Hey guys, I have been hit with a banged up shoulder after
playing soccer about a couple of weeks ago. Basically from what I
have read and based on the symptoms which have transpired, I think
I might have a tear on my Rotator Cuff. This prevents me from doing
any sort of physical activity with the shoulders involved i.e.
lifting weights, bball ( if i lift my right arm at a straight
lateral movement it kinda hurts)... Anyway, the only way to be sure
is to take a MRI scan I suppose. But, that would be costly and if
there's a need for surgery to fix the tear, lagi worse...
However, I have a NS medical next tuesday. If I declare to the
doctor that my shoulder is pretty messed up would he give me a
letter to get a scan at the hospital and most importantly would I
be able to get it claim by MINDEF. Or should I wait it out and
declare it during my time in NS.
Any advice on how I should go about the situation would be
greatly appreciated :)
P.S. I have to visit the polyclinic cause I am pretty sure they
will refer me to the hospital
