re: Anyone here had shoulder surgery recently? (torn labrum)

I had this surgery a week ago. My bicep tendon completely ruptured, torn, SLAP multiple tears, cyst in shoulder from previous injury and partial torn rotator cup. Original plan was Bicep Tendonosis procedure, however, after research on long term recovery and gain, decided against it. Once the doc made the incisions and took a look, luckily my bicep tendon had already started scarring in the sheath it was in. He clipped off remaining tendon and made the other repairs. I have been sling free since Friday and am in PT. It probably helps I had my other RC repaired in the past as well as ACL reconstruction a few years ago. 26 years in uniform will break your body up.

I had a surgery where they suspected a torn labrum but weren’t sure. I did not have one but they did some cleaning up and recovery was so much better after than the year I’d spent in PT barely being able to move it. I was 100% within 4-5 months after and it really wasn’t a bad recovery.

Do the surgery. I kept trying to get by and it never improved. It's been a few years since I did mine so things may have changed, but you can expect to have your arm strapped to your body in a sling for like 4-6 weeks and then you'll have limited range of motion for at least a couple more months.
I think I was back to full strength (and maybe even better) within 3 months, but I was doing PT a few times a week and going to the gym. If you just do PT once a week and nothing else, it's going to take a lot longer. Cary Winder did mine and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Right one fixed about 8 years ago. SLAP tear, RC repair, Mumford procedure. It was no walk in the park, but shoulder was good as new once it healed. I’m gonna need to have the other one done (almost certain labrum and AC joint osteolysis, hopefully not rotator cuff too), when I can fit into my schedule. I’m a surgical specialist, not an orthopod though. Not looking forward to surgery and rehab, but it’ll be worth it in the end.
