Anyone have labrum surgery by "thermal capsular shift" and still have problems? I tore my labrum playing softball 3 years ago, and had surgery on it November 05. My orthopedic surgeon did a thermal capsular shift to tighten the ligaments surrounding my shoulder joint. About 2 months later my should became "loose" again, and I have had problems ever since, and it feels like it did before I had surgery. Has anyone gotten the similar surgery and relapsed? If so did you get it fixed again? (hopefully Dennis R answers this question...)

I'm having shoulder surgery to repair a labrum tear. What type of bra or tube top can be wore with the sling? I've been told to wear extra large button down shirts but not what to wear underneath since I'll have the sling for 6 weeks and need PT for about 3-4 months. I will need something that not only will be easy to put on but also stretches. I'm fairly large chested so going braless isn't a choice, not to mention flashing everyone at therapy.

Torn Labrum surgery? I was diagnosed a few months ago with a torn labrum. I have since started my career and was just curious as to how long the surgery and recovery take.

Labrum repair surgery, recovery time? What to expect.? I've dislocated my shoulder 20+ times in the past year, having surgery July 3. I've done all my research and talked to the surgeon, just wondering what people's experience has been with the recovery process. How long in the sling? What kind of movement is allowed in the sling? How long is rehab? Is it hard to shower, change in the morning with the sling? Are you bed ridden or can you live a somewhat normal life. I will be very bored during the recovery, what did you do to pass the time? I know these seem like dumb questions but any help would be appreciated. I have always been active and want the surgery, i just don't look forward to it.

Just had shoulder surgery to repair torn labrum, rotator cuff, and anterior ligament just over two months ago? When I move my arm, the repaired ligament snags on what is either scar tissue or the bone itself, causing it to snap back and forth. There is some soreness associated with this. Will I be able to stretch the ligament, or will this be a permanent condition? (I see my orthopedist in a week).

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?

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.

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

Open shoulder surgery vs. closed shoulder surgery.? Alright, so I had arthroscopic shoulder surgery to repair a labrum/slap tear.. turns out something went wrong in the surgery.. and now the tear has like doubled/tripled the size. They want to start out as another arthroscopic surgery, and if it can't be repaired, then they want to go completely open. For me this sucks, because it will be my 2nd shoulder surgery in 7 months.. but my question is.. can an Open shoulder surgery still be done in an out-patient surgical place? Or does it have to be doen in a hospital? If anyone can shed some light on this, and anything else about open shoulder surgery, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

will i need surgery on my shoulder? I went to see a physiotherapist today and she said she believes I have a labrum tear which may need surgery. she will treat me for another couple of weeks before referring me. I have had shoulder pain for 18 months, I've had a cortisone injection. apparantly my scapula and my rotator cuff are week and my muscles are functioning in the wrong way. My shoulder blade is sort of pulling away from my spine. i have a bigger gap between my shoulder and my spine on my bad side, and i'm putting pressure on the lower muscles. She did a test which involved twisting the wrist and pushing up and it was agony. the rest weren't so bad. How likely is it that she is right and i may need surgery?

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?

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 may even need another surgery and maybe a shoulder replacement. The Dr's insurance company is ready to settle but I need to come with some numbers first. Thanks for the help!

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?

shoulder surgery arthroscopy?? I am preparing for shoulder surgery arthroscopy and i am worried about pain and just pretty anxious about the whole thing in general.

surgery recovery? 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.

Should I have shoulder and knee surgery now, or wait until later? I have a torn labrum in my left shoulder and torn cartilage in left knee. The doctor thinks that I may have to have surgery to repair both. The knee surgery is not that invasive and amounts to arthroscopic surgery. The recovery time is about 2-3 weeks he said, depending on the severity. The shoulder surgery is worse. He says that I would be in a sling for 9 weeks and then have about 6 months of rehab. I am on a diet right now and am doing really well. I have lost a bunch of weight and am getting stronger, even with the knee and shoulder. My knee hurts when I workout or am active on that knee. My shoulder hurts most of the time. I was just wondering if I should risk the results I ahve gotten with my diet and give next summer another shot, or wait until maybe September to have the surgeries?

Shoulder surgery . . . . . . . . .or not????? So i am a huge sports player, i am really athletic, and now i am injured!!!!!!! I recently had an MRI that revealed a tear in my Labrum, excess fluid in my AC joint, and tendinopathy(whatever that is) in my rotater cuff. The dr. i am going to in redwood city, ca. . . . . Michael Dillingham, thinks i need surgery. I am a huge softball player. . . . and play a key role as a player and as the captain on my high school team. Should i have the surgery????? and if i do. . . . . how long would it take to make a recovery to where i can play to my full ability?????? All answers are appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

Superior anterior labral tear with para labral cyst. What is this? Should I get surgery? I just had an MRI and it showed a tear involving the superior anterior labrum which extends inferiorly. Not sure what that means. Also showed a multilobulated para labral measuring 1.8 x 1.3 cm. I think that means cyst. The doctor gave me a cortizone shot and I see him in a week. He mentioned that surgery might be an option, but said to really think about it because I would be in a sling for about 6 weeks and it would take 4-6 months for full recovery. Is it worth the surgery? My last Ortho had me to go physical therapy and when that didn't help, I went to a different Ortho and he ordered an MRI. Shouldn't I have had the MRI first? Doesn't make any sense. Did physical therapy make the tear worse or not? All I know is that I had the shot 3 days ago and my shoulder still hurts. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Shoulder surgery? I had shoulder surgery July 18, 2007 after dislocating my shoulder twice the initial was force trauma doing self defense tactics, after 8 months physical therapy went back to training and dislocated again while going thru monkey bars. Had surgery did my therapy and have been back to weight training although not that heavy I can do pull ups but it feels a little strange when I fully extend and am scared of a repeat dislocation. The Dr. said it is stable but I just feel like it will happen again. I need to be sure as my work requires full strength and am due to return to training. Anyone have thoughts, had surgery, suggestions? By the way my surgery was to repair a torn labrum. Also I occasionally have some discomfort when lifting weights but was told I might have some forever and as long as its not that bad its ok. Thanks for any input. I work in law enforcement and am due to return to training soon but I am becoming hesitant.

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?

Help, whats ur opion on medical law suits? I had surgery on my elbow, 7 months ago, have had bad pain in shoulder since, I was told I have a frozen shoulder, rotator cuff or bicept tendonitis. My elbow is still at a 45 degree angle, pt cant help due to shoulder. Was given MRI last week, Now have been told I have a complete rotator cuff tendon tear, bone edema, and injury to anterior superior glenoid labra. It happened during surgery, I havn't used r arm for 7 months. Elbow was WC, who is responible for elbow, who pays the bill. WC denies shoulder. I really like the Orth Surgeon that did the surgery, and the hospital. I know it wasn't intentional, and I dont want hard fillings. I need surgery on shoulder, Comp wants to settle, but elbow won't straighten until shoulder is taken care of. I have an attn but still don't have any answers. I've never been one to sue or take advantage of anyone. I just want med bills paid, pain to stop, use of arm, and 2 get back 2 work.

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.

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. I suffered a torn labrum with the first one but didnt have surgery just physical therapy. The second one occured while training at a law enforcement academy and its been a few weeks since it happened and my shoulder feels fine im having surgery on june 20 and am wondering what the chance of full recovery to where it never happens again is and what the recovery time is. also is there a particular procedure that is better than others?

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

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

If my shoulder pops in the 2nd week of physical therapy, will I need surgey again? I had torn my labrum as well and after the 4th week I had started doing some therapy on my own. If it pops here and there when I do a certain movement, then does that mean I will have to undergo surgery again. If yes, then how soon will it have to be?
