SLAP tear right shoulder

[lovbyts]

Looks like we had the same mind set before surgery. I also went with what I think is the best in my area, Dr. E. Edward Khalfayan who is the head surgeon for the Seahawks and Mariners.

About a week ago mine took a turn for the better. All of the sudden it stopped hurting 24/7 and now only nags me when I over work it or ever stretch it. It was about 12 weeks out from surgery.

It's slowly getting better and stronger and I think I am better off with the surgery. It has slowly gotten a little better and stronger before the surgery but it had been almost a year and I knew in my heart and shoulder that in another year it would not be nearly where it should be. Now after this big change at 12 weeks I am having even more faith than I did and am hoping at 6 months I can start lifting more heavy or at least a respectable weight again and in 1 year be close to 100%?

Yes, definitely sounds like we did. I felt the same way. it was weird one week I would be having a hard time doing certain rehab exercises and then all of sudden out of no where I felt like I could do it with ease...For me, this is how my whole rehab went. Always in intervals, I stay in one spot for about 2 months or so and then out of the blue the next week pain decreased, range of motion better and strength up...Then I would go another 2 months feeling the same, and then, BAM next week would miraculously be at the next level. This continued like this for me for about 10 months.

Recovery is just a long process for labrums. The thing that sucked for me, was right when I was coming out of my sling and starting to slowly use my arm with things I was taking out a hot cup of coffee from the microwave and it spilled on my hand. By natural reaction I jerked my whole arm. Just the tiny fast motion and I heard almost like a rip in my shoulder and the pain was excruciating..Within a few days, my whole shoulder bruised up which was a horrible sign. It definitely set me back in recovery and quite possibly could have effected how well my final recovery would be...it still bothers me, wondering if I would be that much better if I hadn't have done that....But it is what it is
