I'm too lazy to look up the archive on this one. Sorry. I was wondering. How many of you people have had shoulder surgery? I mean. Most of us have swum (or is it swam) many miles. What do you contribute your pain too? I have not swum long distances for quite some time. Just wondering what I should watch out for as I begin to balance my stones.
Wow Morgan! I was still in a sling/shoulder imobilizer 3 weeks after my surgery. My Dr. didn't want me to MOVE AT ALL so the shoulder capsule would stay tight. I had 9 months of PT 2-3 times a week and couldn't lift my arm above my chest for about 3 months. I never will forget the first time I was able to move my arm in a freestyle motion on land! It was about 6 months after surgery and I was so happy I literally cried. Different people, different shoulder issues, different surgeries I guess. Count your lucky stars!
My prolo doc had this exact experience and many of his patients have too. That's one reason why people seek non-surgical options. I'm just soooo glad yours was successful!! Although if I'm gonna swim the 50 free, you gotta swim the 50 fly in Austin! (If we don't wreck or re-wreck our shoulders before then. LOL.)
