I hope you are doing well and recovering well. I need to have rotators fixed and maybe a knee replaced but Winter will soon be upon us and I am not going to have something that drastic with winter approaching! So you can rest assured I will ask for prayers when I have my surgery!

God Bless everyone on this site that has had surgery or will be having surgery!

I've never heard of a nerve block wearing off that quickly. That must be truly awful. I have had 4 labrum tears and I'm now on my 5th and I'm only 35. They will be doing a labral repair with a biceps tendonesis, so that tendon of the long head of the bicep no longer pulls on the labrum during concentric movement .

Good luck with your physical therapy. Hopefully it goes by quick and everything turns out great. Ill say a prayer for ya!

Well I had surgery at 0700 9/24 and had no pain for 5 hours. That is how long the nerve block lasted.
Almost fell asleep but my arm and shoulder have different ideas, they decided that there is no place that they are going to peaceful.
Rotator had a full tear on top and the bicep was torn up near my arm pit, both were fixed, I hope.
The sling is the most uncomfortable one I have ever worn, it is like it is too big and it slides around because these Velcro fasteners don't pull tight enough.
OK that is enough. It is late and I am just killing time while I have cool drink and a few drags of my cigar while everyone else sleeps.
Only a few more weeks of this and then 6-7 months of therapy. I'm too old for this shit.

had the same thing last year rotator, bicep and tendon rehab was well worth the money now i have full use of my left arm
