(Not kidding). When I had my second eye surgery, worst thing ever! They can sedate you but they can't put you asleep. So, you're awake while they put a needle in your eye to try to reattach the Retina.. I don't wish it on anyone but bombers and child molesters

That's horrible. The only thing I ask, is however I may die, I do not want it to involve my eyes in anyway.

I think a flaming arrow through the eye may be my biggest phobia.

Has anyone here ever had rotator cuff surgery? What was your recovery time and was it worth it?

When I had ACL surgery my mother told the doctor she wanted him to give me minimal pain medicine. (she doesn't like drugs) To this day, I don't place any blame on her, but that was one painful recovery, I can tell you.

Been there done that. Had a rotator cuff tear, labium tear, and bone spur so had the sx to fix it. Then about a 9 mths later scar tissue build up so had to get it scraped out.

Is it worth it? depends. To get rid of the hurt, yes. Is it worth it with what you have to go thru? errr, not gonna say no but you better really want it or need it.

To get back to full mode usually takes a year. I still cant throw a baseball or football nearly as far or as fast as before but there's no hurt when I do it. If I had done extensive PT like an athlete them I might be able to do it as well as before.

Alot of pain with recovery. Alot of PT just to get the range of motion again. You spend quite a long time sleeping in a chair or on your back. You cant sleep on your side that had the sx for awhile.

Here's your TMI about it. My was my right shoulder and being right handed was difficult anyway but the worse was after the surgery and I went to the bathroom for a #2. It dawned on my not only cannot I wipe but I dont know how to wipe with my left hand. I had to approach her and say "honey, I'm sorry to ask you this and God knows I dont want to but I need help". Very humiliating. It was also a few months before I could button my pants .

My advice is to try to do everything you can and make the sx the very last option.

That sounds absolutely terrifying and I hope that it is behind you and you don't have to worry about it anymore.

It is a little funny that you had to preface that comment with a (not kidding) though!

Sorry! Eye really am laughing with you lol

I may go through it again, I was already supposed to, but I don't trust the surgeon that I had.. He told me after it was done.. "We did to much at one time" and it caused more scare tissue damage.. And you can only have so many surgery's on an eye

Thanks, been doing PT and it's helped. I'll screw up every now and then, pick up a ball and throw it for dogs then it's weeks of pain.

The Braves will not be calling me up anytime soon so I think I'm going to try and stick it out.

I had both shoulders done at the same time. One nerve block only worked for six hours the other they went too far. Also dr sai I woke up during surgery while doing the first one and choked the guy standing over me and it took all of them to hold me down good thing I don't remember it. Shoulder was wide open at the time.
