	And get yerself some health insurance.  By not seeing a Doctor and getting some health insurance there won't be any pre-existing condition clauses you have to dance around.  As for what to do right now- keep it immobile for 6 weeks with a sling that has the strap that goes around the back to keep the shoulder in tight against the body.  Google the s#!& out of shoulder rehab exercises and start those at the end of the six weeks.  Rubber band exercises are what a PT would use.  I hate to say it but odds are its gonna happen again at some point- so get some cheap accident insurance and be ready for if/when it does happen again.  I spent a whole season guiding and paddling on a self rehabed shoulder, and it came out again, and then again and again.  I didn't have any insurance when I had surgery for my shoulder and it ended up costing over 10 grand.  Spend some money and get accident coverage, its gonna pay off in the long run.

Healthcare in America.  Don't get sick or injured, the cards are stacked against you. <NT> RUwet New

disagree - my 25k shoulder surgery cost me $75 and the quality was fabulous ronzo New

That's because you are one of the few americans fortunate enough.... RUwet New

one of the few??? only 16% of the US doesn't have insurance.  Where are you getting your numbers for "most"? ronzo New

It could be argued that not having insurance yet choosing to kayak is not the smartest choice DangerJudy New

Yeah, until they go to use it.  Insurance companies deny claims in this country... RUwet New

true - but thats not my point ronzo New

true on the statement in the text that is (to clarify) - I've not seen any data if most claims are denied or not ronzo New

46 million people are without health insurance.  from your website.  only 16%!?  that's still a shitton of folks..... RUwet New

But part of the reason people cannot afford their rates is they've got no incentive to be price concious. tcookson New

Ted, I couldn't agree with you more...  I can go to the library and get a book for free... RUwet New

you're still making up your numbers - I didn't see "most" anywhere ronzo New
