Re: Torn posterior labrum surgery and recovery advice and experiences [The GMAN]
“How long were you out of work? How long until you could drive a vehicle? How long before I can hold an Xbox controller? How should I sleep and what should I sleep on? I assume I should invest in a nice recliner. How long before you were back to training? How do I not get fat? Most importantly, how long until you more or less felt like you were back to "normal"? “

My wreck was in august of ‘16. Like yours, mine took some time to manifest. I wrecked 8/8 and did Augusta on 9/25. Then, it got bad. I

Other shoulder was operated on in ‘99. 50% year of the Supra spinatus tendon and a type III spur. This time was torn labrum and minor RC tear. I’m 54 (USAT) and I have a desk job.

My surgery was 12/14/16. I wore my sling to work (drove myself) on Thursday (aka the next day). I never put it back on. I ran the next week and was riding the trainer in about 4 weeks. I swam 50 yds on March 27 and a mile one week later. I did Choo 70.3 in may of ‘17.

I did sleep in a recliner for about a week. There were a few times I did things that hurt. I bought a hand ergometer and did band exercises 2x/day.

Good luck.
