so i slipped and fell at work tonight.. went to the ER cuz i fell on my bad shoulder and was basically put out of commision at that point.. i couldnt even put on my own jacket or zip it up.. well long story short.. they give me 600mg Ibuprofen.. seriously? and flexiril.. think i got a slight buzz of the flexi.. suprise.. but i didnt eat so maybe.. then after all is said and done.. i just have a slight tendon extension.. put im seriously in some pretty horrible pain.. it sucks.. very limited shoulder action.. and then they send me off with 2 T3's WTF!.. perscription for T3's.. Diclofenac... Flexiril.. I call BS! good thing i'm gettin bag o vics tomorrow
that's cool, most jobs make u take DT when u get hurt on the job or fuck up and someone else gets hurt.
that's rough. Reminds me of the time I busted my left shoulder up 2 years ago. The dumb bitch at the hospital felt around a bit, took a couple X-Rays, told me "don't worry, nothing's broken" and just told me to go to the drug store and get some over the counter tylenols. WTF It hurt so fucking much. I couldn't even sleep the first couple of nights because the only way I could sit there not in pain was to clutch my opposite shoulder with my hand and tense the muscles in my back and shoulder. Well I went to another hospital after that, and they popped my shoulder back in the joint and gave me some painkillers... can't remember which ones, but they weren't that good.
where do u work/what kind of place do u work where u slipped & fell? I was just curious if it was like slippery from something, or u were just a klutz, haha.
btw.. im gonna have to go back in today... i have almost no forward movement in my shoulder a lil more backwards movement than forward.. not saying much.. and very limited side movement.. i'd say roughly i have about 10% movement of my shoulder... and it fuckin hurts!!!! not to mention now my rib area is killin me as well.. when i push on the right side of my rib cage it sends a shooting pain through to my back
