pfrederi 17,663 #4 Posted October 26, 2018 I also have a partial rotator cuff issue...Dr of course wanted to operate but 8 weeks in a sling (right arm) not for me. Two years ago I ruptured an Achilles tendon and spent 3 months in a boot no driving not going to do that again. My shoulder and i have come to an understanding. i limit what I make it do and it leaves me alone.. Hope you recovery goes well...and quickly. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHNJ701 4,165 #6 Posted October 26, 2018 I tore or partial tore mine about 3 years ago and and watched all the you tube exercise/physical therapy videos. I know more people who regret having that surgery. it clicks sometimes but it seemed to fix it self. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,580 #9 Posted October 26, 2018 stay after your therapy, and follow up, at a rehab gym that specializes with that type of work, after having knees done , regular weekly work has much improved the way I was . pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marv 919 #13 Posted October 26, 2018 Y'all are making me hurt all over again. Been there done that with the Achilles tendon thing , 1978 I think it was.. That leg is still weaker than the other one even after all these years. Mind the boss you will be fine. Marv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry77 1,218 #14 Posted October 27, 2018 I've put up with torn rotator right shoulder for 30 years - didn't want any part of the surgery for that...I do most things left handed now after a lot of practice..I feel your pain - do the exercises for a quick recovery and hope it isn't too painful....

Tractorhead 9,064 #16 Posted October 27, 2018 Depending on, how hard your pain is, operate is maybe not the worsest idea. My Wife has same on both shoulders and after pain and mismovement was too much, we decided to let operate. the age, the age... Hehehe after 3 weeks with additional physics theraphie she is now back in business without any pain. january will be made other side Keep Head up, and best wishes to quick health back again.
