About To Have This Surgery
QUOTE=MBSIMPSO OK I AM ABOUT TO HAVE THIS SURGERY ON THURSDAY!
IM NOT GOING TO BORE ANYONE WITH HOW THIS CONDITION CAME ABOUT, BUT I AM 30 YRS OLD AND DYING TO GET BACK INTO LIFTING.
MY DOC HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE SLING CAN COME OFF IN ABOUT A FEW DAYS AND THAT I CAN RESUME " NORMAL " ACTIVITY AFTER A WEEK OR SO?
BASED OFF OF WHAT IM SEEING NOW ON THIS BLOG, I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE I CAN BEGIN LIFTING AGAIN AFTER THE SURGERY?
HOW LONG AFTER THE SURGERY WILL IT TAKE FOR THE PAIN TO SUBSIDE?
WILL I CERTAINLY REQUIRE PHYSICAL THERAPY? DOC SAYS ONLY IF HE FINDS ANOTHER CONDITION THAT IS RELATED TO OSTEOLYSIS?
ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY SO THAT THIS ANNOYING PAIN IS GONE AND I CAN RESUME MY LIFE AGAIN!
THX
QUOTE=grebnehtor;42152111]Well guys, I haven't found any concrete evidence on the internet that this surgery works well, but I decided to take one for the team, and go through with this surgery. My problem was this: [url]http://shoulderpaininfo.com/shoulderACOsteolysis.html[/url] . This thread is dedicated to documenting my recovery weekly/ daily, or whenever I feel like typing and spilling my guts. It would be really helpful for people to post on this thread to know that someone out there is listening!
A little bit about me - I am a 20 year old, weight lifter/ water polo player who enjoys going out and just working out. I am heavy on the bench press, and this is probably what caused my injury. Also, I love butterfly, so I am sure that didn't help at all.
Surgery occurred on the 10th, and the doctor removed the bandages on the 11th. The surgery was arthroscopic, and went smoothly. I have never had surgery before, and already can note a "watery" feeling between my humeral head and the glenoid. I suppose this is from the extra arthroscopic solution and I know that ligaments around my shoulder were stretched because of the surgery. It's extremely painfully to use my shoulder to move my arm at this point, but I am chugging along. As far as the doctor saw, my shoulder was healthy, just my AC joint was injured. The bump that used to be present on the AC joint is almost totally nonexistent, whereas before it was larger and caused painful popping noises.[/QUOTE]
