Can you walk me through the typical treatment for a problem of shoulder instability? I don't know how it happened, but I ended up with one shoulder that just doesn't work normally. The physician who examined me called it unidirectional instability. I'm set up to start physical therapy next week but what's the big picture look like for something like this? 50 weeks 3 days ago 137
I have a cousin who can pop his shoulders in and out just by trying. This can't be normal. Is it 50 weeks 3 days ago 264
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? 51 weeks 5 days ago 203
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? 51 weeks 5 days ago 168
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 year 2 days ago 266
