shoulder surgery
by: Anonymous

I had a bone spur removed in my right shoulder back in April 2010 and I still have pain around the rotator cuff area. I was told by my surgeon that it could take up to 1 year to fully heal even without a tare in the cuff area. I rented a cool water therapy system that I use nightly and take advil as needed. I never went to PT after surgery but used the gym my work offers. I also never work the sling, I was told by my Dr. to just let the pain be my guide and excersize to stregthen the cuff area. I hope this helps you.

PAIN, DON'T CARE FOR P THERAPIST, CAN'T MOVE ARM
by: Anonymous

physical therapists ask if i have low tolerance for pain as climbing the wall steps with my "repaired" arm painful. Turns out, surgery had failed. After second surgery, therapists take no responsibility for not picking up on pain associated with unrepaired shoulder. Insensitive to pain as stretching my shoulder. Hurts pretty sharply in same place over and over. Grit teeth as she moves arm to that same spot. Told her it hurts. "Thought u didn't need stretching, huh?"

Pissed now.

suggestions?

Can't lift arm straight up and forward, at all. Not painful, just cannot do it. Second surgery 5 weeks ago.

trust phyical therapy
by: Anonymous

I've gone though physical therapy for 3 months before my surgery was done and now according to them I'm actually progressing pretty quickly on my healing presses and yes it does hurt allot in physical therapy but trust me you will heal allot faster by doing so and if you choose not to then i hope your okay with limited movement for a long time because they know when they stretch you it hurts but its for your own well being. so just do as i do, take some pain pills before you pt and suck it up and remember no pain no gain

Can't say any different than the rest

I have had my left shoulder done in June of this year. Torn cuff, displaced ligament,with two others torn, one from my breast muscle causing inflammation in my upper left lung. It has been five weeks and I still have too much pain and sleepless nights.
I do some minor P/T at home, the doctor was furious with me telling me it would rip out the screws he had attached in order to put back the ligament and the cuff. I can't understand by it hurts just to lay still on my side, or better yet when I walk the arm feels like it is separated at the shoulder and elbow. I have trouble moving my fingers and lifting is out of the question. Oh but I can bend the elbow. Make any scenes? I am tired of take pain remedies and not able to do for myself.
What is next on this?

After shoulder surgery bone spur
by: Anonymous

Hi! I just recently had my shoulder surgery from bone spurs in my left shoulder. Yes, it is very painful, and no I don't get any sleep at night from hurting. I am not big on pain pills at all, but I just pray to god, and take it one day at a time. Good luck to all!

it takes time NEW
by: Anonymous

I'm female, very sports minded, super active, and 56 yrs. young. had my left shoulder repaired in January, 2011 and my right shoulder repaired 2 1/2 weeks ago. left shoulder was a full open surgery and took months to heal....but it did heal and I did all the work needed to regain full use of that shoulder. and yep it did hurt alot and took longer to heal than I wanted it too! doesn't hurt much anymore (unless I really overuse it, then it's still not too bad). the right shoulder was done with arthroscopic surgery on March 20, 2012, still not sleeping much and I am still in the recliner at night. but I am doing all the exercises I was told to do and using alieve, bc powders, etc. and lots of ice packs. I know if I just suck it up (pain wise) keep doing what I'm doing...this shoulder will heal too in time. so be patient, exercise the shoulder as instructed by your P.T. and/or doctor, and you should get better. after all, you did have surgery...healing isn't an overnight thing. healing takes time. stay steady...you'll get better.
