Another rotator cuff surgery thread

[jseek]

Um....good luck?!!
Honestly without details of how u injured it/ or how long u have been struggling with shoulder...as in trauma new/old, chronic problem? Therefore...is it strong/weak? Imaging done and results? Labrum/biceps /acrimony involved? Bony changes? Or straight forward repair?
Unless a glaring MRI deficit noted, and grade 3 -complete tear diagnosed, they may possibly go in with a scope first to diagnose involvement and go from there...then again, if your shoulder has been unstable and dislocating for years, .... I'm sure you get the idea.
More details gives better advice!
But regardless, good luck, be prepared to ice it very often, take the meds to keep it well pain controlled, and follow dr orders
Post results and keep us informed!
When's the surgery? Procedure expected? Did you do rehab prior to this date? What were your goals prior to injury and what are they after?

hi jseek...u know alot about rotator cuff.....
my injury is 2 yo from kickboxing class, cross body punch with 3 lb weight...go figure and reinjured last jan doing a lateral arm raise with 5 lb weight in an elevated side plank position. MRI said partial full tear of the supraspinatus and the remaing delaminated. It's been bugging me none stop for over a year, and i can't lift any weight in a lateral position. hurts to put on clothes, sometimes, just laying in bed before i fall asleep....

doc said would be 6 weeks in a sling. a chair to articulate the arm is to dropped off this week so I can do this at home, 3x per day. lovely.......hope this helps!!!
