Ok well its not a very exciting story (I wish it was), but I dislocated my shoulder for the 4th time now. I was cleaning up the garage to please the wife while she was out of town. I had a huge weekend planned and ready for riding Sat, and Sunday after church. Well I was putting most all the ATC's in the 26' enclosed trailer (it doubles for a storage shed haha). I went to put the last 110 in the trailer and it wasnt having it. So I got mad and grabbed the rear rack and jerk the rear end into the trailer.
In doing so, my shoulder popped really loud. Not knowing the serverty of my injury (just pain in the shoulder), I went to my sis's house to move some furniture around for my parents. Well after I couldnt lift a 27" TV over my chest height, I realized something was deathly wrong. My mom (being a nurse for years), felt my shoulder and diagnosed that I had dislocated. I immediately had my sister grab my arm and put her foot on my rib cage around and PULL!!! She did and we all heard the loudest pop in the world and I felt pain like no other. It was back in place but pain was there.
Well after almost a week going by I realized my shoulder is still in major pain and went to my local doctor. Well he gave the normal pain meds and told me time to see an Ortho surgeon. It looks like time for surgery (I pray not).
Ok what I am getting down to is, can I set up a left hand throttle for my trikes for the mean time to ride while my shoulder heals? I cant be down for this long of a time and need something that will work. Any inputs would be appreciated!. Oh say your prayers for me tomorrow, we shall see what happens.
Thanks
