Anyone else experienced this?

Crashed in a training run and tore my rotator cuff and fractured the ball joint.
Season possibly over, I couldn't be more depressed right now.

Ouch!
Hope everything is ok. I guess I'd be depressed too but thank goodness it wasn't worse.

Get well soon.

Well... went to the doctor yesterday... it's even worse than I had thought. Torn rotator cuff and fractured ball joint. Probably going to need surgery, I have no lateral ability in my left arm now. In a sh1tload of pain, but it has subsided significantly in the last 24 hours. The only good news is I can still ski this season if I can deal with the pain, since it's going to require surgery I can't really make it any worse.

oh no. hopefully they can give you something so you can at least sleep at night. pain pills during the day (for me at least) are a no go, they knock me out. but you gotta get your sleep.
if you do go back out skiing, be careful!

You need to go to Pure Platinum to deal with the pain!

Geesh, that's terrible. I'm so sorry.

If it were me (it isn't, but I did have to get a new bionic knee this past summer and go through pain and rehab ... ) from the surgeons point of view I'd vote for "surgery now" = less crap and scarring to try and clean out of the joint than when doing it later, and as you have some fractures will also likely decrease chance of permanent arthritic changes that will haunt you forever. I'm just saying ...
