My injury became apparent in 2011 december. cause - cannot name it. It was not something that appeared all of a sudden but rather smth that evolved in time. But i blaming weightlifting and some martial arts.
I am not a prof athlete but i am fond of sports. Am 22 years old kow and a former obese child. That was what led me to sports. i was 117kg and now i'm 78kg.
I began this way because my story is long.
In dec 2011 an orthopedist said that i should stop all physical activites so i did. He gave meds as well. After 3 months i was better but not great. He said i sjould have surgery but did not mention the grade of the injury ( i live in romania and maybe we are a bit lacking a protocol jn ac separation). So i went to a recuperation doctor.
She said i should to underwater exercises about 2x week and swim if i could.
Notice that until know i have not mentioned anythjng about my symptoms. She asked me a question then:does it hinder my daily activites?i said i guess not. So i was kinda resolved that sports will be tough for me but i kept up my hopes.
7 mpnths have passed. And it hurts. I still cannot go backpacking,turning the driving wheel hurts and cannot rest my elbows on the table. Just saw the recup doc again and i am furious.
She said that i was not a prof athlete so that why she didnt put me to really hard PT and that i should try to enjoy life and not be bothered with my AC separation.
If i would be in the USA i would sue her. Not only did she disconsider my affectipn to sports she nearly openly insulted me suggesting that i am whimpy and just cannot take alittle daily pain.
The pain was okay at the beginning but now it is a rocky dry feeling that i feel. Range of motion i have and that is great. Strength has faded me a bit but it is okay as well. But i cannpt do daily chores cause little things set off a tendinitis inthe biceps.
I am really leaning towards surgery. The tip i leave to others is : speak to multiple doctors and do not have blind faith. I will be seeing an orthopedist soon. My discussion with my recup doc is over. From my point of view she messed up:
-not giving me my adequate PT
-procastinating my operation to 7 or more months (i will see)
-not taling me seriously.
I am 22 and i want to do lots of things but my doc treated me like a 60 year old. I think i will bite the bullet because 7 months have passed with episodes of tendinitis and pain (a tug of war) and i almost am where i started. So a year post-op but with the possibility of regaining normal daily use and possibly even sports seema a good deal to me.
Please write back.
