I actually had my G.P. phone me back. She said that there was a tear in the rotator cuff that showed up in the X-ray. I am to have an M.R.I., but as it is 2 months since the injury, surgery will probably be ruled out. That is because the shoulder starts to close the gap, and it’s not always possible.
If that is the case then a cortisone shot will help with the pain, and hopefully there would be improvement with physical therapy.
I have to have blood drawn to ensure that my kidneys will take the M.R.I., so that will be done this week. I am off to the beach next week, so the earliest it can due is Monday 14th June. It takes the medical insurance people a minimum of 5 days to agree to it, and I was hoping for Friday.
So if it’s not too late, and it could be by the time I get answers. Yes, a week for the X-day result, and this is the same imaging center. Boxing, and weight lifting might be a thing of the past for me.
I am so sorry, Susie! It would be too bad to lose something you so enjoy. I hope things will work out for you. 🤞

Dont count out the sport activities you like. When I broke my femur I was told I would never ride again. Well I did and I’m still riding . I recommend the best physio you can get that makes a big difference. Good luck Susie.

I figured I would have my boxing, lifting, and core . They would be my support through this time, but it’s the boring treadmill

It will probably be physically therapy, and no guarantee that I will get it back. Surgery is doubtful, but the MRI will let us know.

Could take a up to a year if it’s surgery which I believe it’s too late for.
