After shoulder dislocation, Pictures/video showing very limited range of motion in shoulder!

video done JUN 4th 2018:

Demonstrating how I still have limited range of motion a long time after my dislocated shoulder occurred the night before Easter(APR 1). Video done JUN 4. I can use my uninjured left arm to stretch my injured right arm further which demonstrates some of my shoulder muscles in my right arm do not function at this time! I do continue to stretch my right arm with and without the help of my left arm! I do swing a 5 lb dumbbell through this range of motion I have in my right arm to strengthen it and can do a bicep curl holding two 5 lb dumbbells in my right hand. Also can do a squat to chest exercise two handed with 20 lb dumbbell for over 1 minute now!
For further background on this accident and my rehab start with this blog post and then check out later blog posts on this subject:

My range of motion in my right arm is quite limited. I did have my dislocated arm worked on at the VA hospital ER on Easter morning and I am sure the professionals brought in on call after me waiting a number of hours in pain did the best they could with the help of Xrays! I just had a lot more damage from my very hard fall onto a concrete sidewalk than just a dislocation as pain in elbow, hand, upper arm, shoulder and ribs for weeks after accident continuing to the present seems to indicate. Have not been back to VA hospital since missing a walk in type appointment due to not finding parking in massive traffic jam at hospital 8 days later on a Tuesday! I was in pain and my friend driving was also in pain due to injuries still healing from an car accident around Halloween! I gave up on the VA which was hard to get rides to and which may have costed me time and money I could not afford with my dire financial situation!

My accident recovery and the challenges of being extremely unique in a spiritually backward world

Everyday I do left handed weightlifting along with rehab for my right arm/shoulder, an intense quarter mile run, many extremely intense and painful 3/4 of mile meditative walks! I do push my limits and the intensity of my meditative walks do make my pain in my right arm/shoulder worst! Being a spiritual pioneer that tries to challenge the limits of what I can handle spiritually, I try to make my cat-like crouched meditative technique even more intense so as to feel the pain even more acutely. I battle the pain in order to learn to handle it better, and also heal myself. The ability to handle pain really well is needed in order to develop the intense spiritual strength required to handle the really really serious problems of this challenging reality we are part of……………………………….
I do pay for how hard I push it with arm and shoulder pain at night! But, I am getting more use to intense pain and still get some good sleep! At least I can sleep lying down which I could not do for 4 weeks after the accident/fall/dislocated shoulder. More than a dislocation happened in this fall, my body is feeling pain in elbow, hand, and right side of chest! I did not think of other injuries when at the ER when I had a dislocated shoulder that demanded immediate attention. Have been on my own medically since that ER visit which suits me fine. I do best dealing with my medical issues on my own, and can not afford to do otherwise………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I do have serious survival issues that make so much in my life extremely difficult and society plays an extremely strong role in this due to its failures in serving me as well as it does others who have more “normal” needs! Society provides jobs, housing, and all sorts of public services for people who are very normal in their abilities, but is way too backward spiritually to understand and help address the basic need of someone as uniquely abled as me. People assume I fit in to society a lot more than I do and can be quite clueless as to the real circumstances I face trying to survive in this world. I am pretty much one of a kind and that is why I am the spiritual pioneer I am! I do not qualify for social security retirement due to limited work history and would not be alive today if not for the help of family and friends…………………………………………………………………
So many people with positions of power and influence in this world are really spoiled and arrogant, often blaming the victims of their inadequate policies/actions and abilities rather than becoming more responsible in their approach. They become too intoxicated by the money they make and power they are able to yield! Heavy spiritual consequences result in this highly technological age we now exist in when a society lacks an adequate level of spiritual maturity to deal with the serious problems within it! Seeing things from many sides and angles in all of its complexity is not easy! People often would rather have a tribal type mentality that irrationally ignores or condemns that which they are not familiar with! Religions and societies can be quite tribal and irrational in how they evaluate the value of what they believe to be true as compared to what others not in their group/ organization believe………………………………………………………………………….

How am I feeling 6 days after my shoulder was dislocated and put back early Easter Sunday?

At times not good at all: fever and nausea with intense pain in arm, at other times a lot better! Use ice on forehead and arm. Getting a little better over time. Must sleep sitting up using pillow on table or arm will hurt too much, Appointment Tuesday! Do not want to use the VA hospital too much! once cleared to rehab my injury I can do so myself using really good videos on youtube. I just did a lot of damage! I do not want a huge bill and do not trust the medical profession that much when it comes to understanding my unique body! I do feel that as soon as my tissues heals enough, I will start making really fast progress! I just have a very sensitive body that has been really pushed to the edge. But I am use to living on the edge and really trust my intuition will guide me well in the healing process! I do not take pain killers now, did take Ibuprofen at the beginning, but did not like the acid reflux and other side affects. So a lot of the pain is the result of this. But. I feel that I will heal faster if I feel the pain and am not knocked with pain killers. I am optimistic that I will come back stronger than ever! Tuesday will give me information on how the healing process is going! All so complicated. My body is use to being pushed hard by me, so I will continue to challenge it in any way I think will speed up its progress even if at times quite painful!

When I fell while doing a meditative walk in the dark last Saturday around 10 PM and dislocated my shoulder and with the strong yanking done to get it back in place, muscle/tissue damage was done! I do not normally do well with the medical profession and my neurologically different body! I am good at doing my own research and self treating my own body! I am not concerned with it dislocating again since my body tends to be tight rather than loose which is what makes recurring dislocation more frequent and happen more often with younger people. My accident happened in a way that was like an instant complete stop upon forward moving impact with the ground and the impact was very violent and quite a shock! The dislocation did not happen easily!
My world has not fallen apart because of the shoulder dislocation that occurred as a result of a fall! I will make a fast recovery and still be more advanced in my meditative exercise techniques than anyone else afterwards, since I will not lose most of my head start I have as a result of all my past effort and training! I did have to make one more adjustment to my astrology system that only an accident like this one would force me to! I immediately was doing daily quarter mile painful meditative walks, and after practicing my running in short bursts inside my house for a while started doing daily runs of a quarter of a mile also! I will be ready! I will be doing some strengthening of my left arm soon so that it can help my other arm to be able to handle the type of 2 handed dumbbell swings I do sooner!
I have become a lot better at using my left arm and hand due to not being able to use my dominant right! Eating can be messy, but I am getting better at it. I do have finer motor skill limitations that affect my left arm/hand more tan my right. This was typed with one hand and mostly using two fingers on it!
