Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well I may as well have saved my breath. He was running like 20 minutes late... So he wasn't in the slightest bit interested. Gave me my referral to the Surgeon re-hip and had a quick look at the movement in the shoulder, then said yes you mAy have torn the rotator cuff, leave it for a couple of weeks and see if it settles, Hello I have done that for the last 2 weeks. so I am a bit ticked off and I can't be bothered, I will leave it for a few weeks and then go see the shoulder surgeon, when I see the hip guy in May. It may well get better on its own.hoping it does as I am really done with surgeons at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi , That's too bad that he wasn't interested. No excuse for that. Can you raise your arm at all? I wonder what they do for a torn rotator cuff with a replaced shoulder. If it's the same surgery as if normal shoulder. Update on my shoulder; saw surgeon yesterday, no more sling and let's see if I can tolerate the pain and decreased rom. If not then surgery. Well after 5 weeks in sling it's fairly weak and every movement hurts. He said give it a week or so. It looks to me as I'm bound for another surgery.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi , I hate it when doctors give you the brush off like that. Can you call the shoulder surgeon? I understand that he is quite far away. Other than that, I hope it is not constant pain. Sleeping might be tough. Just what you don't need. All the best, Joan ________________________________ From: marywaspe2000 <maryanne.waspe1@...> Joint Replacement Sent: Wed, April 27, 2011 1:42:34 AM Subject: Got No where with GP Well I may as well have saved my breath.
