After PT and cortisone shots, I had the rotator cuff surgery a month ago. It's not for sissies.

I've had eleven shoulder reconstructive surgeries. Six on the right and five on the left. Was told last week that the left is tore up again. This time it's the labrum. That's bad news. Had that on the right several times. It's not fun.
I see the surgeon on Monday.
He mentioned the possibility of a replacement after the last surgery. Not looking forward to any of this.

The right? No specific injury, probably from a good part of 20 years as a tank mechanic. Those parts are heavy...lol
The first surgery was done by an Army Major who was more concerned about his country music career than he was being an orthopedic surgeon and when he went in to fix it, he did a clavicle resection and when he cut the bone, he left a jagged piece of bone that caught the rotator cuff and just kept tearing it while I was recovering and doing PT. He also missed that the labrum was torn.
The left, I twisted it completely out of socket when I was strapping something to my truck when the ground was wet and I was holding the strap and was trying to maintain my footing as my body twisted around until it snapped out of socket. Talk about pain.
Was operated on a year later and all was good until I was awaiting surgery on the right and had to change a tire on my car and felt a tear. They have been trying to fix it with some pretty radical surgeries. The biceps tendon has been attached and reattached lower twice now.
FYI, tendon surgeries are painful.

Rick, I feel for you. My cousin used to pitch for Rice University and had a promising career ahead of him. ...I was watching him pitch one day..he threw a fast ball..and collapsed in pain on the mound...with a torn rotator cuff. The pain was horrible for him, and. ...he was never the same.

I'm sorry you have to go through it again, Rick. I'm whining because of just this one repair a month ago.

Before surgery I would find a talented Yogi and learn some stretches. It may become a daily routine to alleviate pain and then prevent. Good luck.
