I just got a failing grade in life. I had arthroscopic shoulder surgery to fix a broken rotator cuff and it didn't take. The physician's assistant I saw today explained to me that this is a case of "failed rotator cuff syndrome." I was told all about the next surgery I can have to fix the first one. The question is: if it didn't work the first time, why would another surgery be any more successful? 1 day 21 hours ago 2
I'm really disappointed in the results of my arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. I had all kinds of high hopes of being back on the tennis court and golf course by this summer. Instead, all I have to show for the surgery is more shoulder pain and even less motion than before surgery. The surgeon says it's called failed rotator cuff syndrome. What the heck does THAT mean? 1 day 21 hours ago 1
I had surgery for a rotator cuff tear two weeks ago. I'm wearing the blasted abduction sling but I truly hate it. I am itching to take it off and just move my arm a tiny bit. I've been given instructions by the surgeon but told not to do anything more than dangle and do circles with the arm while dangling. Would it really hurt anything to give it a tiny bit of movement? 1 week 1 hour ago 6
I am getting ready to have surgery for a rotator cuff tear. The surgeon said I would be wearing a funky pillow splint under my arm for "four to six weeks." I'm just wondering how they know which it is: four, five, or six weeks? I'd like to be done with all this as quickly as possible. 1 week 1 hour ago 8
Years ago, I injured my shoulder and opted to go to physical therapy instead of having surgery. The diagnosis at that time was that I had a Hill-Sachs lesion. Now I'm starting to have a sensation of "catching" when I move my arm from overhead back down to my side. Once in awhile, my arm actually gets stuck and I can't move it for awhile. Is it time for me to consider having surgery? 3 weeks 1 day ago 18
