Depressed

[tank766]

hey everyone, as some of you know i had my shoulder operated on four weeks ago after nine months of pain and bullshit. I had a anterior capsule repair and a stitch put in my labrum along with removal of bursitis. Everything is going pretty good, atleast thats what my therapists tells me. i really thought i would be progressing quicker than this. after four weeks out i can barely lift my arm to 90degrees and can externally rotate my arm only about two inches. the pain has pretty much subsided other than with therapy but i still have to sleep in the bulky brace for another 2weeks. Anyway just wanted to vent for a while and look for some support from anyone who knows about shoulder injuries/surgery. i have lost 9lbs and look like i have lost 20lbs. my left(affected side) shoulder and arm is like a toothpick and everywhere i go someone says, Are you losing weight?? I fucking love that. thanks for listening. tank....

Shoulder Rehab

Hey dude,
Last Aug I had labral tear repair and bone spur removed to right shoulder. I will tell you to be patient and follow your therapist's advice. I am also a Physical Therapist and I was a bit more aggressive with my rehab. At 3-4 weeks out I started to bench bar with half range of motion. I slowly added wt. and went all the way down to chest. I also did alot PROM. internal rotation, External rotation not passing neutral, frontal & lateral raises, and scaption. (It took >2 months to get back to squates because unable to reach back to bar. Your therapist can help you.
Anyways, currently my right shoulder feels better than left. I'm able to push as hard as I can, so be patient. You will come back strong and motivated.
Good Luck,
EdMan

thanks for the advice but 3-4weeks you could bench the bar. Shit i cant even hardly open a cabinet door in the kitchen, does that sound normal. im known to be an impatient person but i have been rolling with it on this shoulder im not doing anything the therapist doesnt give me the ok to do but damn. Right now im doing passiveROM with pulleys and doing wall climbs and internal rotation active with a band. this week he started me on external rotation by holding a broom handle with affected arm and pushing gently with the other. thanks for the advice and does this all sound about right. tank..

I don't know much about shoulder rehab, but I missed 3 months of training and was on crutches for most of that when I dislocated my hip. Just try and be positive and maybe look at it as an opportunity to do some other things you haven't had time for in the past. It'll come, it's just slow.

Hey bro, i had a broken bone from a bike accident last summer and my right arm was literally 1/2 the size of the other..

it looked so funny.

i returned in the gym too early and started arms with literally no weight very slowly increasing weight. in 2 months the were the same. muscle memory is not a myth. it will get strong very soon.
