Dodgers 2024

Woo hoo. Freddie, Adman and Oscar go yard and LA goes to New York up 2 - 0.

Of course, Fox has to flash the graphic the last two times these teams met in the Works Series, the team that went up 2 - 0 ended up losing the Series.

That “superior” starting pitching is now 0 - 2.

Oh injured his shoulder stealing second & sliding.

Saying it may be a partial separation, but he had good range and motion afterward.

Will be examined in LA tomorrow. Hope it’s not the same doctors they use for their pitching staff.

FIRE DAISY & FRAUDY!!!

Dodgers win again. I wore a cap at a wedding.

One of the customers (a woman) started talking to me in front of a manager.

Her - "Who's the biggest punk on the Padres?"

Me - "Manny Machado."

She high fived me. Looked at the manager, but pointed at me.

"He knows."

The upcoming tests should help determine whether Ohtani will be available for the remainder of the World Series.

How will your doctor diagnose it?
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and perform a physical before examining your shoulder. You may need X-rays to see if the head of the bone has partially or totally come out of the shoulder socket. X-rays can also show broken bones or other injuries around your shoulder.

Once your doctor determines the extent of your injury, they can help put your shoulder back into place and develop a care plan.

What does treatment consist of?
Putting your shoulder back into place is key. Although this can be done right on the field or wherever the injury happened, it’s safer to have a doctor perform this technique in a medical office or emergency room.

Closed reduction
Doctors move the shoulder back into place using a procedure called closed reduction. Because this process can be painful, you may get a pain reliever beforehand. Or, you might be asleep and pain-free under general anesthetic.

Your doctor will gently move and rotate your arm until the bone slides back into its socket. The pain should ease once the ball is back in place. Your doctor may do X-rays afterward to make sure your shoulder is in the correct position and that there are no other injuries around the shoulder joint.

Immobilization
After a closed reduction, you’ll wear a sling for a few weeks to keep the shoulder joint still. Immobilizing the joint prevents the bone from slipping out again. Keep your shoulder in the sling, and avoid stretching or moving it too much while the injury heals.

Medication
The pain from a subluxation should ease up once your doctor performs a closed reduction. If you still hurt afterward, your doctor can prescribe a pain reliever, such as hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Norco).

However, you shouldn’t take prescription pain relievers for more than a few days. They’re known to become habit-forming.

If you need longer pain relief, try an NSAID such as ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Naprosyn). These medicines can bring down pain and swelling in the shoulder. Follow the directions on the package, and don’t take more of the medicine than recommended.

If your pain continues after a few weeks, ask your doctor for other pain relief options.

Are complications possible?
Complications of a shoulder subluxation include:

Shoulder instability. Once you’ve had a subluxation, it’s more likely to happen again. Some people get subluxations over and over again.
Loss of movement. Damage to your shoulder can cause a loss of flexibility.
Other shoulder injuries. During a subluxation, ligaments, muscles, and tendons in your shoulder can also get injured.
Nerve or blood vessel damage. Nerves or blood vessels around your shoulder joint can be injured.
What’s the outlook?
You’ll wear a sling to hold your shoulder in place for one to two weeks. After that, you should avoid intense movements of the shoulder for about four weeks.

Once you’ve subluxed your shoulder, it’s more likely to happen again. If you get shoulder subluxations often, you might need surgery to stabilize your shoulder.

After surgery, it takes about four to six weeks for your shoulder to recover. Your arm will be in a sling most or all of this time. Athletes might not be able to fully participate in sports for a few months after their surgery.
