how is it doing? can you tell ny difference in operation of your arm?
Yup, it doesn't hurt any more. Strength was okay but it would get my attention when I moved my arm in certain directions.
i have broken spurs that ripped in to the muscle that i got lucky enough i only squealed like a bitch trying to sleep for 6 months ...but they are not absorbed enough that surgery will be avoidable. i hope your surgery is successful long term...my coworkers was not...so i am figuring i will be in hell forever.. they want to do the shoulder before my back because there is a tear on the other side starting...
Yeah, sleeping was the worst part. Couldn't get comfortable. I did physical therapy last fall, it helped a little but not a lot and wasn't going to make bone spurs go away. Tear was small so I'm recovering much faster than I did with my other shoulder 8 years ago that was a lot worse. They also gave me a little buff and polish on my labrum and bicep tendon while they were in there. If I kept lifting weights I was just going to make it worse.
on one hand...i dont want them doing shit till i cant move. but then i am doomed to starve...
so finally i was able to time work in a way things would get worked on....but it had to be cancelled... this corona bullshit made sure of that.
After I decided to go under the knife, or scope, it took 3 months to get in. Good thing I did it when I did. Doctor cancelled my follow-up appointment though, I said hey that's when you were supposed to schedule my physical therapy. They said we'll mail you a prescription for it and good luck finding a place that's open. I did find a place near work that takes my insurance.
down to just doing stretching before i get up off the floor when i wake up.
so i really need to work in positions some way that limits the cuff tearing. so no derrick climbing unless necessary.
Get it fixed, you'll feel a lot better. Depending how bad it is plan on being off work for 6 to 12 weeks though. I'm 6 weeks out and feel pretty good but like I said, my other shoulder was worse and took longer to heal.
