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
Great answers and advice. Thanks. The more I research this the more I come to understand why some people might choose to live with the disability rather than go through the surgery and long rehab. Since I hope to have 30+ years of activity ahead of me, I am working on getting my mind wrapped around the challenge ahead. I have always liked a good challenge, so we shall see.
