Hi,

I have been reading through this forum, and think its really intresting.

In a previous thread someone mentioned they had a problem with there shoulder which was cured with TCM. I am hoping the same thing can happen with me.

About four years ago whilst rock climbing I slipped from a ledge, with my right arm upright holding on. I slipped about 3 inches, but my grip still held, and I had partially dislocated my shoulder. It went straight back in, and I thought nothing of it.

I then went to my Aikido class, was thrown and it happend again. It would always go back in straight away, and just hurt. I carried on triaining with like this for some weeks, (a bit stupid really). Then it came out and did not go back in on its own, my instructor had to push, it in, only gently, but after that I stopped going.

I have been to the hospital and they say I can have a operation which would fix this, but would reduce my flexability alot, in that arm.

It has not come out for over 2 years, but I am very cautious of it and no its limits, I cant for example hang on that arm anymore, as my body weight would definately pull it out.

So basically I have strecthed the tendons (?) and would like to use TCM to help.

Thx in advance for any help.

Dan
