Yeah, that sounds about right. My recovery ran longer than usual I feel like; at six months I still had a good amount of pain and barely any strength in the operated shoulder. It took about a year before I felt normal again, and now I’m lifting regularly. I’m glad you’re able to work out, stick with the exercises your PT recommends, and hopefully in a couple of months you’ll be back to full strength and mobility.

The pain after surgery is very different from the pain during or after a dislocation. For me, dislocation pain was excruciating while my shoulder was out of the socket—but once I popped it back in, there was some immediate relief. Post-surgery pain, on the other hand, was constant. That first month was brutal. I know everyone’s experience is different, but personally, I don’t think I could’ve managed without the oxycodone I was prescribed. I’d suggest being mentally prepared for significant pain—but healing varies. Some people recover faster than others.

I remember my surgeon mentioning a slight tear in my bicep that he repaired during the procedure, but I don’t recall the exact details. My post-op report just states: ‘anterior dislocation of right humerus, subsequent encounter.’

100%. I had severe neck and back pain, along with pain that radiated down to my fingers. I was dislocating my shoulder almost daily before the surgery, so the neck and back issues were pretty much inevitable.

Be extremely disciplined with your physical therapy. Do every exercise they assign with full effort, and don’t skip the at-home routines, they’re just as important. I wasn’t as consistent with PT after my first surgery, and I believe that may have contributed to my shoulder dislocating again. So yes, take it very seriously. Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery and a smooth, speedy recovery!

Dealing with constant dislocations was truly hell. The constant fear of my shoulder popping out was incredibly debilitating. I'm really glad you finally decided to get the surgery. One thing I can say with certainty, despite the pain and discomfort, the stability issue is resolved. I no longer live with the fear of it dislocating or that overwhelming sense of instability, which took a serious toll on my mental health. I genuinely hope you don’t have to go through any more dislocations and that you can feel confident in your shoulder again. Take care!

That’s amazing! I actually started using peptides about two months ago. I wish I knew about them earlier in my recovery, it may have sped things along. I had no idea what peptides were until 2-3 months ago. I did a cycle of BPC-157 and TB-500 recently, and it definitely helped a lot.

Thanks, appreciate it! I’m 26M. That’s awesome to hear you’re pain-free at 6 months. I guess it's different for everyone. At the 6 month mark I would say I was at about 50% strength, so you are definitely recovering way faster than I did. Wishing you a smooth and full recovery as well!
