I had my rotator cuff surgery 3 months ago. Complete tear 4 screws used. Pain was very intense for about 2 1/2 months. Needed pain medication but the only thing I found that help was ICE lots and lots of ice. No sleep averaged about 2 hours exhausted very irritable. Shoulder pain was bad I also suffered from horrible pain in my shoulder blade felt like someone had kicked me very tender to touch ice helped still icing after 3 months. Muscle spasms rear shoulder and upper back area starting to get a little better still there after 3 months.
If you are going to have this surgery asked the surgeon there pain management plan. I did not an regret it. My surgeon Idea was percocet one week after surgery then vicadan. He acted like I was faking the amount of pain I was in. He was a good salemens prior to surgery convince me he was a compassionate person, he was not. He dismissed everything I told him I was going through as if patting your child on his head after falling off there bicycle. Was not taken serously. I had to be a ass to get him to take listen.
I understand this is a long recovery process and I am going to hurt. As of now I have stop taking prescription pain medication I need a clear head for work. I'm still in pain. Good luck to you If your going through this or about to.
I know what you are saying its been 4 1/2 months since my surgery and a second procedure to unlock the back of my shoulder was 3 weeks ago and I feel as bad today as the day after the surgery, my surgeon doesn"t like giving me percocet but i fuss until he gives it to me but now he is giving me tranodol which is about 1/2 the power of percocet going in 6 days for another MRI will let you and sbalch know what they say ramsez
went for my MRI and guess what they found, one of the screws that the doctor had put in came out and migrated up to the top of my shoulder resting on the nerve!!!! The doctor called me in earlier and
