Obviously not me. But i remember trying to dig around and find examples of those who had and I am pretty sure there was very little evidence of that. It was about 13 months for me between diagnosis...

Dont regret the surgery. At this stage 6 months post op is still early days in some ways. Look at my posts 6 and 7 months in. I started to see improvements at 8 months. Look at my posts. Eventually I...

Hi all,

Im stopping by just to report my DCO surgery, a few years ago, on my left shoulder, was a roaring success. I forget I ever had it done. My shoulder is 100% and has been for a long time. I...

Goldengoal - I dont know the answers to your questions. I think you should see an orthopedic and ask them.

This guy here has an awesome guide on recovering from DCO without surgery...

Update - post all my scans showing nothing, my left shoulder pain now is completely gone. How bizarre. I thought I was in for another saga like with my right shoulder. Must have been some minor neck...

@goldengoal. I recommend the surgery. Well if your DCO was similar to mine anyways. I had an exceptionally long recovery but totally sorted out eventually. The orthopedic said it would not heal on...

Ok I have a rather puzzling situation going on now.

I went to see the orthopedic today. He said none of the scans show any problems at all with my left shoulder. So thats an ultrasound, an X-Ray...

So the doctor referred me for a second attempt at an MRI for my left shoulder. I managed to do it this time. BY the way for people with claustrophobia I definitely recommend going for a wide bore MRI...

Well I have had some interesting developments with my left shoulder.

I have been unsure as to whether it is DCO like I had in my right shoulder. But many of the symptoms seem similar.

However...

NMK2 - I do mean towards the top of the tricep, or that region. Although when I work out triceps it doesnt really hurt so I am not sure it is actually the tricep. My pain description is vague because...

Well there is definitely something going on with my left arm now. So not happy about it.

The symptoms emerge in the same way that DCO did except the pain region feels different.

I only get...

MTLCruisin - I am pretty sure it is not DCO, quite a different feeling. It hurts in that area between the shoulder and the tricep, more towards the tricep. It might be the upper tricep itself. Its...

Actually I am thinking it is not DCO thank god. The pain is not focussed on the distal clavicle area. Its quite a different kind of pain but still one activated when doing chest workouts. It feels...

****! Im starting to worry that my left shoulder might have DCO now! My operated shoulder feels heaps better than the other one now. I have noticed quite a few people get it in both shoulders. Maybe...

MtlCruisin- At 5m I only felt pain doing chest workouts. But, I didnt do frontal raises either, not part of my regime.

Now my operated shoulder feels great. So it just took time.

mtlcruisin - I dont think I was able to properly do chest until about 8m post surgery but I am definitely fine now. Look at my past posts. I think I dabbled at about 5 months and it still hurt so I...

mtlcruisin - my surgery was actually fairly basic. I just had a distal clavicle resection. Everything else was fine. It was also arthroscopic. I did seem to take a long time to heal though. But one...

mtlcruisin - yep I was definitely not bench pressing after 3 months. Cant remember how long it was, maybe not for something like 8 months. But I certainly am now. I seem to have been one of the...

Sounds like your making good progress.

I slept with the sling on for the first couple of weeks. I also stacked pillows along the side of the operated arm to stop me rolling onto it.

Funny your...

Hey Nm2k no I didnt have any weird experience with my clavicle moving up or down or sticking out. I really didnt notice anything like that at all. All I noticed before surgery was pain in my...
