Well I've eaten Aleve, Max strenght tylonal, and Motrin like candy for 2 months and it still hurts. I am alot weaker in that arm now and only have half the range of motion. I can't even scratch my back or *** with that arm.
It freakin hurts all the time, especialy if i try to use it. When i do go to use it i feel alot more pain, kinda like a burning sensation. WTF is up with these so called docs!
I'm no doctor, but if someone comes in saying they were lifting something and heard a loud snap, and now they can hardly use that arm I think i would at least ex-ray the damn thing. I even requested an ex-ray and was told there is no need.
When i rotate my damn arm it clicks and pops, and hurts like hell. I may just suck it up and pay out of my own pocket to go see a REAL doctor out in town. And if its something serious like a torn ligiment or broken something, i am going to go back and punch this fake *** doc right in the mouth.
Sorry for the rant, i just had to get that out. Anyone else who is or has been military knows what I'm talking about.

no no, my knee surgery was done by a orthoped or what ever, but my battalion doc was a obgyn. he was the one that i had to see every time my knee got swolen. that would be funny as **** a obgyn doing knee surgery. i would probably be crippled from it

UPDATE! I went to the ER and I do have a pretty badly torn rotator cuff, along with a torn bicep muscle. Its bad enough my sholder can come in and out of socket by itself. So now i will get to see a real ortho tech and figure out if i need surgury or months of rehab. Either way its pretty F-ed up, but I'm getting somewhere.
I'm going to try and have Tri-Care pay for it too since i went through over 2 months of mis-diagnosis with the Navy wanna be docs.

been there 3X myself, due for #4 soon. if the rotator cuff is torn then all the rehab in the world will not help. after it is repaired then yes the rehab will help a great deal but depending on your age, the dr. skill, and how bad it is will determen the final out come. ( been fighting these for over 25 yrs. )
not trying to scare you into not doing it, but some people respond better than outhers, and the dr.s are a lot better then what they use to be.......
GOOD LUCK..

Imagine this knee on chest, full body weight on said knee and pulling like a madwoman and unable to get it out. All a sudden snap it breaks off at the gum line. "Opps, well, we have a problem". We are going to have to schedual an operation. (I just love that"we have a problem" ) That's alot of we for her screw-up.
Well you get the jist. The best thing you can hope for in the navy is to be active duty at a TAR base far enough from any base with med so you can go to a civilian doctor or dentist.
Hey, at least they did not work on your shoulder. It could have been worse, they could have actually tried to do something.
