Playing with children is a lot of fun . I do n’t be intimate about others , but I do enjoy diddle with Kyd . While doing so , sometimes , we tend to behave and represent like them . One day , after refund home from work , my child take a firm stand that we go outdoors and act some game .
ab initio my children were playing among themselves , but as we all know , after they play for some time , we have to intervene and solve their “ childish ” quarrels . To pacify them , I joined them and started make for with them . We were playing rugby and I set about giving them pass and catching pattern . We were get a draw of sport … when my youngest son hurtled the ball at high stop number and it fly in a eminent arc … In the exhilaration , I forgot that I was 38 years old and weigh 210 pounds … ( OMG ) . ! ! ! ! . and tried to catch the ball by make a heroical nose dive forward and land on my right shoulder joint putting all of my glorified 210 lb on my right shoulder … . and my poor shoulder deliver the brunt of my whole weight , the result of which was torturing pain . For the next few minutes I was writhing with pain sensation . My tiddler calculate on very fearful for me . However , the nuisance subsided after some minutes .
Since my body was hot up due to the catching and passing practice and play with the kids , I did n’t feel the annoyance for some time and I guess the pain had subsided altogether and I need not worry further . After the praxis was over , we get going home hungry and tired . My organic structure had cooled down by then . I go to the kitchen and lifted my right arm to take the biscuit jar off the top shelf in the kitchen , when I get the Godzilla of all strain .. ! ! The pain was so intense , that I was unable to filch my arm and had to utilise my other hand to hand the cooky jar . right away I practice an ice pack to my shoulder and took a painkiller ( naproxen ) , which I had at place .
By that evening , I was just capable to move my veracious hand or shoulder and was hardly able to do any work . By now there was redness in my shoulder area and the pain had increased . I again hold some naproxen and after some time there was some difference in the pain , but not that much . I learn association football for some prison term and went to bed . After tossing and turning , I managed to sleep , but the pain started to increase and I awaken up from my rest with a seriously aching and throbbing pain in my right berm . I was not able-bodied to lie on my right because of the pain . I had to lie either supine or on my left shoulder joint . That night , I could not sleep at all .
The next 24-hour interval , I woke up with a throbbing pain and stiffness in my shoulder joint joint . I thought of seeing a doctor , but I had an pressing merging at my work position and therefore I postponed my sojourn to the doctor . I could feel the pain throughout the daylight while execute all the activities , start from brush my teeth , having a rain shower , order on my dress , eating , driving to the office and put to work in the office . The pain persisted and there was not even 1 % decrease in the intensity of the pain in the neck . When I was not doing anything or was in a standstill placement , I did n’t feel any pain , but when I did any activity or tried to lift my arm over my headland , I had unbearable pain .
That evening , I visit a physician , and as expected he gave me some analgetic tablets and advised me complete rest for the next two calendar week . When I enquire the medico if any X - ray or scan is required , the doctor express mirth it off by saying that it was a minor bruise ( contusion ) to the shoulder which would mend in a few days . He advised me to take the tablets for 3 days and additional tablet only in a SOS situation , i.e. when the pain in the ass was grievous . He tell apart me that he would survey after a week . The week hand by with no change in the pain . I had some relief with the pain killers , but as their core would wear off , the pain would resurface again , as if to bemock me “ I am still here and not expire anywhere , ” …
As per the advice of my doctor I took accomplished rest for the next two weeks . After two weeks , the intensity of the pain gradually start diminish . I will not say that the painfulness had gone whole , there was still some bother . I die and visit my physician once again , as the pain had n’t altogether gone . The doc advise an X - re of my articulatio humeri . I got the go - rays , but they were inconclusive . The doctor suggested a wait - and - sentry coming for some more time and prescribed some stronger anodyne . Taking these painkiller daily was pass me stomach upset and I was feeling fuzzy too . A calendar month passed , the botheration was decreasing , but at a escargot ’s speed . During my day-to-day bodily process such as grow my paw above my head etc . , I find the pain in the neck . The infliction was not willing to let go off me as if it was my good buddy and did not want to leave me .
I visited another doc , but he pronounce the same thing that everything seems to be o.k. and the pain will go on its own . I have tried ice therapy , heat therapy , massage , stretching … … uranium name it and I have done it , but even after months of that incident , I can still palpate some painful sensation … especially during Nox , when I am trying to sleep , it offend to lie on my right side . I start to favour my right shoulder and arm … .. Sometimes I am botheration free , but after a feverish day , when I come home , my articulatio humeri start to shudder , reminding that I am still not completely hurt free … . this chronic pain has become my life partner now … completely adhering to the vows of “ till death do us part” .. (sigh sigh ) … … But life goes on , I do my casual activities of workings , bathe , playing with my kids …… I go for that one twenty-four hour period the pain will settle entirely and I will be like my old self again . I have tried to make some healthy lifestyle variety … losing some weight , eating healthy and trying to take the air day by day in Holy Order to condition my body more … sometimes when I am alone and brooding , I think about the incident and express joy that a silly heroic stunt of mine of diving event and catching the ball like a pro to imprint my kids has caused me so much pain , contribute me so many insomniac nights , and definitely minify my quality of biography . Life is just that , unexpected , sometimes sweet , sometimes bitter … … the course is strewn with pain in the neck and delight ; the best we can do is to learn to tread conservatively to stave off pain … ..
