I feel yer pain.
I gots labrum repair surgery next Friday. 4 weeks immobilized. PT after week 6. No biking fer me this summer, and a trip to the carribean 13 days post-op. Can one snorkel with one's arm tightly strapped to one's side?
Heal fast.
bummer...btdt, it heals.
I'm now 15 days post-op of a fully torn rotator cuff tendon (supraspinatus) and partially torn rotator cuff. I'm in a sling with no active movement for the first 4-6 weeks. I started physical therapy 8 days after surgery (only passive movement) and I'm going 3 days a week along with home exercises 2 times per day.
Some suggestions to ease the difficulty of only being able to use one hand... I rented a recliner to sleep in because it was too painful to lay down. To make showering easier, I got a shower head on a hose so it's easier to rinse under the arm as well as one of those scrub brushes with a long handle to reach the places my one good arm can't. I also now have two slings and wear... I wear the one they gave me immediately after the operation in the shower to keep the arm stable.
Edit: First sentence should've read, "I'm now 15 days post-op of a fully torn rotator cuff tendon (supraspinatus) and partially torn labrum."
Wow, hello cronies. on May 3rd I had a capsular shift and I had a torn peice of cartillege surrounding the socket anchored into the bone, I can't remember what that was called due to the anesthesia. They scoped in back and sliced open the front. The slice now has a hematoma as you can see here-

Mine was a military job and they told me to take it out of the sling 3 times a day for slight motion. I think I over did it because yesterday I ran out of pain pills and the pain was excruciating all night long. Funny how laying down is so much worse than standing up. Anyways, I was doing great until yesterday the 18th and now I have a hematoma I have to carefully watch and I am getting constant fevers for some reason and I have no energy. Has this happened to anyone else?
I like the suggestions Spanky, if only I didn't live in military dorms I could fit a recliner in my room!
Do you guys like my nipple? I think it is the perfect size! Ha! Good luck recovering to all of us!
Swelling, blood collection, increased pain and a fever... Get yourself checked for an infection. Seriously, get on anti-biotics.Quote:

With a bunch of aspirin I have been able to get the fever down, but yes I think I will just go to a real doctor if the fever comes back.
Now what is the trick to not eat so much snack food while being relatively lathargic for so many weeks? I don't want my nipples to start sagging!
Physical therapy rocks
motion is cool
stretching cna hurt, but not so bad
sling did not restrict strippers or booze in vegas/mead, btw..........
