Rotator Cuff repair X 2 advice needed
Kokaneekid:
Sounds painful
Wood2Sawdust:
Today is surgery day on left shoulder, Had my MRI last August and it is way worse than back then. You would think they would want more recent pics. I guess I will see in a few days-weeks
trophyhunt:
Good luck, take those pain pills every 4-6 hours!!!
GWP:
I had one of the bucket/pump ones but do not remember the brand name. It REALLY helped for one of my 4 rotator cuff surgeries. Finally gave it away as it was sitting around too long. The shoulder/knee circulating attachment worked good.
Frozen pea bags work as good as they conform to your shoulder. Refreeze (never really unfroze) then eat later. I used them for my first surgery.
Of my 4 only one was arthroscopic. It had WAY less pain than the others, but they can only do so much damage repair through the little holes they punch.
The stats say when you have your first one you will have another in 7 years. Mine all 'basically' followed that while alternating sides.
Good luck to all that have them done!

69 years old in fairly good shape. 1 day into recovery rotator cuff tears, labrum looked shredded to me, bone spurs, tendons reattached, torn bicep fixed, arthritis removed , synovitus whatever that is, Dr said all went well. I had the blocker which helped first night. pain is manageable I have the ice machine. walked outside a bit, would like to walk a mile tomorrow if I get a little sleep. awake last night, not from pain, I think from all the hospital meds. I did not take pain meds till blocker was wearing off----excuse my typing with one hand I will try to keep this updated for others thinking about surgery
