^^ Well...hard to argue with success!

Who has had this surgery and how was your recovery? I had it on September 5, 2024 and it marked my 10th orthopedic surgery. It is by far the most painful.

What were the symptoms before the surgery?

2.5 hours in surgery yesterday for my shoulder. The doc fixed 31 different problems and installed a bunch of hardware. The next time I go to the airport should be interesting.

Damn dude!! What did you do??

Tore my rotator cuff. I also f'ed up my bicep. There was also some other stuff, related to the injury, going on that they had to fix. To put in perspective how bad it was and how much pain was involved they did a nerve block (before putting me under) that required them sticking a needle in my neck. That sucked a bunch! Then they had me on fentanyl yesterday while I was in the hospital. Today it's 10 mg oxycodone every six hours.

The bone would rub on the tendon and cause pain. It got serious when it hurt with every golf ball hit.

What did you do to get screwed up like that?

Glad you're on the mend brother! You and your family are in my prayers.

Part of it is an old work injury that reared its ugly head, at least I think it is but I can't prove it. The other things, I have no idea. Could just be part of getting old I guess.

Be careful with oxy, it has a bad reputation

Where on the shoulder was the pain?
Was it non stop or did it get worse in some arm positions?
