Being one handed was very difficult for me as I am very active. But after the third day I quit taking my pain medication. When I went in to have my staples removed they said it looked great. On my trip back to the doctor I did not wear my sling. He wanted me to try physical therapy. I had two appointments, which I did not go to. I just recently had my second appointment, February 4, 2008, and my doctor had me show him the movement that I had in my arm. I could do everything that he ask. He asked how physical therapy was going. I told him that I had not been. He said that I was doing so well that I did not need to go. When I told anyone that I was going to have this surgery, they said it was the most painful surgery. I had very little pain and could use my arm a couple of weeks after the surgery. I was not taking an medication and had no pain. Guess I am one of the lucky ones. I had a rotator cuff surgery on December 12, 2007. Being one handed was very difficult for me as I am very active.

I don't promote it, we have used it many times successfully on back, neck, knee, elbow. I would cut back on the pills, and increase the cold packs and electronics for best healing.

I even herneated 3 discs in my neck (again rugby) and nothing, i meam nothing hurts worse than a blown shoulder. I feel your pain dude. You instinctivly reach for things, and every movement sends searing hot pain through your brain. It gets better after 5-6 days. Hope u still make it to the seminar this weekend. hey sean that sucks ass. not to steal your thunder, but remind me to show you the 1.75 inches of play in my left shoulder socket from multiple rotater cuff blow-outs playing rugby in college.

I had a rotator cuff injury myself. The only good thing about it was the hydrocodone. I hope you get better. I had a rotator cuff injury myself. The only good thing about it was the hydrocodone.
