I don’t know exactly what I did, but my left shoulder (the good one) is hurting, and has been for about a week. In addition, it’s getting worse. So, I scheduled an appt. with Dr. Speer, the orthopedist that did the reconstructive surgery on my right shoulder after my deer slaughtering event. I don’t know if everyone’s shoulders can do the same thing that mine can, but I’ve always been able to slide the shoulder socket slightly out of joint in order to position my arms in certain positions. If your holding your hand on the top of my shoulder, it feels like I’m able to simply move the ball out of the socket and down about 1″. Well, the left shoulder now appears to be falling down into that lower position when I don’t want it to, like when I’m lifting my arm to pick something up :-( That hurts when it happens A) frequently and B) when you aren’t expecting it. Normally if I slid it down like that intentionally I would do so at a point in time where there was little or not stress on the ball and socket so that it could move easily down. When it happens all on its own, the stress isn’t necessarily zero and the resulting friction and pressure as it slides down is the cause of a lot of the pain. I’m not sure what started this, since I don’t recall any specific event where I hurt it in any way, but it started sometime after the 4th of July weekend when we went to the lake and did a lot of swimming and jumping off the boat into the water. About the only thing I could guess is that maybe one of those dives but some stress on the joint that I didn’t realize and popped it down in the socket, and in the process loosened up the ligaments making it easier for it to happen in the future. But, I would have expected that to hurt, so I’m at a bit of a loss. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
