You will be in a immobilizer for the first six weeks and you will be doing a fair amount of PT.Your right side will really be stressed, as it will be your good arm and compensating for your other side.I had my Rotator cuff, Labrum, and Bicep tendon reattached.My Doctor (Wendy Heusch) at Rainier Ortho in Puyallup is awesome.She did a nerve block which really alleviated a lot of pain and reduced the need for pain meds.I was back Skiing in 6 months, but it takes at least a full year to be close to normal.Your Doctor will advise you properly.Good luck.

She is great.And to the OP, I am on week two and there is absolutely no way a guy can get both done that close together.
I'm scheduled on March 20 with Dr Rossi in Wenatchee. Have a friend who had one done by him a year ago who recommended him

Now I found out right shoulder is almost as bad. Is it remotely possible to do second surgery 10 weeks after first shoulder. I'm 69 year old guy in fair physical shape who still wants to shoot a bow again every day and would like to at least rifle hunt this year. Any experiences? recovery times? Thanks to all10 weeks is too soon. I wouldn’t do the other one until 6 months. Find a good physical therapy clinic. Anywhere that only offers 30-45min will not be good enough. Do your exercises 3 times a day before the surgery. Then once you start pt do them as often as you can tolerate. It will def be painful but not as bad as some suggest if you get as strong as you can prior to the surgery. If after 6 months you aren’t at least 80% of what your shoulder was prior to injury you may never recover it. Our bodies are built to move and the longer you go with limited movement the harder and worse it will be. The people who can push through the pain and get their motion back as quickly as possible do waaaay better than the complainers who won’t push themselves. I have helped many many people recover from shoulder surgeries and that’s my observation.have you had rotator cuff surgery?

I've had a frozen shoulder after surgury to repair a type two slap tear, torn labrum, and torn bicep muscle. Took a few anchors to reattach everything. Absolutely sucked. Had a good massage therapist get my range of motion back. It was absolutely miserable to go through his treatments.

I will not have the frozen shoulder to deal with, heard about it and I’m working too hard to get it.

Massage definitely helps to break up some of the scar tissue as well but nothing beats movement
