Shoulder Surgery

[expony18]

rehab varies depending on how extensive your P.T. is and how bad the tear is in the labrum.

I can tell you for about 6 weeks youll be in a sling and the rehab will start after that. depending on how bad the tear is, the time table varies on the surgery and the type of tear you have. it could be 2-4 months after you get off the sling, it could take up to a year. I recommend surgery.

I tore my rotator cuff and labrum wrestling in high school and decided to not have the surgery because i would have missed the state tournament. one of the biggest mistakes of my life. to this day i still have sharp pain in my arm.

thanks for the advice ... very consistent with what i've hear.... i go back in the 20th of august for a second opinion but i think im going to have the surgery

anyone ever had surgery on their labrum?

if so, how long was the rehab? do you feel like it is better since the surgery? were there any complications, or lingering problems from the surgery?


thanks

Hey, expony18: sounds like you need to speak with SMU DL Mickey Dollens! In an article about Dollens in the Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise he said:

“I had to have Labrum surgery on my shoulder,â€
