TopFuel Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Grade IV to VI are managed surgically and unfortunately grade III is right on the cusp of operative vs. conservative management. Risks of surgery and recovery vs. natural healing is the problem. And the data seems to be very inconclusive about which is better.
nolipoli Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 I'll try avoid surgery, and luckily my crossfit coach is a Physio. She will help plenty with the rehab. I just told her she must make me stronger than the 60 year old lady that trains there.

And do some googling, you can heal without surgery but you will not be the same. I visited a lot of forums and did a lot of googling on this subject as I have the same. We'll I had a grade 2 and then fell on it again, dislocating my shoulder proper and doing more damage. A year later and my shoulder does not feel happy when lifting my arm above shoulder height. Also, go for more than one opinion
Ramrod Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Eesh. Thanks guys.I had a pretty uncomfortable night, as I usually can't sleep on my other shoulder either due to a previous injury.I have a list of 3 orthodox to see for opinions now. My big worry is my weight lifting and gymnastic movements are now going to go back to zero.Crossfit competition at the end of October is also out.Was Dr Breckon one of those names. If not put him at the top of your list. He is in Morningside clinic. After 6 months of physios trying to think they knew what was wrong and about R50k later i went and saw him. My shoulder still gets a bit sore when its cold but other than that its better than my not damaged shoulder.
King_Crispy Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Having the same *** now with a broken rib and torn intercostal. I hate the associated pain that follows a lapse in bikeskillz
Ramrod Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Yip. Breckon is No3Make him No 1. There is a reason he does the springbok team!!! Just think of the hammering their shoulders take!
