    Sorry to hear you are in pain caused by something you did and shouldn't have. It's easily done I am sure. It is things like this happening which puts me off having any surgery to my shoulder. Hope the pain subsides and you have not done any lasting damage. Best to go back to your surgeon.

    Probably. How did you get the sack under your arm, if you were wearing a sling ???????
