Things are progressing normally. Still a bit stiff and painful in mornings particularly. ROM is getting back to normal, a bit tight with internal rotation and arm behind the back, and a lateral raise...

All going to plan. Not the most fun journey, but it's certainly progressive, and this being the second shoulder I've had done makes things a little more familiar.

Things are still a bit sore...

Brief history: I tore my left rotator cuff (supraspinatus, large tear, delaminated, retracted etc) back in 2019 and had it successfully repaired. I went through the ups and downs of recovery until at...

Hi tkdnj, I did get a message from you (thanks) which I replied to, though I can't see any evidence of my reply being successful when I look in the sent items folder (which remains empty).

I'm...

Hi tkdnj,

Thanks for such encouraging words. I really appreciate them. I just tried to PM you but I don't seem to have permission, or perhaps the feature doesn't work... Bugger.

Hi TKDNJ,

That's great to hear, well done and here's to keeping getting strong. I'm at the 11 month mark now.

I've not had a very good last 7 weeks really, since I had that setback at 9.5...

Hi TKDNJ,

Thanks for reporting back - hope your shoulder is coming along too. I desparately hope mine is a temporary setback and that i can learn from how down I feel at the moment in the months...

Glad to hear TKDNJ, interesting that the surgeon popped out the ultrasound there and then. Mine hasn't done that [not sure I want him to do so either, imagine seeing the repair not looking so good!]....

9.5 months for me now and all mostly going well... I have been paddling 5-6x per week plus cross training sessions without any residual effect. Paddling quite strongly, starting to feel strong,...

Well, now 8.5 months, goodness me but time flies. TKDNJ I hear you on the 8 month thing. I definitely noticed a difference, even comparing where I was at 7 months vs 8 months. Things felt better more...

I have had dry needling done a couple of times over the past fortnight, which may have helped a bit. I also substituted resistance bands for some weight exercises, which for now have me feeling a bit...

Thanks tkdnj. Hope your spirits are good at 3 months.

It's nice to know this is "normal" for shoulders. It certainly is up and down. I've had a reasonably good week this week - feeling almost...

Thanks Tapian, this is useful to hear. Appreciate it.

Hello all

TKDNJ, thanks for keeping this thread going for so long and I'm seriously sorry to hear you're having to go through this again. That'd stress the )_#(*$ out of me!

I also created an...
