<r>As I informed you guys, I had an appointment with Dr. Wolfe about a week ago. He examined my arm & told me that the sublexation is almost gone. The very slight movement my shoulder regained (just a few inches out) means that certain muscles are working therefore keeping my shoulder in place. ...

<r>Thank you so much for your reply. It brought tears to my eyes as most replies on this board do. I agree with your son, I also could care less about what other people say or think.

<t>So far, i've seen 4 doctors in total: Dr. Abbott, Dr. Price, Dr. Wolfe & Dr. Nath. I'm going to wait about a year to see if I can get any movement back on my own before pursuing any surgical options.
