Sucks getting older. Started off Saturday with a sore shoulder joint that happens once in a while and goes away. Sunday and Monday I took it easy as I could and took a bunch of meds to knock the pain down and let me sleep. Today was a struggle to get out of bed with how much it hurt. Took 2 Norcos by noon and it just made it tolerable to sit around and not do much of anything. Going to load up at bedtime and hope for the best. If I can't get it under control I guess I'll have to go to town and see a doctor. Yippee. Nothing broken so I'm thinking they won't see anything with an x-ray and go with an MRI. Another yippee.

This is not good. Take care, guy. We will be worrying about you.
Absolutely killing me this morning. Decided to suck it up and go to the ER. 10 minutes to get my jeans on! Xray showed nothing but some arthritis, just like I thought. Doc said probably a torn rotator cuff and referred me to an ortho guy. Got a pain shot, sling and a script for Norco. Lori would have been PISSED about that since she was cut off from hers. And of course, drugstore was out of stock. Guess I'll call and get an appt. with the ortho. Yippee.

Maybe a little more PBS and a little less late night skinamax TV if you’re tearing your shoulder. Lol
Lots of Norco use in your neighborhood!Absolutely killing me this morning. Decided to suck it up and go to the ER. 10 minutes to get my jeans on!

You have time to heal. Work on your cardio until you heal.
Both shoulders sound like gravel when I roll them. Figure this was messed up already and something made it flare up.
Wife was on it for a while then got cut off when the crackdown happened. Held back a few for emergencies. Not sure how I was able to get them. Telling the doctor I was going to f him up if he twisted my arm one more time may have done it!

Suggest you go see a physio for a second opinion. They'll give you an idea of what you are dealing with, and if you need a surgical solution. Ortho's are fine if you have to have surgery, but they will push that perspective, which may or may not end up fixing the problem. Had a subluxation of the shoulder a couple of years ago that did a lot of tendon damage and got two very different opinions - I took the physio route and it came back wonderfully.
Going to try and avoid surgery if I can. I'll do therapy or cortisone but getting cut isn't really going to work for me.
