Going under the knife.

I've put it off too long. I go in for rotator cuff surgery in the morning. I've just kept putting it off and covering it up with AAS. Really dreading being laid up and not lifting. I go nuts if I'm not busy. I like my job so I'm not even looking forward to missing work. They're doing some nerve flush that deadens the arm for 24 hours. That should be strange. Guess I'll do a rehab log! Haha Wish me luck! After the fall comes the rise!
 
Good luck!

Nerve block with your arm dangling is the strangest feeling ever, butt it's great for pain management :)
 
Great story

Any pointers bro? Besides attempting the "Phantom" rub out. Haha

I really want to be back at work by next Thursday. All I have to do is sit at a desk 9 hours so I hope I can at least do that.

Varies person to person and depends on the details of the surgeries but in general I think i was back in the gym around 4 months. My left side is weaker than right side when it comes to benching/incline dumbells but its not that bad. The thing to remember is not to go all the way down on benching from now on after the surgery so you dont torque the cuff. Wish I had known this 20 years ago and would have saved my ass all the cuff wear and tear and saved the surgeries.

Damn four months. Can you do any exercises? Cardio or legs? My legs lag bad. Maybe a good time to let them catch up. This is going to suck!

squatting or deadlifting obviously hell no.
and you'll be plate loading the leg press with 1 arm
 
The last of the surgeries was 10 years ago, no sleeping issues as far as which side i sleep on (and I always sleep on my side). The first two surgeries (one on each shoulder) were from the steady wear and tear over years of heavy lifting with bad form. The 3rd was a repeat because calcification happened in the joint and they had to go back in and clean it out.

A few months aint shit rob, how old are you?

Whatever you do follow the doctors instructions for post surgery rehab exactly. Dont try to speed things up or get in the gym before he says so. Youll be able to do cardio before any weightlifting, as long as you arent using your arms to lift anything, so just go jogging or something, and the movement will be good for your shoulder. You want to get movement and activity in the joint as soon as you can BUT it has to be incremental, remember always follow your doctors timelines for what you can do and what you cant do. Pain will be your guide for a while, if it hurts, dont fucking do it no matter what.
 
For those that had the surgery or those that need it, what's it feel like when you RC goes? What is the early warning signs?
 
My surgery went really well. Typing right handed sucks! My rotator cuff was fine so I guess my first doc was an idiot. He said I had a hole in my RC. My new doc found nothing during surgery yesterday. He did a Subacromial Decompression. Basically, he cleaned my shoulder out.

SD, I'm 39. It's hard sitting around. I guess its even hard on active people like all of us. I bet he told me 50 times after the surgery DO NOT EXCERSICE!

My arm isn't asleep any more so the pain is on! Now I'll just sit back and read all the great, but long, posts on here I said I would read one day when I had more time. Got nothing but time now.

Haha I have threatened my wife more than once I will have a t-,shirt made that says it. It's also a great way to finish an argument.
 
I hope they cut your nuts out and leave your shoulder alone. :)
