    Bummer - torn rotator cuff

    I got the news today from the MRI and ortho. I have a torn rotator cuff, left shoulder. I didn't post this in Injuries and Rehab because I'm just whining. I had the right one done seven years ago, and I'm simply not looking forward to the recovery time. Argh!!!

    Old age, just kidding. Bad form 7 years ago. I learned my lesson on form back then, which was well overdue. It made me go back and learn to do all of my exercises properly, particularly squats. I guess too many miles on this 53 year old. LOL!

    Been there for sure. Get the surgery, rest, do the physical therapy (thoroughly) & be done with it. No other choice IMO. You'll be in the gym a year from now regardless of the R/C. Question is do you still want to be in pain with limited gains a year from now? That's my take, good luck...

    You might want to look in to running a cycle of TB-500 while you're trying to heal. The guys on here have made a believer out of me on this stuff. It might make your recovery time sooner.

    Thanks. TimesRoman suggested the same to me. I'm going to give the TB-500 a try.
