Hey guys.
Dislocated my shoulder for the 2nd time in 2 years on saturday paddeling out for a surf.
I will be hittin Maui in 11 weeks for a planned kite trip.
Has any1 had shoulder issues and had to strap up/brace?
If so any braces or advise for strappin?
cheers.
This might sound a little out of left field.............but what about going and seeing a physio
Mate, as a long time dislocee you probably know as we'll as I do that straight after you pop it again the only thing that is going to help is keeping your arm out of trouble as much as you can before you go there. I had ice and electro therapy on it once and my recovery time went down to a couple of weeks but usually it's six weeks of nursing if I let it come out. Physio is not a bad idea.
Yeah. I'm seeing a physio but he just looked at me blankly when I asked can I kiteboard in a couple months. I figure that I will have to strap for the trip. Just seeing if anyone else has had an experience similar...
Dean I havnt kited for 7 weeks, I did mine at the cable park. It's been 7 weeks I've got an MRI next week and I'm looking at 4 months after surgery, about 8 of that in a sling. If the scan comes back ok hopefully I'll be back soon I don't wanna miss the westerlies.
Wow. every1 is getting beaten up? Well, at least its the off season i suppose?
Troy that really sucks. Was it the 1st time?
John i hope that heals up quick mate, that is some serious ****!
