Scuba Forum / UK Scuba / January 2005Not a happy Teddy Bear
Well, Just got the results of the state of my shoulder. No swimming, golf, heavy lifting, diving [1] or fun [2] for the next few months. There's a bit more damage needs to be fixed yet. Not too happy at the moment :-( DaveA [1] Even abroad before you start Jones :-) [2] However I can still go Skiing apparently, go figure. > Well, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > [2] However I can still go Skiing apparently, go figure. The doc must be planning on giving you an anti-falling-over-and -landing-on-your-shoulder note then? Cheers Graham > The doc must be planning on giving you an anti-falling-over-and > -landing-on-your-shoulder note then? > Cheers > Graham Yeah I thought it odd. Apparently with the diving he's worried about potential pressure changes inside the joint, and bits of calcium build up detatching. As he's a Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon not a diving doc I suppose I'll do as I'm told. With the Skiing I suppose there's not alot of shoulder use, falls are (fairly) soft, and he's got to operate again anyway so what more damage can I do? :-) DaveA > Apparently with the diving he's worried about > potential pressure changes inside the joint, and > bits of calcium build up detatching. More likely, he simply does not understand the risks. Since it's a shoulder, however, he may be concerned about the movement required to get in and out of kit. Who knows. > As he's a Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon not > a diving doc I suppose I'll do as I'm told. Good idea. There will still be diving when you're healed. > With the Skiing I suppose there's not alot of shoulder use, > falls are (fairly) soft, and he's got to operate again > anyway so what more damage can I do? :-) Maybe the falls are easy where you ski. I ski hardpack and there's nothing soft about my falls. As for what more damage you can do, I think that's a question you'd rather not answer the hard way. Take it easy, heal and get on with your life, diving any otherwise, This too shall pass. Lee > Apparently with the diving he's worried about > potential pressure changes inside the joint, and > bits of calcium build up detatching. Dave for what it is worth, when my arthritis was diagnosed my consultant said that he thought that the compression caused my diving was a benefit, and that I should continue. Steve >> Apparently with the diving he's worried about >> potential pressure changes inside the joint, and [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >said that he thought that the compression caused my diving was a >benefit, and that I should continue. I can only add some anecdotal but personal experience. After a week or two diving on high O2's my joints ache less.

Could I be so bold as to ask what form you have? I'm mid thirties and suffering (as are most of my family) from the 'wear and tear' type... The doc said that I'd be lucky to get new hips and knees until I was sixty.... So anything that might bring a tad of relief would be much appreciated... not to mention the diving points potential with the wife if it we a necessary medicinal treatment every weekend!!!! cheers Paddy  Signaturepat rick at vir gin dot net www.tigershark.org.uk >> [2] However I can still go Skiing apparently, go figure. >> > The doc must be planning on giving you an > anti-falling-over-and -landing-on-your-shoulder note then? > Cheers > Graham That's what I was thinking - it was exactly the lack of such a note that buggered my shoulder - still gives me gyp every so often (when I need it to... :-) ).

But while we are on the subject it don't really make any difference does it? ;-) Steve |
