(13,421 posts)I absolutely loathe turtle boy, but I would not wish a shoulder injury on anybody. EVER. Bad as my injury was, they didn't opt to do a surgical repair on it once they put it back in socket in the ER. ONLY time I have ever screamed in pain. 6 months of physical therapy was not much fun either, but I do mostly have function in that shoulder, along with arthritis and a probable complete replacement in a few years according to the orthopedic specialist.
I'm not 60 yet, and that injury took me down for a long time. Had I been as old as he is, I have no doubt I'd have had to look at a retirement. It really is that bad. Turtle boy will never feel the same again, if that brings anybody any satisfaction. FWIW, I broke mine falling on a concrete walkway while I was appraising a house. It can happen that quick, and be that severe.
