What about boxing training? 2 things I would like you fellas to comment on: 1. What about restraining someone at work? When would I be able to restrain someone WITHOUT the risk of retearing this? 3 months? 5 months? 6 months? 12 months? I have to return to work FULL DUTY 12 weeks post op. I...

Fellas I'm very nervous. I'm a 28 year old male and on Tuesday October 7, 2008 I'm getting rotator cuff surgery (either arthroscopic or mini-open) on my dominant shoulder (right shoulder) to repair my supraspinatus tendon in which 80-90% of it is torn. My doc is going to complete the tear and...

On Tuesday October 7, 2008 I'm getting surgery to repair a 80-90% torn supraspinatus tendon. My doc did an anterior capsular release surgery on August 5 and said when he was in there he saw that 80-90% of my supraspinatus tendon was torn and peeled back from the footprint (medical term). He...

Re: **update** Read this article: http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/cortisone-shots-1349.html Notice it says "Cortisone is useful in suppressing inflammation in the short term, and in the long term, dissolving scar tissue, stabilizing the body's defenses, speeding the healing...

**update** I should have told you guys this but I left it out (like the idiot that I am). I had my last surgery on April 1, 2008. During that surgery I had my labrum repaired (1 anchor anterior and 4 anchors posterior), I had an interstitial RC tear repaired, scar tissue removed, and my bursa...

I've had a few shoulder surgeries the last couple of years. I still have some discomfort in my shoulder. I got an MRI taken last week and am not scheduled to see my doctor to go over the report until tommorow. I was wondering if any of you guys can explain to me what this MRI report says. Here...

Anyone wanna interpret this MRI report for me?

Can someone please explain this MRI report to me? My doctor went over it with me but I just want to hear what you fellas think: FINDINGS: There has been interval development of interstitial tear with tendon delamination of the posterior fibers of the distal supraspinatus tendon and the anterior...

Anyone?

On December 31 I'm getting surgery for a posterior labrum tear from the 8 to 11 o clock position. My doc and PT have come up with this timeline. I'm going to be 28 years old. People who have had this surgery or know about this kind of surgery tell me what you think: 1) Mon. 12-31-07 get surgery...

I also have a posterior labrum tear from the 8 to 11 o clock position. My doc said it's a coincidence I have both and the torn labrum may or may not be causing the interstitial rotator cuff tears. He said he can repair the labrum but there's nothing he can do to repair the interstitial rotator...

I asked this question on the weightlifting board but didn't know if it would be more appropriate here. I got an MRI taken because of shoulder pain when I do certain motions and it said that I have an interstitial tear of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus at the musculo-tendinous junction. It...

I got an MRI taken because of shoulder pain when I do certain motions and it said that I have an interstitial tear of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus at the musculo-tendinous junction. It said that the tendons are intact and there is no full thickness tear of any of the rotator cuff tendons...

I completely tore my pec tendon bench pressing in March of 2006. In May of 2006 I had surgery. However my doc was only able to reattach 75% of my pec because the other 25% of my pec was too scarred down to reattach. So now when I do heavy flat or incline dumbbell presses I feel a strain in the...
