Shoulder Surgery ! How Long Till Recovery ?

[WannaBeHuge]

Hey bro, I tored my labrum and I had surgery I was down for about 3 months. this was in 98, now my shoulder is just as strong as the other one, but here is the shitty part of it, when I flex, it is smaller than the other shoulder.....fucking sucks I want to compete but I think that it would screwed up my results.

Good luck and do the re-hab it'll help!!!!!!!

You're much better off waiting until the doc says okay or you'll mess it up all over again. Don't be impatient and go through a good rehab process and you'll be back at it before you know it. If you rush it you could screw yourself for much longer than you would have if you did it right.

i had shoulder surgery in april of last year

I had my shoulder done in april of last year.. i have been putting off the surgery forever too... You should just go a do it and get it over with... Make sure you get the best doctor you can.. I had my done by the NY Jets doctor and my shoulder is mint right now.. As far as rehab... YES you will be out of commission for a while.. at least 6 months before you can go 100% with your shoulder... Make sure you do your therapy too.. don't slack off because you need to build the strength up again because your arm will be very weak after the surgery...Don't worry about that right now the time will go bye and your shoulder will be great afterwards... Good Luck

I had shoulder surgery last January. Tore the cartilage that lies in the joint and had a minor tear in my rotator. Doctor said it would be 4 months before I could get back to lifting, but it was more like 6 months. I can't do flys anymore because of the risk are retearing the cartilage in the joint.

Bro first off it depends on the degree of what your having done.... are your having your rotor cuff repaired ???? I had my major pectoral tendon ripped out of my shoulder...(if I spelled it right ?) Anyway it is what basically holds or joins your chest into your shoulder...PAIN is not the word to describe what it felt like for the next year !!!! Now I'm back up to benching 350lb but I can tell the difference believe me !!!! I had a special surgeon flown in to perform the operation...now I have a 6" scar from 18 staples and it's about 1" wide across my shoulder...looked like something from a movie when I first got them taken out ?? I was out of lifting for a year !!!!! 5 months in a body sling 7 months of therapy !!!
Bro listen to me on this, do what ever the doctor says and go to therapy after. Getting back on the weights to fast can cause all sorts of problems down the road.

If you need any good advise on exercises to do to strengthen the rotor and surrounding area e-mail me I know a few of them that work great !!! Good luck bro...
