I saw my orthopedic surgeon last week about having my very large rotator cuff tear repaired. I'm still mulling over the advice I got and that was: the tendon might not heal even with surgery but I might get some pain relief and better motion. And that means I might get some better use of the arm. I think the surgeon used the word "function" rather than "better use" -- that was my take on it. What do you think? Are all those mights worth taking the risk? 1 week 2 days ago 6
Three years ago, I had a very severe rotator cuff tear repaired. When I went in for a check-up on my worsening knee arthritis, the surgeon did a follow-up X-ray and ultrasound of the shoulder. Found out the tendon never really healed but I'm still much better. How do you explain that? Is it all just in my head? Is it because I thought it was repaired so the pain went away and I got more motion and could do more things? Weird! 1 week 2 days ago 6
I'm 70 years old but still quite active. Last year, I fell and dislocated my shoulder. It never healed right and keeps popping out of the socket. I saw a surgeon who wants to do some kind of a bony bridge to stick a piece of bone back into the socket. Am I "too old" for something like this? I know I don't heal like I used to and this sounds ... complicated. 2 weeks 2 days ago 20
If I have arthroscopic surgery to stabilize my chronically dislocating shoulder, what kind of rehab should I expect? The surgeon says he will use an all-arthroscopic "bony bank bridge" method of reconstruction. 2 weeks 2 days ago 20
When would you recommend using hyaluronic acid injections into a frozen shoulder over steroid injections? I'm not sure I would opt for either one but I'd like to find out all I can first before deciding anything. 8 weeks 1 day ago 75
