injury woes
So my soccer team had our final game of the season on monday. During the game I hurt my shoulder. I went to the doctor yesterday and he thinks I've reinjured my rotator cuff. This completely sucks. I initially tore my rotator cuff maybe 3 years ago in a game. After physical therapy, it never really fully recovered. I couldn't throw overhand without fairly intense pain. As it started to get marginally better, I had a collision with another player during a makeup game and had to go back to the doctor. At that time I was diagnosed with a sprained clavicle, as well as having aggravated my rotator cuff injury. More PT followed and I actually had a fairly good recovery. My shoulder wasn't 100%, but I was finally able to throw overhand again, and after the past year, I was actually able to play tennis for the first time about a month ago.
Reinjuring this shoulder is not something I wanted to do. It just happened monday, so it remains to be seen how bad it is. I go in on the 3rd for an assessment from a physical therapist. Still, it's frustrating that I don't really expect a full recovery. At this point I'd gladly take surgery if they thought it would give me back full use of my shoulder and that I'd be less likely to reinjure it.
To add insult to injury, the lights didn't come on during our final game, and the league is talking about having us replay it. We were up 2-0 after 70 minutes, though really the final 15 minutes or so were so dark they shouldn't have been played. But if we replay it, I won't be able to take part, and if we don't win, we'll lose our division title. Not that I'm that concerned we won't win, but the other team isn't bad, they're only a point behind us.
