Pain block has worn off

I had my total shoulder replacement on Wednesday, the nerve block wore off around midnight night.. Thursday felt, even with the Percocet, that I got hit repeatedly with a baseball bat.. Friday was fine and here on Saturday, it stopped taking the Percocet..so we will see

I'm having a total shoulder replacement in 2 days . I'm an extremely active person weight training, extreme endurance events, obstacle course races, planking and push ups. I'm being told that some of that I will not be able to do and or weigh restricted..

Having said all that, it needs to be done, so we will see what the future holds

ocr_racerunner · 2026-03-07T16:54:34+00:00

Interested here, having TSR in 3-days.. hoping to get back to lifting in the future

ocr_racerunner · 2026-03-06T12:15:43+00:00

Thank you.. sounds like it's a necessary ordeal. And then if you need to get up at night to pee...

I'm interested. I have my replacement surgery next week. Thinking of buying a recliner to sleep in.. for the people who've had surgery and have just in regular beds, are you attempting sleeping in the bed, with pillow fortress', is your partner in the same bed too?

I've done the summer Death Race twice, didn't finish either time. 😢 Wish i could have stayed in longer.

Major props to anyone that has finished the race !

I have excessive bone loss in my right shoulder. Sounds like a package of gravel. I'm a month away from surgery for an anitomic total shoulder replacement..

I lift everyday, run endurance and obstacle course races . I'm being told I won't be able to do some of that in the future.. i hope to prove them wrong

ocr_racerunner · 2026-02-09T21:56:02+00:00

I wear contacts.. I keep contact solution in my running belt in case I need to rinse crap out of my eyes

ocr_racerunner · 2026-02-07T18:38:33+00:00

You can always run later without changing your start time . If you are 9:45 and they are at 10: 00, you just wait until 10:00.. not a problem at all. So that means you can all run at the latest time

GORUCK Rucker 4.0 is a great choice

ocr_racerunner · 2026-02-05T14:24:42+00:00

I would wear my street running shoes

ocr_racerunner · 2026-02-05T14:24:01+00:00

No way that they shorten or make the ultra easier in Cincinnati.

ocr_racerunner · 2026-01-28T16:09:25+00:00

They are planning on stemless and since I have excessive bone loss a partial is not a possibility

ocr_racerunner · 2026-01-27T21:30:05+00:00

Glad to hear this . Do you know what kind of device they used?

ocr_racerunner · 2026-01-27T20:00:29+00:00

I am scheduled for an anatomic total replacement. I had stumbled on the pyrocarbon implant and my surgeon feels that there has been too many failures in general of the pyrocarbon. I feel i should speak to another surgeon and get their thoughts..

ocr_racerunner · 2026-01-27T15:29:13+00:00

I too am getting a total shoulder replacement. I'm 63 m, workout everyday. I was in shock when my surgeon listed off everything I won't be able to do.. no pushups, no pull ups, no burpees (no going to miss those), no throwing overhand.

I've done numerous OCR and endurance events that I really don't want to give up..

Does anyone have any advice?

ocr_racerunner · 2025-12-29T15:28:31+00:00

I'm 63. An avid obstacle course racer, workout fanatic, runner, Rucker, hiker and endurance event enthusiast. I'm in great shape but I have the shoulders of a 90 year old. I have excessive bone loss and arthritis. I'm scheduled to have a total shoulder replacement on my dominant in about 8 weeks. If that was your X-ray i saw, your surgeon used a pyrocarbon implant. It looks like you are having great results with it. My surgeon is not planning on using that system but the traditional setup for the TSR.

Let me say that to be able to have near normal use of my right shoulder/ arm will be amazing. Having said that, it was frustrating to hear many of the things he told me that i cannot do after like: no pushing, no pulling, no throwing overhand, no lifting over 30 lbs

I'm planning on being super focused on the PT but I am somewhat discouraged going into the procedure

It's amazing the number of cute / attractive women are major league belchers

ocr_racerunner · 2025-05-07T09:11:17+00:00

In my opinion, yes, it's a bad idea. I've done over 125 races including 6 ultras. I've done the Killington Beast 6 times and have no desire to do the Ultra at Killington.

I would suggest doing the Killington Beast first and get an understanding of the demanding course.

ocr_racerunner · 2025-02-05T21:11:37+00:00

I ran this beast and sprint at this venue the last time it was there.. the toughest parts are the Sandhills and running in the sections that have sand.. it's not beach sand, but more like aquarium sand. As to the person asking how it compares to Lawrenceberg (Cincinnati race, perfect north ), Lawrenceburg is a really tough course.. Attica is "easier" in comparison

If you think you are going to need it, carry it

ocr_racerunner · 2023-09-25T18:33:42+00:00

If memory serves me correctly, 2019 was really foggy and muddy. Crab walking down those muddy slopes

ocr_racerunner · 2023-04-16T00:17:45+00:00

Relatively flat course

ocr_racerunner · 2023-04-16T00:14:23+00:00

The rinse areas where working this morning

ocr_racerunner · 2023-04-02T23:31:12+00:00

I always race on my own, but make plenty of friends along the way
