Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi Guys, I went to the doctor today and he said that he thinks i should get shoulder surgery due to an impingement on my shoulder. He didn't really go into everything because I just kind of said no, and changed the subject... i guess i just didn't want to hear it. Now that i am not in closed off like i was before.. i was wondering if anyone here has had surgery for a shoulder impingment and/ or knows anything about the surgery that is done for it. Thanks, Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi Jess, I had surgery on my right shoulder in Sept for an impingement. I also had a small rotator cuff tear. The tear wasn't big enough to repair, so he debrided around it. This increases the blood supply to the area and helps it heal. The surgery was not bad at all. I had 3 weeks of PT afterwards. It relieved some of my pain, but i am not pain free from it. I still have times when it hurts all at once, then sort of pops and it gets better after it pops. I think I am just not normal though. I have never had a surgery totally take care of the problem. My left knee is much worse after 2 knee scopes. My shoulder is slightly better, but i still have problems with it.
