Went to the Cinema last night... we saw Casanova... good film worth seeing...

Anyway got home feeling fine... lifted my arm up to put my keys down and noticed a painful twinge in my right shoulder... :suspect:

Getting ready for bed i realised it was getting worse... got into bed thinking its just one of those things that will be gone by morning... how wrong could i've been...

I've woken this morning to find that i'm in twice as much pain... but this could be due to no movement whilst sleeping tho... hoping so...

Just thinking how the hell i've managed to put my shoulder out!? from being in the cinema to driving in the car to coming home!? I've not done any sudden movements or carrying lifting etc... :huh:

Weird!

Answers on a postcard please to... PO Box SF :wink:

Angel, as you know (i think) i dislocated my shoulder the other day and it ended up ina sling, the sling was driving me mad only having 1 arm to do simple things like your hair and stuff so last night i decided to take it off,my shoulder still kills now but it feels better because im moving it and its getting better quicker..well so i hope, but i didnt know how i did mine either. Everyone thought i had been drinking and fell but i didnt..strange :confused:

could have been how you were sat in the cinema....if you were using the arm rests on the chairs' there a little too high up for me and your shoulder could have frozen to this position????:confused:

I did think you were slightly mad in not knowing what you'd done... but now i'm in the same position :? weird...

Yes your doing right... movment is the best thing to do... a sling was probably wrong as your tending to keep it still... in our situation movement is the best cure... :) hope you get better soon...

I'd already put my seating into consideration... came to the conclusion i'd not been sitting awkwardly... and wasnt using the arm rests...

The mystery thickens! :suspect:

I can usually blame it on the alcohol, however it appears none was involved in this instance!! Hope it gets better soon, and you work out the mystery! :P

When I was 19 I slipped a disc in my neck by picking a piece of paper up- but I know now that the reaching to pick up the paper wasn't the overall cause, it was simply the last straw after weeks of cumulative damage and not addressing minor stresses caused by poor posture and overuse of the area.

I hope that you both recover quickly, and would recommend getting an opnion from an osteopath or physio (if you can afford it) to help your recovery.
