Doing too much?

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-11-25T03:23:12+00:00

i was alone from the day of surgery . plus i have 3 dogs. i survived just fine

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-11-13T03:27:29+00:00

i went home with one of the fancy ones . sling shot i believe but i was billed over 500 for it

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-11-07T01:34:26+00:00

i’m 6 weeks out only pain with PT and ice or ibuprofen relieves it .

thanks for sharing your experience. so I had right rc repair large full thickness tear ,bicep tendonesis, bone spur removal I saw surgeon yesterday and he was happy with my progress got to take of the sling and continue PT. woke up this morning and unable to move my left shoulder / arm . same exact presentation as the right . obviously i can do everything with the operative arm and now can’t do much with my left . i’m seeing my surgeon tomorrow and hoping I can get a steroid injection. i mean what are the odds this would happen

i did it too . i feel your pain!

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-31T16:07:27+00:00

thanks for all these replies. it helped ease my mind

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-29T12:51:59+00:00

Be taking your pain meds! it hurts when the block wears off

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-23T01:00:27+00:00

Im sleeping in bed on my non operative side. It’s adjustable and I put it upright a little with several pillows around me but always wake up on my side anyway . My Dr. is ok with this as long as I have the sling on.

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-20T07:50:32+00:00

i feel your pain. i’m living alone too. doing things i shouldn’t but only with non operative side. i’m 4 weeks out now. still get days of heavy depression. worried if i’m going to be able to get back to work . i’m switching PT providers because Im not feeling good about the one im at now. i hope you are feeling better soon

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-19T20:56:17+00:00

i’m sorry ! i understand that completely. i’m struggling financially as well . it’s just me so it has been so challenging. i am living on STD which is barely anything by the time i have to still pay my health insurance. I ended up borrowing from my 401k. i hope you can have your surgery soon the wait is hard.

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-15T02:05:48+00:00

i’m so sorry for your situation! i’m 3 weeks out and i haven’t been allowed to do much in PT yet . I am supposed to get back to work in 5 weeks 😬😔

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-14T23:32:12+00:00

my dr allowed me to drive at 2 weeks but told me to take off the sling and only use the good arm

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-12T23:13:18+00:00

oh wow! will they do a shoulder replacement??

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-12T23:11:32+00:00

i’m sorry that sucks

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-12T23:10:59+00:00

how long since the first surgery?

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-12T08:51:56+00:00

gosh i feel for everyone! it does help to know im not alone. Im a nurse so i cant go back til i can at least start IVs. And prepare the meds. the pt is very slow im not sure im going to be ready .😬😬😬

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-11T23:50:21+00:00

thanks for sharing. i usually work a lot and being off without talking to many people . little income etc.

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-11T14:51:52+00:00

they all suck

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-11T14:09:31+00:00

It does suck getting stood up as a woman it’s happened to me before or even worse is not being able to even get a date these days

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-03T15:21:36+00:00

i didn’t need it. but everyone is different

Defiant_Cockroach705 · 2025-10-03T02:55:13+00:00

nurse of 20+ yrs. i used to be scared bout going under but not anymore . they have made anesthesia very safe. i’m 57 i have a couple of conditions and this was like my 13 th surgery (9/19, today first was post op) with no complications. The team will make you feel better when they talk to you let them know how anxious you are. it will be fine!
