[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 3662934, member: 2833"] Good luck with what ever course of treatment you have to endure. I had the "pleasure" of 3 shoulder surgeries last year. Managed to tear up both shoulders in late 2019. Left shoulder in January 2020, standard rotator cuff repair with associated bone spur clean up and such. Recovery and PT went well and the left shoulder is near 100% with no issues. Right shoulder was also torn up in late December 2019 but the left was worse when we started. between toughing it out getting the left shoulder back up to speed the right shoulder was pretty much useless by the last week of June when I finally got in to get it fixed. 2nd go around on the right side after I blew out the bicep tendon in 2009. Mostly a pretty normal rotator cuff repair with bone spur and scar tissue clean up. Right shoulder was doing good with PT and little no pain at the 6 week point when my gall bladder jumped up and tried to kill me. Spent 3 days in the hospital due to a gangrenous gall bladder. Had the gall bladder removed the 1st week of August. Woke up from the gall bladder surgery, after they had been rooting around in my gut and all the associated mess with yanking out a diseased gall bladder and the first thing I remember was how bad my right shoulder was hurting. My guess is that after I was under anesthesia they had to move my fat *** around and managed to re-tear the fresh shoulder repair. Couldn't prove anything and basically had no recourse. Toughed it out till the end of October and had the right side fixed again. Problem was that after the 1st two repairs and the fresh damage there wasn't enough left for a regular rotator cuff repair. so I had a Superior capsular reconstruction with allo-graft (cadaver graft) to put it back together. A year later I have about 75-80% function on the right side and only occasional pain that I rarely need to take anything for. [/QUOTE]
