Just wanted to take the time to say thank you for your help...I'll keep in touch...I'm going through the videos, I was injured at work, Supraspinatus full-thickness tear 3.6 in transverse dimension. Partial tear of Infraspinatus, bicep tendinosis, Posterior superior labral tear...I've been recommended to an orthopedic office, should be hearing this week...Blessings my friend and again, thankyou...JA
Tony, first of all thank you so much for what you are doing! Secondly, where the heck do I find someone like you near Columbus, Ohio? Finding a surgent was fairly straight forward - there are real human beings with reviews from patients. Finding a PT is a completely different story! There are clinics with sometimes hundreds of PTs, obviously not all of them are equally good. I got the guy who would not fit my description of great therapist - works on multiple people at the same time managing to flirt with female therapist at the same time....
I have the option of the suturing of the Supraspinatus, and the tear in the Labrum. But, then the option is to have total Shoulder replacement. I'm guessing this takes care of the Labral tear, but the Supraspinatus is still needing to be sutured. My question is regarding the recovery. Is it basically the same for Total Shoulder Replacement?
Tony, thank you so much for posting these greatly informative videos! Where are you located? I will have my rotator cuff repair surgery in December and am looking for a physical therapist specializing in this type of restorative treatment. I am in PA, outside Philadelphia area.
Hi Sonia, I am in Ohio, but if you go to this link it has a list of PTs and OTs who might be able to help in the Philly area. www.medicarehometherapy.com/search_results?location_value=Philadelphia%2C%20PA&city=Philadelphia&county_sn=Philadelphia%20County&adm_lvl_1_sn=PA&stateSearchLN=Pennsylvania&country_sn=US&location_type=locality&stateSearch=PA&swlat=39.8670041&nelat=40.1379919&swlng=-75.2802937&nelng=-74.9557629&lat=39.9525839&lng=-75.1652215&faddress=Philadelphia%2C%20PA%2C%20USA&place_id=ChIJ60u11Ni3xokRwVg-jNgU9Yk
Would you know straight away if you’d re injured the shoulder during the first 6 weeks. It’s so hard to understand what is normal pulling and tugging during recovery and what isn’t
I am 5 Days post bisep tenodesis and labrum repair when I get up from bed sometimes I hear and feel pop in my shoulder is it normal ? And when we start desk work like studying?
