I had surgery a day ago and the next day I took off sling and felt good by my side . Just hanging ar sude. Then moved it from hip to other hip low and I felt it pop . Like the old tyoe I would get. Not sure if I tore it the bext day. Waiting for dr to get back.

I had rotator cuff arthroscopic about a month ago, is it possible for you to retear or damage the stitches by over stretching it?

That's a great question I had rotator cuff surgery in January and it has just retire 3 days ago...when I have revision surgery I am not doing PT for the most 4 week I don't want anyone f'ing touching my shoulder for a good bit just let it heal...

I’m 50 years old.
I’ve had an arthroscopy surgery for labrum tear repair in my right shoulder back in 2012.
In 6 weeks, after 11 years I’ll be having a 2nd surgery, same shoulder to repair a supraspinatus partial tear (14mm AP X 10mm long)
I’m concerned and scared that I will losing considerable range of movement or even worse it can re-tear in the long term.

What was the result of your pain and not being able to lift your arm? Did you have surgery again? I had surgery Jan 2024 and it just retire 3 days ago

Hello,
I had rotator repair 10 weeks ago. On a work trip I played a round of golf. Tried not to swing to hard. After a few long drives I felt a few pains in the shoulder. Nothing too sharp or pops. Woke up next day with unbearable pain, cracking, clicking. It’s been 4 days. Pain subsiding a little but definitely still there. Do you think I retore my rotator cuff?

[@eliteacademyofmartialartsj6982]

Did you retear it? if so did you have revision surgery? How are you doing now?

[@RobW-bw5xg]

I don’t think so. Went back for check up month later and said just aggravated it. Good luck

[@stevencraigbryan3770]

I have a retear, so is the best Dr to fix it?

[@damaoyu7729]

[@julieoliver8170]
