Shoulder Injury Posted: 08-28-07 15:48pm
3 days ago I was starting my lawn mower,
it is one of the pull-cord types. As I
was pulling the cord released quickly, I
am guessing it was coiled funny, and as I
was pulling full strength it let loose. I
had immediate moderate pain in my
shoulder. I can draw a line across the
back of my shoulder around the head of the
humerus where it hurts. I have been icing
and applying heat for comfort.
History: Same shoulder has had a grade 2
separation and a full anterior labrum tear
repaired by open bankart in Dec. 2000.
Does this sound like a sprain/strain or
possibly more like a rotator?
Thanks.

Well, first off...injuries are prone to
repeat themselves, right? I might suggest
that you see an orthopedist to be
sure...to check your flexibility and
rotation and to examine the location of
the pain. It's really worth it to get a
diagnosis. Do you think you've injured
yourself in the same way?

The previous injury was caused by a fall
where the arm was bent behind me and
landed on the socket. This one was a
complete different motion, and the pain is
different. With the original labrum tear
my shoulder was so unstable that it would
roll out of socket if I lift my arm above
my head. This time I can lift it but
there is pain associated with it, and can
not lift it completely to the side.
Mostly what I have seen/read is to give it
time to see if it gets better. If not,
then I will go to the doctor and see what
they think.
Thanks for your reply honey bunny

Sounds like a plan. And watch out for
those killer lawn mowers - they're nasty!
Let us know if/when you see a specialist.
I'd be interested to know how it
ends...Take Care!
