I have a torn labrum and no insurance...? I have just recovered from 2 surgerys (1 torn labrum left hip, 1 torn achillis right foot). I am starting to have very sharp pain in my right hip now, the pain is EXACTLY the same as it was in my left hip injury. I have no insurance and literally no money ($75 in the bank). If I goto an emergency room and they do an MRI and find that my right labrum is torn, will they even operate to fix it? Will it have to be a scheduled surgery weeks later? I'm very unclear on how this works with no insurance. When I get the bill if you do not pay it (no way to as of now) what happens? I have heard that it by law cannot go on your credit report or effect your credit score, is this true?

Just had shoulder surgery to repair torn labrum, rotator cuff, and anterior ligament just over two months ago?

Will I be able to stretch the ligament, or will this be a permanent condition? (I see my orthopedist in a week).

Dealing with a torn labrum? Last year I had an MRI and it was determined my labrum was torn on my left shoulder. I had a bout of severe pain which led me to the MRI, but eventually, after some rest, the pain subsided and all but disappeared. Since then, I got started on a fairly intense weight lifting routine that I've been doing for the past 3 months. I have been experiencing minor pains in my shoulder after I workout, most often at night, when if I lay on that shoulder. The pain will go away by the next day. Questions: With such a heavy consistent workout routine, why is it not hurting worse or at least similar to the pain which led me to the MRI in the first place? Is a torn labrum something that I can just handle or deal with without having surgery?

Can physical therapy help avoid surgery for a torn Labrum? I was recently diagnosed with a torn labrum in my shoulder. It is not severe pain day to day, probably a 2-3 out of 10. Currently experiencing geneneral shoulder weakness, and avoiding certain activities. The Dr. was kind of vague on chance of therapy helping avoid surgery. I am in reasonable shape (41 yrs), but I was skipping the gym for about 3 months, then the shoulder starting hurting after an awkward shoulder stretch, backing out of driveway and turning the car wheel. Original injury was skiing a couple of years ago, then this past winter, it hurt again doing push ups. Is is reasonable to expect that stengthening the surrounding muscles will let me "live" with a small cartiledge tear? For hoe long? And, avoid the surgery? An MRI was not done, just and X ray and an exam. He said he was 95% sure it was labrum, and other 5% could be rotator cuff. Should I insist on MRI? Seek 2nd opinion?

What are my options with torn cartilage in my shoulder? During a swimming practice in March 2006, I severly injured my right shouler. Finally, in May of this year, a shoulder specialist suspects I have torn the cartilage in my shoulder (specifically, torn the labrum). He's ordered an MRI and an MRI arthiogram to confirm this, but it's late August, and still no call. Before this diagnosis, doctors told me I had a rotator cuff tear. So I've been through at least 20 physiotherapy sessions with no results, I've been on anti-inflammitroy drugs with no results, on the advice of my doctor, I've taken 3 advils, 2 times a day with no results. My question is, what are ways to fix the torn labrum (surgically and non-surgically)? Also, what are ways to possibly manage the pain I have every day? (Advil has no effect, and I don't react well to Tylenol) And finally, if I surgically repair it, what is the recovery time?

My orthopedic surgeon did a thermal capsular shift to tighten the ligaments surrounding my shoulder joint.

Exactly what and where is the labrum,what is its fnnction.What is a slap tear and how can I rehabilitate.? An MRI showed that I have a slap tear in the labrum and fluid in the acromium of my left shoulder and possibly a partially torn rotator cuff.I stopped lifting weights a few months ago and my symptoms have improved somewhat.IÂ´m not really sure what or exactly where the labrum is,but I want to start to rehabilitate it,as well tendinitis in my elbows and knees,mostly the left where I had arthroscopic surgery to remove most of the meniscus and arthritis and have undergone 4 series of injections to remain active over the past 4 years or so.17 years ago I had a laminectomy and bone spur removal at L5-S1 and have chronic back and neck problems.I also suffer from fibromyalgia,which would make recovery from another surgery more difficult.My main concern right now is understanding and rehabbing my shoulders,I have rotator cuff pain in the right as well,but I would certainly welcome any advice to improve my other conditions.I canÂ´t risk or take the time for surgery,so IÂ´m looking for alternatives

Has anyone had a labrum tear (SLAP) heal on its own? i have seen two drs.. one says the labrum may heal on its own although the chance is slight. The other says the chances of it healing are so low that it really isn't a decision making factor. I'd like to give this some time to try & heal.. but at the same time I want to get this fixed and move on with my life. If I don't fix it now, I will likely wait till next fall. So... has anyone gone the no surgery route & benefited?

What're some good ways to train (cordinate) my left arm? So I have a mild re-occuring torn labrum in my right shoulder, and thats my dominant arm/hand. Now mostly it's ok but if I do a wild arm swing or something it squishes and gives me some pretty bad pain and goes ridiculously sore for a bit. Anyways, I wanna play volleyball for the rest of my life (leisurely) so I'm thinking about just getting used to being left arm'd So what're some things I could do to train my left arm so it can hit well?

With I ever be able to increase the velocity of my fastball? I had surgery for a detached labrum in my shoulder back in October of '06. In December of '05 I could throw a 74 MPH fastball. Now, after I'm all warmed up and everything I can hit 74-75 MPH on the gun, once even touching 76 MPH. I have many different pitches in my "arsenal" and I can throw each for a strike. My dream would be to pitch in college, and the coach said he is looking for players that he can develop. After that surgery, will I be able to add any more velocity to my fastball? Also, if I do work on my own and increase my velocity by 5-6 MPH by working out and long-tossing, should I try-out next year or call it quits? The majority of pitching careers are over after torn/detached labrum surgery, but I love pitching and I hate the fact that I injured myself.

I had a SLAP Labrum Tear Reapaired feb 21st.. I am concerned I over-did-it rehabing last night...? Being 3 months out of surgery and properly been through physical therapy and dischared.. I have stated using very light weights (5-7 pound should shrugs / arm extensions / nothing overhead / my stretching could be better / and use os 13 pound bar for chest press and 2 handed arm raises).. My shoulder is pretty soar today with some accute pain at times, I have a touch of arthrirts in the shoulder so this is to be expected. The surgery was a total success but was 8 years over-due..

I am a basketball player and I dislocated my shoulder. What do I do? I recently partially dislocated my right shoulder (my shooting arm). The labrum is torn in the anterior region. It has come to the point where surgery is the only option. After surgery, I cannot run for 1 month and I cannot shoot for three months. Next year is my senior season and I am a captain on the high school varsity team. Any ideas for what I can do to stay fit and keep up my basketball skills for at least the first three months?

Is this a torn labrum? I injured my left shoulder in football my freshman year in High School. I continued to play on it because it didn't hurt too bad, I thought I had maybe just strained it. But then I hurt it again and this time when I made contact with someone, my entire left arm fell numb. Even after this I continued to play, but my shoulder was always in pain and was doing weird things. I took ibuprofen for the pain, and now when I would angle my shoulder in a certain way, it would feel as if it slides out of place. It shows up as a bulge on the outside edge, where if you normally put pressure, is right below where the bone of the shoulder is in between the arm and shoulder. When it comes back into place it pops really loud. I have since quit football and I am in my Junior year now and it seems my shoulder is getting progressively worse. The continuous pain it normally has giving me over the years is increasing dramatically. What do you think this is?

Is something torn in my shoulder? Popping and pain? Hello all. I am having issues with my right shoulder. Let me give you some background. I dislocated my left shoulder about a year ago and since was diagnosed with a labrum tear in that left shoulder which I am going to have surgery on in a few weeks. I did use my right arm alot initially after the dislocation and around March of this year I made a motion with my right arm and heard a pop. That was followed by pain. (I did not dislocate it, because I know how that feels) Now if I have my right arm against my side and rotate my forearm externally I will sometimes hear a pop but there is no pain associated with it; also in my right shoulder I feel some grinding if I move it a certain way. I would ask my doctor but once I get my left shoulder to 100% i really don't want to through another surgery on my right arm for at least a while. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong if anything? thanks

What can I expect with a "Bankart Repair" surgery? My arm was pulled out of socket and now the surgeons say that I've torn the labrum off the bone.

When, following shoulder arthroscopy, will I have full range of motion? On 9/25/07, I had a bone spur removed, a partially torn labrum repaired and the whole thing was tightened.

glenoid labrum...? What are the odds that I am suffering from a tear in my right glenoid labrum? I recently (July 17th) injured my right shoulder and it was diagnosed as an A/C Sprain and a shoulder contusion but I am slowly regaining my range of motion and am now suffering from pain in the back of my shoulder rather than my A/C joint like i have in the past. I go back in 4 weeks for another re-evaluation of my shoulder and it will be determined there if I should go get an MRI for the tendons. My shoulder is also clicking/popping more than it has in the past. What are you takes on this? It feels a whole lot more stable then it did in the beginning though i still can barely hold/lift objects in that arm without it hurting and i can feel it start to pull down, though i'm not sure if that's from my a/c joint or not. I originally landed on it playing soccer - I am a goalie and it landed underneath me more than it normally does when I dive

I dislocated my shoulder on 5/15/07 it was my second dislocation to the same shoulder.? I last dislocated it on 4/12/06.

labrum tear? I recently went to the ortopedist, and he told me I have a SLAP tear that's going to require surgery. What concerns me, is I'm not in constant pain, and have a pretty good range of motion. But moving my shoulder in certain ways causes pain, and where the labrum is I have a really tender spot, and if I push that area with my finger, it sends a piercing pain through my body and causes nausea. Also when I move my shoulder it clicks and pops. I think I'm just nervous due to me having surgery. Anyone have an idea if my symptoms are really consistent with a SLAP tear, or am I just nervous?

Accupuncture Question...? Actually a couple of questions: 1) What does this actually feel like? Is it painful at all? How much? 2) I have residual pain from a baseball-related shoulder injury from almost 10 years ago. I've still never verified what the damage to the shoulder was, but I believe it was a torn labrum. Is accupuncture effective only on specific types of injury/pain or is it generally effective.

Strengthening my core while managing chronic pain? About 14 months ago, I was injured in a stunt at a football game. Long story short, I've had chronic pain for over a year, and it's very hard to do anything while managing that. I can't ride my horses, get through a basketball game cheering, or hardly even drive anymore. Just today I was on two seperate planes after taking a short break to Myrtle Beach, and between that and a concert I went to last night, my lower back has about had it. And that was finally getting better! I have a torn labrum (the cartilaginous cup that supports the glenoid cavity in the shoulder), and hyper-flexibility in all joints, so I'm having an arthroscopy in February, and hoping for no neurosurgery after that. I feel that if I can strengthen my core, especially my abs and thighs, I will maybe have less back problems. I'm just nervous about how to do this without causing more pain! I know this isn't certified medical help, but anything is appreciated. Thanks, God Bless, and have a safe and Happy New Year! I have severe instability in my right shoulder and arm, due to the torn labrum, as that is partially what I fell on, so using that as a support during exercise really won't do. Also, my pectorals are much stronger than my deltoids and other back muscles, so I needn't strengthen the pecs any more. Using an exercise ball is what I'm thinking may be my happy medium, but I'm not sure how to truly know if I am using it correctly. Any tips with that would also be great. Thanks so much! Also, I really enjoy pilates, and would love to find an instructor, but a) cannot afford it while saving for college and b) live in a very small town and with gas prices, am not close enough to find an instructor or gym =] shirls: thank you very much! i will definitely work on the balancing. i must be very careful with stretching, as extreme flexibility is an issue for me, even if it did save my life. see, when i fell, i landed on my neck, face down, but while my head was in the ground, my legs flipped over my body to the front, and touched the ground in front. i blacked out for less than a second, but getting up i rolled onto that shoulder, and believe thats when the tear took place. ive come to terms, after many doctors urges, that if it weren't for my guardian angels, my neck would have snapped. and my flexibility. so i can't really stretch much anymore, but the balance will be overall great. lately ive noticed that my balance is off, and its hard to stand still for very long. so maybe thats an issue i can resolve. thanks again!

Shoulder surgery recovery? I had shoulder surgery for a torn labrum tendon (was experiencing alot of "catching") In may and did all my PT and was released from that in late november. I wrestled alot during the month of december and now am hearing alot of clicking noise and feeling some increased discomfort. Is this normal and will go away if i back off or did i re injure it in a serious way? also will it ever feel normal like before i injured it and what kind of training can i do to be able to do things like throwing hard or punching.

Wife using Child as a wedge and corrupting his mind. Please Help???? Dear Yahoo Friends, My wife and I seem to have regular fights, but recently she found a few pain meds in my pocket which are used for a torn labrum in my shoulder. It's common practice that she sneeks around my stuff and seems to look for reasons to put me down as a father. My son is not my biological child, I adopted him because in my heart he was my son. He has social disorders, i.e. ADD and some learning disabilities. He is an innocent child just trying to fit in. Last night my wife took him to the side and told him I was a drug addict, and it's unsafe for me to be in the home, we would probably have to sell our home etc. My wife is manipulating a child, this talk should've never taken place. My son is beside himself and talking suicide because of this conversation he had with my wife. I need advice as this isn't the first time this happened, I provide for them as she's quit 5 jobs in the past 7 months. Is it time to leave, or do I stay just for my son? Can anyone give me advice? With such limited space to write the whole situation, I'd like to thank all of your so far for your answers. It's just an extrememly difficult situation, my son who's biological father was never around is only 12. I don't believe he should ever be subjected to these types of conversations. His life is difficult enough. My wife is never wrong, and you can't talk rationally to her, so I tend to avoid arguments. Her insecurities are terrible. She believes my only contribution is money. I bought her a beautiful home, I work 60 hours a week to provide for her and my son. I never miss his after school activities, I spend as much time with him as I can, yet it's still never good enough. I'm the unfit father in her mind. I'm only 33 years old and feel like I can't leave my son. I would do anything for him, and to now have him look at me as a unfit dad, a drug addict and someone who is going to abandon them. No matter what is said to her, even in counceling, it's everyones fault but hers.

What can I expect in a cervical fusion? 1.5 Years ago I was injured in a stunt at a football game where I landed on my neck, face forward, and my body flipped over and touched the ground in front of me. Doctors say I should have been paralyzed or worse, but I somehow survived. Now, at 16 yrs old, I had an arthroscopy in Feb. to repair a torn labrum in my right shoulder, and now have been put in a neck brace until June to be positive that I need a fusion for my unstable 2 & 3 vertebrae, caused by the hyper-extension. I can't ride my horses or cheer anymore, not until this is fixed, and while waiting I'd really like to know what to expect if I for sure need the surgery. I'm also having injections in my 2&3 joints early June to numb them as another diagnostic test. I just want this fixed, but without losing my range of motion that I need when riding. I know my 2 surgeons have the best answers, but how long is typical recovery (will it be different because of my age), and how long until I should be able to ride again thanks for all the answers so far! i really appreciate the input. i just wanted to clarify that i obviously don't expect to get answers specific to me personally, just wanted to know how it has affected others, and part of what I can expect. thanks!

Shoulder instability, numbness in ring and pinky fingers.? I had surgery to repair a torn labrum in March 05 and I was released to play baseball by June. A week later I feel on my shoulder and seperated my AC joint (painfull). Went back to therapy and got better. About 6 months ago I was throwing a football in my backyard and I heard a pop and I felt alot of pain in my right shoulder.. Since then I have been having alot of pain and more numbness in my fingers and I have severe subluxing. I work in the PT department at my local Hospital and they have given me exercises and I have been doing them for 5 months now with no improvement. I had an MRI after the injury, and my ortho so it was fine. He gave me a cortisone injection and it just made my shoulder feel worse. I have made another appointment with another local shoulder specialist to get a second opinion. So do you think I made the right choice being that the ortho I have been going to is one of the best in the tri state. Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong with my shoulder.

Extreme shoulder pain.? I have had 2 surgerys on my right shoulder I tore my Labrum in 3 spots and have 4 suetures (not sure how to spell that) in that holding it back down in place. I had a frayed tendon they attempted to repair and a piece of bone floating around (which was left in). It has been 13 months since my last surgery I never got back full range of motion and I deal with chronic pain. The last 2 days the pain was got so paid it almost unbearable. I am a veteran and I went into the emergency room to get a referral to go and see orthopedics because I know I need another surgery. The emergency room doctor felt my shoulder and told me that I have a 98% chance of having a separated shoulder frayed tendons/liniments and chance or having a re torn my labrum and that I will have to have another surgery. I have been dealing with this for two years now. Am I ever going to live a normal life with full range of motion, and without chronic pain? how long is recovery from a surgery this sever? I'm only 22yrs old

I had arthoscopic shoulder surgery 4 weeks ago and doing some PT,still have some catching noises..? sometimes I hear a catching noise or even a snap noise. I did not have any sewn up things or labrum tears. Just scar tissue removal and some bone removal to reduce impingment. Are these sounds normal and what are they? They dont happen all the time but its just a weird thing. Any info will help

Shoulder Surgery? Do they need to put you out when you get Shoulder Surgery for a Glenoid Labrum Tear?

Shoulder pain? 11/02 I tore my labrum in my rt shoulder since then I have had 3 surgeries the last on was 8/06. I have also had two surgeries for ulner nerve in rt elbow, I am still in extreme pain. I am now expriencing pain in my hand, I take morphine IR and norco for breakthrough, I found out today my Doc wants to put me on methodone. This is freaking me out. I also am having a hard time finding work because of this I really have no use of my rt arm and have applied for SDI but they said no because I have one good arm. I guess what I am looking for is some advice on what to do. I am 35 and sick of being in pain and being broke. Any advice would be helpful...........

shoulder surgery, rehab? Back in October I seperated my shoulder playing soccer (a GK at my university). I loosened the ligaments in my shoulder, tore my labrum (cartiledge), and tore my rotator cuff slightly. I'm scheduled for surgery soon and I'd like to know how long I should expect it to take before I'm back at 100% and doing pull-ups again. The doc said he'll be tightening the ligaments and repairing the cartiledge but will most likely do very little, if anything, to my rotator cuff. I know I'll be doing rehab for a while and that each person is different when it comes to recovery, but how long did it take any of you to recover from a similar surgery?

Thanks for all o the answers. The doc will only be able to do the arthoscopic surgery if my ligaments are completly detached--and we don't think so--so i'tll probably be an open surgery. And I'll be traveling a bit so I'll have 3 physical therapists in a little over 2 months.

Shoulder surgery or wait? I have had severe shoulder pain for about 4 months now, about 2 months ago I went to orthopedics to have it looked at and they gave me a cortisone shot in the joint, It gave me about 95% relief for about a week and a half, and I have been doing the excersises he gave me to strengthen my muscles in the shoulder. I went back today still with the same pain, he said I could either do the surgery or do physical therapy for a while to see if it helps. He said I have shoulder impingement, as well as maybe a tear in the labrum. Should I go ahead with the surgery or do the physical therapy first? Thank you for your opinions.

I was diagnosed with a s.l.a.p. tear in my rotator cuff. I am faced with 2 options, surgery or physical therpy It is a partial tear. SLAP refers to "superior labrum anterior and posterior". The doc says that a combination of physical therapy, pain meds and injections( I am assuming cortical) COULD POSSIBLY heal my injury. But doc said in most cases the patient ends up requiring surgery.
