good luck! :mrgreen:
I know all about shoulder injuries too...
I dislocated my right one 17 times over a 4 year period...totally different from rotator cuff injuries.
finally the doc said to me one day in early '94...."ya know, one of these times that thing's gonna pop out the wrong way, damage the right/wrong nerve, and the only thing I'm gonna be able to do for you....is amputate."
:-o :-o :-o :-o....I sold the snowmobile I had at the time for next to nothing :x, cause I didn't have health insurance back then...the guy that bought it drove 6 hours down from NH the 2nd day it was listed in the "want-ads"...two weeks later I had it permanently fixed, I was down for about 2 1/2 months, but I was only 22yo, so I recovered quickly....
knock on wood, 22 years later at 44yo, it's never bothered me.
it all started from being stupid, on an '84 DR100, doing wheelies on the pavement...started looping out, so I jumped off to the side still holding on to the bars, figuring I'd be able to run along side it and slow it down :roll:....ya right...what I didn't consider, was that I was going about 25mph...my legs couldn't run that fast, and down I went...landing on an out-stretched hand...end of story. :|

Ouch! I think I tried that maneuver before as a kid, with about the same results. Thankfully I was on dirt and going pretty slow. Glad to hear that you've recovered form your shoulder issues.
Thank you for the good luck wish. I'll keep you guys posted tomorrow. I'm just ready to know one way or the other.
umberto:
I'm done with the MRI, but will have to wait a bit to hear from the doctor. I forgot how much you feel like a torpedo going into that MRI tube. :-D
umberto:
Well, looks like my good luck streak is done. Doc called to tell me I have a tear in my rotator cuff. Thankfully it's only torn 20%, and not a complete tear, but it will require surgery and 3-6 months of physical therapy. Just have to suck it up and power through it I guess. Please post lots of videos of you riding so I can live vicariously through you guys.
