I'd do exactly what the surgeon says, and nothing more. If they're vague see a physiotherapist, delivery but stages on the internet.

I had keyhole shoulder surgery and was told not to even think about climbing for 6 months. Seriously mentally challenging actually taking that time out but it beats damaging the work done and having to go under the knife again. That might not even be practical...

Don't you bloody start :001_tongue: I'll be safe as long as Geoff is aiming at me cos he couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo :biggrin:

 

Its a fair sized target you will present me with mate, & I am a marksman with a rifle, so your bullseye should be a gentle challenge!:001_tt2::biggrin:

 

Thanks for the well wishes you lot, & I am taking things easy & doing the physio, seems to be getting more mobility in the arm already.:001_smile:

Hang in there Geoff,speedy recovery

 

Thanks Silky,I nearly got nicked two days after the opp, I was on oral morphine for a week, & took a stroll whist at the girlfriends house & found a park area, sat down on a bench & had a good slug on the dreaded dream juice, next thing I knew I had a community cop giving me the shake down as I had dozed off on the bench in the frost with the bottle in my lap, they thought I was a gear head on a day out!:001_rolleyes::confused1::laugh1:

Hi chaps. .having injured my left shoulder back last summer and having physio my shoulder is not much better, specialist recommended having a MRI scan which i had and showed up i had part torn my supraspinatus ligament at the top of my shoulder which has healed but healed with scar tissue which means it is lumpy and bumpy.. so the pain i am having especially when i move my arm outside ways is the healed ligament is rubbing on the lower part of the acronium which is inflaming the whole area giving pain in shoulder blades and down my arm.

 

Is this what others are experiencing, also lack power, cant sleep on that shoulder and cant throw

 

anything with any power? Working is difficult and makes me feel not wanting to bother. Surgeon was quite vague when i mentioned pain in other parts of the shoulder just its all linked to the ligament in

 

question. Anyway having the operation to smooth the tendon and shave a bit off the acronium to make

space to allow free movement, 6 weeks off till i work again. Is this correct.

Hi Daniel, I'm getting back to normal slowly, another couple of weeks should see me ready to bomb the sh!t out of you, regards the torrents of abuse, I will give you a bell & top you up mate!:laugh1:

 

Luftwaffe, six to eight weeks in my humble opinion, but we are all different, yours sounds similar to mine in so much as the bone grind & soft tissue work.

But I have found some loss of muscle from sitting about that will need to be built back up.:001_smile:

Yeah thanks geoff, ligaments take 6 times longer to heal than muscles, its the longest injury i've ever had, its a proper bar steward...hope you get better soon .
