Can I please ask how you injured your shoulder so badly?

i'm a heavy equipment diesel mechanic and everything is alot heavier and hard to handle . i originally injured my r/shoulder back in 2001 trying to break loose a oil rail pipe plug on a seies 60 detroit diesel while using a 3/4" drive breaker bar . then in june 2003 i was working on hendrickson walking beam rear suspension trying to remove the leaf spring when i felt something pop in my r/shoulder. i ended up tearing the nerves in my chest that go from my c5 vertabrae to the brachial plexus nerve bundle . that surgery was in feb 2005 and still was having nerve issues in my shoulder and loss of movement/sensation in that arm because of that . since then my nerve damage was hiding the more serious damage of my rotator cuff/torn biceps tendon that was surgically repaired back on 6/14

so working as a heavy equipment mechanic can be hazardous to your health


i'm also in alot of pain since this surgery and the doctor thinks there is still damage possibly nerve related
