Rotator Cuff repair X 2 advice needed
Wood2Sawdust:
I appreciate you telling me all that. I plan on the nerve blocker and ice therapy for my left shoulder. The right shoulder will have to wait. That one I was going to ask the Dr about cortisone. I miss shooting my bow every day and hope to recover enough to bow hunt someday. I've only been shooting 53 lbs the last few years. Thanks to all.
Wood2Sawdust:
Went back to Dr today for my better shoulder. As of now scheduled for left shoulder (the worst one) rotator cuff and tendon repairs etc. April 2. Start PT after 4 weeks. After MRI on right shoulder he recommends surgery sooner than later-- one complete tear with retraction and some other tears. Scheduled for that one July 7 as of now but may decide differently after the first one. He thought it could be done in as little as 2 months after the first one. Will be getting the blocker and Polar Cold machine. I talked with my buddy who did this last year with the same Dr and he said he could have done a second that soon but did not need it. How are Brocka and Trophyhunt doing with recovery? Also Snit--Are you fully recovered now? Thanks to all once again.

Hope it goes well for you! I’m at week 12 this Friday, infact, Friday I go back to work. With two anchors done and several PT appointments, and doing my own PT at home, my doctor said last Friday that I’m two weeks behind. My motion is good doing the hitler salute, but I can’t raise my arm up off to the side yet, only about as high as my waist. Really gonna push it this week and the next couple. It’s been hard, painful at times. Finally got good sleep after the 10-11 week, I think that’s the worst part, minus the first 3-4 days of hell. Broka is doing much better than I did, but he is a bit younger than me!!

You didn't mention if you have any weather related symptoms.
I can tell when the weather is going to change. Like I have said. I can guess your age, weight and perhaps where you were born.
