I am interested in hearing any stories or advice from people who have undergone supraspinatus tear repair. I recently suffered a 1 cm "clean tear" during an incident when I was tumbled by a rogue wave down a lava wall. The good news is I survived with no neck or head injuries, only abrasions and - the bad news - a messed up shoulder, which will require surgical repair "sooner rather than later".
I know the recovery from this is slow but can be successful. So while I am very sad I will miss several months of swimming, I am optimistic about getting back to it this summer.
Any tips? what questions should I ask the surgeon?
Thanks, Karen
That stinks, Karen. Sounds like a very adventurous accident - glad you're ok. Hope you get some good answers and that your recovery is speedy. My dad tore his rotator cuff playing tennis a couple years ago (he's 84 now) and he's back to playing tennis now. I'll ask if he has any thoughts for you.
