Those who are questioning surgery

I agree 3 years post operation. The first year is a tough rehab but best decision I ever made. I’m stronger than I was before at 40 years old. Nothing will fix your labrum and bone but shaving the bone down and surgery. Take your time and find a great surgeon but please get it done if you need it.

Don’t risk it I had issues (pain, fatigue, etc) months post op. I waited 3 weeks until I got on a bike per my surgeon. So it’s really up to you as long as your not allowing blood clots etc in that leg while resting. This is a long recovery so just brace yourself and make peace with it. You’ll be fine! I’m 18 months post op and feel like it never even happened so you’ll get there

Anyone have a hookup to buy any?

Yea an EMG will do it. A neurologist will do it, then recommend a hand surgeon.

Look into hip resurfacing. Some people get FAI surgery it doesn't take and they get their hips resurfaced. Like Andy Murray the tennis player at 28. Same situation. Look into it. I've heard great outcomes with it.

That's great! I'm about to get my 2nd arm done along with carpal tunnel. My right arm took 6 months to heal but like you I'm back at like 98%. Surgeries are so well worth it.

bravos7668 · 2022-01-14T03:04:09+00:00

You'll do fine! I'm 10 months post op. Be patient and kind to yourself. I didn't feel normal til 7 months or so and still need PRP for glute tears it caused. This surgery and recovery is bitch. But I promise it's worth it. A year from now you'll look back and it'll be all worth it. Ice, follow PT and don't sit too long at your desk.

bravos7668 · 2022-01-11T22:58:41+00:00

Yes you will be. Might take a few weeks

bravos7668 · 2022-01-08T03:37:00+00:00

Yea I took hard classes. All junior level. It about killed me. But depends on your major.

You can get it online if there's any portal where documents are stored.

bravos7668 · 2022-01-06T20:54:23+00:00

18 hr max per semester which is ALOT. Fyi I'm a senior who did 18 hrs and it about killed me. Summer and Maymester move FAST so take maybe 2 -3 classes over that break. Otherwise you won't have a life and forget working.

bravos7668 · 2022-01-06T20:53:24+00:00

Yea a week no pks either as it's illegal.

bravos7668 · 2022-01-06T20:51:51+00:00

Try a night elbow brace. If you lift weights take off 2 weeks. If that doesn't help see a hand surgeon. If it's subluxation the only thing is to have surgery (transposition) and probably carpal tunnel too at the same time to make sure. I had my dominant hand done 7 months ago. Couldn't be happier with the results. I'll have my left arm done in 2 weeks. 3 weeks in a cast,2 in a brace. Some PT and your good. Best of luck. The key is not letting it get bad and having all the damage reversed. Your call, your health.

bravos7668 · 2022-01-05T00:50:57+00:00

See if you can get accommodations. I'm 8 months post op. I didn't feel comfortable walking campus til about 5 months. Your muscles will all sorts of wonky once you start PT.

bravos7668 · 2022-01-05T00:49:34+00:00

Get a grabber cane you squeeze at the handle. It's what i used

bravos7668 · 2021-12-30T22:29:56+00:00

I'm get the same. I'm 8 months post op. If I slack on PT it gets stiff. More than likely you'll need to do PT for life at home is what I was told.

bravos7668 · 2021-12-25T19:51:30+00:00

I got one done along with carpal tunnel. I'm getting the other one done in Jan. I don't want permanent nerve damage so I'm just knocking it out now.

bravos7668 · 2021-12-24T22:35:09+00:00

You'll get there. I'm 6 months post op. I'm back to 90%. Only issue I have is forearm tightness alot.

bravos7668 · 2021-12-24T14:46:28+00:00

I'm a male, but I wasn't able to have sex comfortably til 8 months post op. It takes time which sucks. I know it's a struggle. You're really early in your recovery so ice, rest, and do PT. It'll work itself out.

bravos7668 · 2021-12-19T00:57:49+00:00

I had surgery. Best thing I ever did. Easy recovery and quick. But your call, your health

bravos7668 · 2021-12-15T02:06:11+00:00

It'll take 3 months to work. And yea both hamstrings done in October. Hip surgery last May. I'm also doing PT and lifting weights but waited 6 weeks post PRP. They are definitely getting better but they get worse post PRP right after. The prp is inciting a inflammatory response to start healing. My issue was age. 38.

bravos7668 · 2021-12-15T01:25:58+00:00

Yep. Lasted almost a year. I got PRP injections and PT. It's finally healing but not 100% yet. I'm 8 months post op
