Anyone here had shoulder surgery recently? (torn labrum)

That is a really rough surgery

Are you physically active? In terms of a physically intensive job or exercise?

PT didn’t do anything for my Labrum.

Had a 80% torn labrum and bicep tendinitis and dented humoral head from violent dislocation.

Had surgery and now that shoulder feels way better than other. Recovery was a bitch but worth it in my opinion.

Shoulders are kind of a fricked now or fricked later type deal. You're either gonna suffer through the pain and discomfort, go to rehab, and eventually maybe get back to near 100%. Or, you're going to have surgery and deal with the madness of an immobilized arm for the duration of recovery and then have the rehab work to do. If you're truly unfortunate you'll get to enjoy both options.

Had mine March of this year due to shoulder dislocation and pec tear. Had to wear a big arse bulky sling for a couple months. Was my non-dominate arm so it really wasnt a big deal as far as work goes. Rehab was 2x week for 8 weeks. Still catches every now and then and that arm is weaker than before but I still have good ROM. Its either do it now or do it later type of ordeal. Pain was legit the 1st two days, but subsided to just soreness just after.

ETA. As poster said above, have a comfortable recline to sleep in. I slept in mine for 6 weeks before I was finally able to lay flat in bed

I've had 3 labrum tears.

3 surgeries. There is pretty much no way to 'rehab' the labrum. They are trying to strengthen the muscles around it (rotator cuff and bicep). Any other questions ask away.

I had the surgery about 8 years ago. I tried the PT first and dealt with the issue for about 10 years before I had the surgery. I had several instances of subluxation within those ten years with the last being the worst so I decided to have the surgery. The pain after surgery wasn't bad for me but the recovery and rehab wasn't easy. I haven't had a subluxation since but my shoulder definitely still feels a bit loose. In my case, I didn't feel like it was healed until at least a year afterwards.

Not good...buy a nice recliner.

Had 2 labrum surgeries. The labrum is cartilage so there is really no way to fix it through PT.
I ended up getting my shoulder opened up the first time and the 2nd time they used a scope. The doctor’s recovery timeline is more like an insurance timeline, 4 weeks in a slings, 8 weeks PT. In actuality it took about 6 months to get back to normal and a year to feel normal.
It probably depends on the severity of your tear as some people can recover quicker.
Agree with the above posts, rent a lazy boy, get the ice machine and plan on pain for a week or so.

The surgery really did fix the issue and improved my life. My shoulder would pop out shampooing my hair and driving. I had the anchors pop out about 15 years later after a work accident and the second surgery was a better recovery than the first.

I had that surgery done about a year and a half ago.

I had a torn labrum in my right shoulder, tendinitis in bicep and rotator cuff.

My insurance made me do PT before getting an MRI, which infuriated me at the time. PT did nothing, so I had the MRI, which showed the damage. They also had to shave down my clavicle too.

Dr Chip Bankston did my surgery and he may be my favorite doctor ever. He was fantastic. Explained my options, pros/cons, and made it easy to understand. He even sketched my shoulder on the table to show me exactly where my tears were. I cant recommend him enough.

Surgery was no fun. About 6 weeks of sleeping in a chair and about 30 sessions of PT.

If you do the surgery, get the shoulder water strap that pumps freezing cold water onto your shoulder. That thing was great.

Just had mine done in Febuary, as others stated have a good recliner to sleep in, also they give you a Ice therapy machine to help with healing get it, helps with the pain a ton!
