thing never healed right, and now it's all sorts of messed up. It would at least be beneficial to know what the real damage is. If you have insurance, I'd say you should do it tbh. Even though you're a #man, doesn't mean you have to be a #stupidman. Hope it heals up well for you though.
I've done it several times before I know what it is, no need.
That's not at all what my doctor did. Although by the time I went to a doctor, a couple years later, the damage had been exacerbated. My doctor actually asked me what I wanted (to continue jits and judo) and tried to tailor my recovery in a way that would be best with that goal in mind. Specifically, he had me doing PT designed to strengthen the muscles in and around my shoulder to increase the stability of the joint.
My issue is a torn glenoid labrum and some minor issues with my bicep tendon, but the tear was the primary reason my shoulder was unstable. The tear allowed my shoulder to slip either partially or all the way out (mostly it would subluxe, meaning it wouldn't pop all the way out. He outlined two possible surgical approaches, one in which he goes in and cuts away the torn tissue, pinning it back down where possible, and the other where they would first cut away the tissue and repair it as much as possible, but then they would cut the sack which surrounds the shoulder, and pull it down and stitch it back together so the whole joint would be tighter.
The second option would cause a permanent decrease in shoulder flexibility.
Anyway, I chose (so far) to not have the surgery, I went through the PT. I was happy with the approach. I was happy that the surgeon did not A) tell me to stop rolling, or B) try to sell me on surgery (other than to explain the potential options). The PT folks, I thought, did a good job as well. Those bastards. lmao.
