Why do Doctors, Lawyers, etc, not listen ? This has become very frustrating and painful. Pls help!!?
I fell @ a friends and hurt myself, since my Dr. was looking after my back, he ignored my fall. 7 mths later I got him to MRI. It showed torn rotator cuffs, tendons torn on both shoulders. I just had surgery Apr.2./07 My fall was July 28/06. The lawyer bit...due to not being able to live on $900.00 a mth., I had to tell my boss, friend that I had to sue his insurance. He took it personal and is now suing me for $13k. (My pays.) He is just doing this to hurt me. He filed in the farthest court he could, knowing that I cannot drive, due to the fall. The 1st lawyer did not keep me up on correspondance, wrote letters without speaking to me, getting my surgeon furious, etc. We did not click when he seemed to believe what the Ins. said, without asking me about anything. He stated things wrong that I had told him. This is the same with the doctor(s). I am now looking for a "go get 'um, contingency, help me while we're going through this lawyer...and a Dr. that really listens. Thanx

Rotator Cuff Tendon Tear...what would YOU do?
I just recently found out that I was born w/ bone spurs (hooks) on each of my shoulders which has caused my right rotator cuff tendon to tear completely in 1/2 which means I need surgery to cut the bone spur off & to screw the tendons back 2gether. My left rotator cuff will tear soon if I dont get the bone spur cut off but also has an inflamed bursa sac that needs to be removed as well. Finances are only allowing me to do 1 shoulder this year and the other next yr. Which shoulder would U get fixed first? I want to get the right one fixed first since its torn, but turns out it has possibly been torn for over a yr already and I just didnt know it. Or would you get the left one fixed first BEFORE it tears? **I guess I just dont know what other problems I could have from living with a completely torn rotator cuff tendon? Does it cause more problems if you prolong getting it fixed? I know this is a doc question but thought I could get some insight from all of U first.

Has anyone suffered a fracture after shoulder manipulation under anesthesia that went undetected?
Right after my shoulder manipulation my doctor asked me to raise my arm and I couldn't. He sent me home. 2 days later I called and told him I was in excruciating pain and still couldn't lift my arm. He instructed me to continue PT and be vigilant with at-home exercises. 6 days later, after repeated calls from me and my physical therapist, an MRI was scheduled and a fracture of my humerus with torn rotator cuff tendons revealed. I am changing doctors and awaiting my appt. Everyone says to sue for malpractice. Has anyone went through anything similar?
