Been embracing the suck for a lot of years. They healed before to being useable but it seemed to take longer to heal each time. Damaged my left one 3x it’s still on the mend from last spring with slow progress. Did the old one step stick trip, step on one end of a stick that stops your other foot in mid stride. I flopped like a fish banged up a few ribs then we hunted a new place full of old fences took two more falls one about as bad. Not a great week for the shoulder. Walked around like a stroke victim for months now it’s more useable. I can lift and carry wood with it but upward movement above shoulder level or reaching straight out is still limited. My therapy is I keep using it and I’ll live with it as long as I can I don’t have time to sit around healing just don’t. Good luck do what you gotta do I’m just not a surgery guy myself I’m in the “all things heal group.”

I'm not sure how bad waiting a long time to repair them makes it. Never been diagnosed but I'm sure mine was torn back when we farmers had a one day tomato war in 1981. Used to throw things like a major league picture...ever since that day I can throw like a nine year old girl.

Ive sucked it up in both shoulders for 15 yrs......swimming helps me immensly.....physical therapy 3 times didnt. What i saw uncle go thru after surgery showed me I could get thru it. Torn forarm tendon since may....still using it like an idiot. orthopedic surgeon said in 4 months man you heal fast. I just work it. The surgery isn't bad, according a friend of mine. But, recovery and therapy is horrible.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

Well, Swamp, here's my tale. I went through it last winter. First go-round on January 30th I showed up at the hospital well before dawn (70+ mile one way). Got all the pre -surgical prep and had a nerve block shot in my rt shoulder/neck to help deaden everything......the darn shot paralyzed the right side of my diaphragm by mistake. Literally thought I was going to croak . Was held overnight to make sure I didn't. Rescheduled for 1 week later. Had the surgery and spent 6 weeks in a sling and sleeping on my back propped up. It was awful. I have never been able to sleep well on anything but my right side. Also.....the oddball position had my sciatic nerve screaming. Fun. After the sling came off I had about 3 months of PT. I am an admitted sissy, so it was a real pain, but I got stronger and had less pain when I did the PT. Through the whole ordeal my shoulder ached bad enough at night to keep me eating ibuprofen by the peck. A few weeks after the PT was done I started having the same pain any time I used the arm. Now it is to the point that I'm sure it came undone. My bicep bothers me all the time as well. The surgeon cut the big upper ligament on that, said it would be less likely to irritate the repaired 3 rotator cuff tendons. I will put a second surgery off until I can't lift my own finger. For a short while I was quite happy with things. Not now.
