I just got back from my last visit with my sports medicine doctor and he has recommeded orthoscopic surgery on my shoulder. After at least nine months of xray's, an mri, a cortizone shot, and a great rehab program the pain and catching in my shoulder just won't go away. After 30+ years of swimming and never having an injury that required surgery, I'm a little reluctant go under the knife.
I wondering if any of you can give me some advice regarding labrum tear surgery, rehab, and recovery time.
I am having a second opinion..... but would like to have more..
Thanks everyone..
Dennis
Kip,
welcome to the old fast guy with torn up shoulder(s) club.
very sorry to hear you have joined the ranks.
maybe we can have a special heat at Nats for those of us with "extra" parts inside holding us together.
my right shoulder is starting to look like it should have Lego stamped on it from all the plastic inside.
if you want any tips feel free to email/pm me. i'll gladly tell you or anybody what all i went through on my now 2 recoveries.
