[QUOTE="caojyn, post: 2122041, member: 5425"] I had a labral tear. The surgery and recovery are very similar. The stretching and range of motion exercises were the only painful part. Just make sure that you are constantly moving, don't allow your shoulder to get stiff or it'll be that much more uncomfortable. I ended up needing a 2nd surgery. I first noticed it during my PT range of motion exercises, but you could hear the anchors "squeaking". Literally sounded like a rusty door hing. My therapist could hear it and told me to wait and see if it went away. A year later it was still there and I ended up needing a 2nd surgery. They didn't notice it last time, but my collar bone had partially fused with my scapula and was the cause of the origianl tear. They removed 2 of my 5 anchors and ground off 1 1/2 inches off my collar bone. My 2nd recovery was a lot slower than the first. Have to say, it often feels better than my "good" shoulder, except when the weather changes. [/QUOTE]
