Maybe I'll be riding again by July

['73 H1 Triple]

Hurt my right shoulder at work in March. Never got better so I went to the dr. After a motion/strength test, a MRI was ordered.

MRI shows one torn tendon and another has a partial tear. :td: Need surgery to repair.

Have an appointment with the surgeon on the 29th to see what he suggests.

damn

UPDATE

Turns out I tore the end of one tendon right off the bone. Surgery on May 14 and then I get to spend 6 weeks in an immobilizer sling before starting rehab.

I think summer will be ending by the time I'm cleared to ride

I had a different issue that had to be fixed so it may be different, but in my experience shoulder surgery hurts like a bitch. It sucked huge but I really couldn't avoid it. Good luck with yours.

In '02, I had ACL reconstructive surgery on my left knee. During rehab, I saw the poor folks doing shoulder rehab and was hoping I would never be in their shoes.

As much as that is going to suck, it's worse trying to do stuff with a "arm and a half". It has to be fixed and I'll do my best with rehab. Just have to man up and do it to get back to 100%

Mine was for a seriously torn labrum and for a month after the surgery I literally couldn't do anything with that arm. It was in a sling all the time and the only way I could sleep was in a recliner so my arm would be propped up. I don't like taking pills either, never bothered to fill the prescriptions I was given after my dislocations, but I took every last pill they gave me after the surgery. After that there was 2 months of PT where doing a reverse fly or row laying down with a 2.5lb weight would make my shoulder feel like it was on fire.

Ultimately though it was something I had to do and I would guess my shoulder is now at 90-95%. It doesn't really bother me, it just reminds me occasionally that it was pretty screwed up.

Broke my Left Tib/Fib going on 2 years and it was the worst 3 months of my life. Rehab was a motherfucker and it made me appreciate being a healthy young male. But it's funny...I thought I wish i had a arm injury rather than not being able to walk...Having one leg seemed way worse than one arm.

Though I did play ALOT of video games...probably wouldnt have been able to do that had it been an arm/shoulder injury.

Heal up quick and take it easy

Geez - hopefully good as new when done!

I think if you take enough paon killers, you should be fine.

Dont they just drain them?

[Gas Man]

IDK... haven't went to the specialist... was in the middle of switching insurance companies due to wife's job change.

Got to reading on them and people say theirs pops and there was no pain. Id just go to a walk in clinic and save some money than seeing a personal doc. They seem to just form on some people.

You could do it yourself and youtube it. That nasty crap geta a lot of hits. LOL

I have one, it was swelled up and giving me trouble. Then it mysteriously "self reduced" and hasn't been troublesome for a few years now.
