Christmas present from me to me, but I can't cast cause of @$&!? torn rotation cuff.
-
Go and have the operation and get it sorted out. It's a hassle, but the operation sorts it out. I messed mine up taking my fishing ski off the roof racks of the car (trying to be Rambo, doing it by myself). Had the op, and it took a while for everything to get going properly again, but was worth it. No hassles ever since then. Now I ask for help, or get the younger people to do the really heavier, awkward stuff.

What a waste......give it to me :hnthnt:

No one is keen to operate on me right now because I've just had a mitral valve replacement op.Been to a physio and had the ultrasound scan.They tell me to manage the pain for now.I can only think it happened whilst I was in ICU

Nice prezzie Plugger...!
I;m currently in a sling, had my Rotator cuff surgery 5 days ago... :shk
Suffered on and off with it for 12 years, but it just got worse and worse until I could hardly move anymore.
What works best is to get your Doc to give you a Cortisone shot into the joint while doing Ultrasound, works fab for 2-3 months, then the pain starts all over again. The only way I've fished the last 5 years is a pre-trip Steroid shot.
Not ideal medicine, but a oke has to fish every now and again... :hnthnt:

Thanks Reefs , they are not keen to even do that until the heart is sorted out.

Been there... done that... Both the Xmas pressie and the surgery. Had the op in June now trying to get a trip together for the new year. Enjoy it Plugger.

I guess I'll just have to sit on the deck and watch what the other guys catch.

Seems a lot of fishermen have to eventually have Rotator Cuff surgery... would be interesting to know if the incidence is higher than in the general population ---> maybe the unnatural casting action?!

For sure... makes sense. Sorry dude.

I'm pretty sure mine was from being yanked around whilst I was unconscious in ICU for 16 days . I initially thought it was from the stroke but I've recovered almost 100 percent from that.

Age and specific physical activities (heavy manual labour, sports, etc) play a major role https://greatbasinortho.com/articles/rotator-cuff-tear-common-repairable-injury

I think it's likely... My physio told me that fast bowlers have an extremely high incidence of rotator cuff injury. Mine occurred because of a high impact fall followed by 4 days of throwing 200g+ poppers at the horizon. :vio

Interesting article.perhaps I'll be able to throw light spoons with my Amia.

I've been flicking for bass right through from before the op and shortly after it (maybe a month after)... Basically, as long as you're not having to lift your elbow to the point where it hurts in the shoulder you are fine.
