I was trimming a tree one day standing on a ladder near the house.
I fell sideways with my arm grabbing the windowsill, except
my arm was not in the right position. I tore my shoulder joint
pretty bad. I also screwed up my ankle. I thought oh shit. I
stood up and tried raising my arm and it came out of socket,
put arm back in quickly. Well, the first thing I did ws go in the
house and consume two tabs of Ibuprophen to keep swelling down,
and pain, allthough i was not in very much pain at the time. I went
out and finished gathering up twigs and bundling them. But
there was never much pain, and I'm sure taking the drug soon helped.
A month later I got rotator cuff surgery, and talk about pain!!
