Surgery

[Shock]

Well after years of abuse I'm going to have to have shoulder surgery. They are going to have to shave off the end of my clavicle. Going to schedule it in April sometime. I really hope that I won't be off the bike too long.

I dare say you will be off for 2-3 months!

Sorry to hear bro. Heal up quick

Sux to be you.... Had a full shoulder reco some years ago, physio was not fun at all!
Fingers crossed you get morphine afterwards! That's the only upside to being in hospital lol

Good luck with it all.

Good luck, at least they're not shaving off the end of something else!!

20+ years of weight lifting has caused the end of the bone to get jacked up according to the doc. He said its pretty common

If you can make it to a natural foods store (yea the hippy stores) you can get a couple things that speed up recovery.

Arnica Montana 30c pellets (dissolve under tongue) and Arnicare Gel both by a company called Boiron. Basically helps the body heal up faster after trauma, bruising, strains, sprains, damage to the body.

Jarrow Bone UP: a combination of all the nutrients that your body needs to fix up bone.

Lots of Vitamin C with bioflavinoids: 2-4,000 mg's per day. Helps the collagen knit together the tore up parts. If you smoke, stop during recovery. Smoking totally screws your bodies ability to heal.

2 weeks after surgery get on some Fish oil (1000-1500 EPA/DHA content)

Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm not going under the knife until April sometime have to finish my fence and paint the house first. Then I willing to do it because once the heat comes back to Texas it doesn't let up for awhile.

Good luck. Shouldn't really be a problem, though, but any time a doctor's cutting on you, you got my sympathy.
I've had a shitload of surgeries after getting burned a while back. I can relate.
