And anything above a .22 rifle, probably not till next year; besides the "I don't want to have to have repair work on the repair work", I can't even use the right arm to support the forend of a rifle right now; recoil over there I don't want to even think about.<br /><br />The therapist I had yesterday turned out to be a hunter and shooter herself, and gave specific warning about recoil.

I had broken my collar bone years ago, gotta love Army doctors. The break wasn't discovered for something like 20 years since it would start to heal then I would do something and it would come apart and the end of it would grind against the joint where it was supposed to be hooked up. One day I was working under my house and it got to hurting so bad I could barely crawl out. It just happened that I had a doctor appt. the next day for this problem and plain as day, there on the x-ray was the broken joint. I spotted it as soon as they hung the film up it was so obvious. <br /> Anyway, along with some other stuff they did what is called an A.C. Joint Recession where they cut about a 1/2" off the end of my collar bones. They did both of them at different times, I'm still not sure if the left one was broken or not, he said they had to do both or my shoulders would be all crooked...lol. One normal looking and the other one dropped lower. He was right on that, I used to have wide shoulders from working hard all my life but now they both just sorta hang there. <br />They actually fixed the right shoulder, it never hurts like it used to. However the left shoulder still grinds like its full of gravel or something and its a lot worse when the weather changes.<br />I had mine done in August and didn't do any shooting except with a .22 until the next summer. Had to miss deer season that year but I didn't want to mess up something because of recoil.<br />So hang in there. It will get better, just takes time. Good luck healing up.<br />By the way, I live in Eastern Oklahoma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
