I'm now 24 days post-op. Surgeon repaired my joint capsule, labrum wasn't itself torn but it was torn from the bone in a certain spot so that was repaired as well. Seven anchors in place to hold all that and sutures together. Total recovery in the 6-8 month range from what I've been told. I have my second follow up with the surgeon on December 3rd and hopefully he tells me I no longer need to wear the sling.
PT has been going well. My range of motion is a little beyond the benchmarks at this point so hopefully my recovery is on the shorter side of things. I would like to start jogging first of the year, hopefully that's possible. Been doing some recumbent bike riding at the gym. Need to lose about 15 pounds I've gained since the bike crash six months ago. :-(
Was it a partial tear or a full tear? I got hit by a car about 3 months ago. Got my shoulder checked out by an ortho a few weeks after because it was hurting bad and had limited motion. After a couple MRIs I have a partially torn labrum and 2 of the rotator cuff tendons are partially torn. I’m not opting for surgery yet. I got 2 cortisone shots that after a few days REALLY helped, and continuing PT to strengthen the rest of the shoulder. It feels better for the most part, but again, trying not to do too much, too fast, and have a big setback.
