Hi everyone.
My son had surgery Dec 22, 2010. Since his surgery we noticed his left shoulder, which used to be higher before surgery, was now lower than the right. The only way I can describe it is that his good shoulder is at the corner of his collar bone and arm. His left (collapsed?-not sure if that is the best word to use) shoulder doesn't seem to exist.
We did ask the dr. at his follow ups and were told it could just be a part of the "side effects" of surgery. I'm concerned because it seems to be getting worse. Yesterday we were trying to get him to stand up straight but the only thing that brought his shoulder even with the other one was when he lifted his shoulder and moved it back. It's almost as if it's sitting in front of the socket, which I know makes no sense. Has anyone else had this problem?
