Quote from PHOENIX TRADING:
Not sure, I had a previous repair in 91 then the other shoulder the following year. No surgery is scheduled for the rotator cuff.
The vascular surgeon today was a bit surprised I didn't complain of more pain in the leg because he believes I had a blood clot, but it did not show by the time I had the first ultrasound done.
When I was told no DVT the first time (just before thanksgiving ), I thought I was in the clear and surprised when the DR office called (last thurs)for me to see a vascular surgeon set for today.
They've got to do a more definite ultrasound not just looking for clots.
I pretty much know what's happened. The Master has kicked me there ,twice that caused heavy bruising for 2 weeks each time.(good thing he was only putting 10-20% of force into it).
Looks like he may have permanently crushed my great saphenous vein which will probably require minor surgery.
Like I said we are full contact, 2 years ago I fell wrong on the concrete and had a complete tear of right distal biceps (which of course requires surgery). The reason I went back for the MRI was shoulder pain was limiting my biceps recovery.
I'm a little bit famous at my DR's office because in 2008 they thought I had a cancerous tumor about the size of a baseball under my left scapula.
When they did surgery to remove the tumor they found it was just an accumulation of infection( of unknown origin). So not only did I walk out of the hospital, I carried the luggage myself the next day.
About 18 months later it grew back even bigger.
I went to KF that saturday, was really hurting and somewhere about the 4th hour of training I got punched in the back.
I was really hurting by the time I got home but I didn't want to go (wait all damn night ) to the local ER.
So, I cut it out myself in the bathroom and that's how I got my nickname in kung-fu.
(obviously leaving out lots of detail)
I saw my Primary care physician that tuesday and she was amazed.
Saw the original surgeon 2 weeks later and she said "No more DIY"
PS: My hats off to the little old ladies with OA they are by far tougher than me.
