Anyone ever had major shoulder surgery?

depends on the kind of shoulder surgery man. What are they going to do? Fix the socket?

work in progress

Mine wasn't too bad. Had 2 screws to hold collarbone down and ligaments re attached. I was swinging a golf club as soon as the screws were taken out.

tore labrum here "Drew Brees Injury", it sucked really bad. All I can say is, REHAB the ever living crap out of it. I am serious, kill yourself rehabing it. My shoulder is completely healed, happened about 3-4yrs ago.. below is my pic.. as you can see.. my shoulder can handle a lot of weight\abuse now.. I know to many people that have taken rehab as a joke on knees and shoulders to just reinjury them again..

It really depends on what part of the shoulder you're getting surgery on. I had surgery on my labrum and the only thing I really had difficulty with was that rehab didn't start till a month after.

Dr. berman in Arlington is one of the best you can find. Once you just go into this guys office you will see.. everything is state of the art

From what I understand I am having my rotator cuff repaired...Dr. said it was pretty torn up. I also have a severely torn anterior labrum. Its not going to be arthroscopic surgery, they are going to cut me up.

Nah just some picture of a gay guy in a wife beater now!! jk

I am guessing your looking for one of you benching something other than that bottle of water??

I wouldn't know anything about that. Sounds ruff though. I would bet it would be the same as what the other guys are saying I know it was with my knee surgery. Rehab is the key.

trenaman

lol, just trying to show if you rehab it right, you can be back to 100%. Rehab is everything

trenaman

have you had an MRI I assume? No, that is not to terribly bad, if your RC was completely torn off and a tore Labrum.. that would be a long rehab.. lots of down time..

I WAS very active before the injury. Run,bike,swim,lift, compete.... I can only bike right now.. and not off road. I can't wait to be back to normal. I will put %100 into rehab.
Thanks for the input guys.

They told me 3months and then I will go back on Light Duty. and 8-16 months before I am back to "normal".
Yeah I had an arthrogram, MRI and CAT scan. Good thing it happened at work, or i would have been SCREWED!

I go in for surgery next Tuesday the 13th. I was thrown to the ground during a defensive tactics class at work. I landed on my shoulder with my feet still up in the air. My shoulder was down near my nipple for a split second but went right back in... It hurt... lol


Thanks for the luck
