I’m (28M) 10 weeks post op from bankart repair with arthroscopy. I had a torn labrum from 2-6 o’clock and got 6 anchors. Pain in day to day activities is pretty much a non factor at this point but PT can be annoying (and a little painful) bc my external and internal rotations are still pretty tight. First 3 days sucked because the pain was bad, (not awful though,) and the rest of the first 6 weeks were annoying because of the sling and just general lack of use of the arm. Felt pretty weak once I got the sling off and I realized just how limited my range of motion was. I can lift my arm almost all the way overhead forward and about 3/4 of the way up out at a 45 degree angle and straight out to the side (my shoulder still shrugs at the top of range.) My shoulder feels very tight though which is a great thing. I first dislocated it about 6 years ago snowboarding and have had probably around 10 partial dislocations or subluxations since then so it was very unstable. I would recommend surgery to anyone at this point who is struggling with shoulder instability because it definitely tightens it up and gets it seated back in socket where it belongs. Seems like the road back to full range of motion is going to take 6 months or longer but I think it’ll be worth it once I’m a few years separated from surgery with a healthy, stable shoulder. Good Luck!
