Hello Dr. Orcutt thank you for your informative videos. I have a total tear of my dominate shoulder. I tore it on March 19th 2024 got my MRI the next day and went to my orthopedic surgeon the following day. I do believe i hurt my shoulder in my 40s, and im now turning 60 in April. I am anxious about Tuesday the 26th but can't live with the pain im in right now. Thanks again for all your informative videos. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

13 weeks Post Op Rotator Cuff repair. Still doing PT twice a week. They say I am way ahead of where most people are at this point but I wish recovery would be quicker. I know I need to be patient and do my PT. I will be glad when I don't have to do PT anymore. I do know I need to keep my shoulders healthy so I won't have to go through this again. Thank you for your videos. They have really helped me to approach healing in a way that put me ahead of the curve!
@TheNewMexicoMan my previous fall caused me to have 15 mths of physio a long slow progress which I thought was healed til I had another fall this time a bit worse resulting in surgery I hoped I didn't have to have as an older person age is against me we'll see how I go when I eventually have surgery.
@@caroldawson3193 I am 68 and although it was painful, I did all my physical therapy and worked hard to restore mobility, strength and flexibility. I am now almost 8 months post surgery. Be patient and do your PT, even when you are feeling like the worst is over.
Thank you for all you do. I'm a CRNA. I'm post op 3 weeks supraspinatus myotendenos junction tear repair. . I do fair amount of epidurals. My question is when can I go back to work?
Hey kiklocus, I feel like we are friends with all the communications we have had back and forth. We love our CRNA's! It is hard to tell, because you have to be ready to do some pretty physical stuff in your line of work.
Been taken 75 Mc Diclofenac { Voltaren} Twice Day, Help Pain and Arthuis for My Right Shoulder That will have Shoulder Replacement in near future seems work no side effects., What Your Option on Diclofenac both short term long term??
In general as a drug, I think diclofenac as well as meloxicam are beneficial if used in the right patient for short term duration. Any med taken long term can have detrimental effects. I always worry about the long term effects of NSAID's prescription or OTC. Make sure you talk with the doc who is prescribing the meds about the potential long term effects.

Hey John. A lot depends on how big a tear it is, how much other damage was done, how good a job the surgeon does, how good of a job you do in protecting it during the recovery, and lastly how well your body does in healing. Good Luck my friend.
Interesting - I take pain killers every day including NSAF and still wake at night in pain after 4 1/2 months. PT with a therapist once a week ($125 a visit for 15 mins) and home routine every day. I still can't lift my arm past waist height. Full thickness tear, bicep repair and bone spur removed. I'm OVER it! 😥
EB, I understand, I would be "over it" too. Sounds like it is time to have a long conversation with your surgeon about what are the next steps. Please consider joining our newsletter.

@@caroldawson3193 Hang in there. As much as we try to avoid surgery, sometimes it's the best course of action to get it fixed.

I was given celebrex and have hypertension my blood pressure at my post op visit was 200/100 and wasn't told that could be the problem.
James, did it go down when you stopped the celebrex?
@@rotatorcuffexpert it has finally gotten down to a normal range
can i bench press heavy weights after the slap repair? for example 150kg? does my shoulder ever be 100% like before the operation?

Interesting info!
