Cuff update, breaking news

Saw the sturgeon the other day and my ROM restrictions can be removed, and I get to take off the sling a few hours a day. ROM is excellent, but still assisted, no strength training yet. Anticipate it at ~ 12 weeks.

Doc said I was the poster child for successful shoulder repair.

W00t 4 m3 1!!

OK, the MRI is good, they'll see something and then you see the surgeon and he'll let you know what's what. Do you know what part of the cuff is torn? Supraspinatus is most common, but there are lots of other things in there too. The MRI will give them an idea of how bad it is, but it isn't great. Mine was much worse than it showed and he ended up having to cut me open.

zippyt · 04-07-2011, 08:42 PM

No clue exactly whats torn or messed up , all I know is my arm/sholerd Hurts like a Byotch and I cant Lift my arm further than about 25-30degrees with out Whimpering like a child .

Every body I have talked to about this said the Dr xrayed them , gave them some exersizes and meds to try First , Then if that did no good Mri and Possably surgery ,

Leave it to me to go directly to the Advanced corse !!!

They do that whole excercise and steroids shit to everyone. I was all like whatever, but you know what? I know shit ain't right and I've been injured enough to know when rubbing some dirt on it will make it better. This ain't one of those times.

Doc told my friend who was waiting to take me home "I don't know how he was using his arm." Yeah, that's why I was there.

Going for shoulder surgery April 19th. Not rotator cuff, though.

Rotator cuffs are the new tonsils.
