Rode hard and put away wet too many times. I have been more than a bit physically active in my life. That and riding motorcycles for a living for more than a decade probably had something to do with it. It was all cumulative. It didn't happen all at once, just the knowledge of a severe problem when I got stuck on my back for a week in rather intense pain.

Looked at the MRI yesterday. I've got a torn rotator cuff. I've got a combination of things not working right. The inflammation is causing the muscle to be pinched between the ball in my shoulder and the acromion bone above it.

Time to schedule the surgery. A-scope. He's going to shave a bit off the acromion to give the muscle some room to heal and also stich up the tear.

I can't wait.

Good luck Sandy, I hope they can patch you up.

You to Mav....

You old timers need to take care of yourselves!

Update... completed the surgery on September 13. The doc stitched up the torn rotator and then went to work on a mangled bursa. I was under for about three hours. Doc was pretty aggressive and had me into the physical therapist the very next day.

Two months and hours of therapy later, I feel pretty good. Went on a good long two hour ride yesterday. Shoulder didn't hurt a bit.

here's a link to a mountain bike ride next time you think of taking the old bike out for a ride.

That was pretty cool.

Nuts.

But cool.
