[MsTheexecutioner]

My name is Matt Scano n I am a patient for many yrs under Dr T. Anyone considering Dr Therany I give you my word, you will not find a DR in NY Special Surgery better then this man. Dr T cares about each patient and it is real deep care. He takes his work so serious and even more his reputation. Importance of his reputation not bc of money, because he is like Michael Jordan he wants to be the best of the best..Follow his directions, and you will be fine. Throw the pills away you dont need em

THE BLOCK IS AMAZING!!!!

[novoukrainskiy]

hoe much does a shoulder surgery cost?

[ScreaminIan312]

@novoukrainskiy i guess it probably depends on the severity of the tera or whatever your getting repaired. What did you do?

I have been in misery from the pain of a suspected rotator cuff tear for 3 months. I am on pain meds and going to physio. I had a cortisone shot 2 weeks ago. I am still in excrucitating pain. I am getting an ultrasound this week and seeing a surgeon next week. I hope I don't have to wait too long to get it fixed. I am a musican and play 5 stringed instruments. I can't play any of them now.

had labrum tear, supraspnatus grade 3 tear and acromoplasty a week ago....I did'nt know pain until post op.. lasted 24 hrs....agony

[GindyBrat1954]

@waypom 5 weeks ago rotator cuff supraspunatal re-attach, bicep tenotomy, labral debridement, subacromial decompression, and maniulation under general anasthesia.

Nerve block in neck was totally effective for 10 hours. Followed Dr.'s instructions on use of oxycodone, but that was too little too late. You MUST get the opioids out in front of the pain before the nerve block wears off. I was in severe (9 to 10 of 10) for 3 hours.

Maybe due to extent of work, I've not been able to sleep since.

I had surgery done last week Wednesday. Bone Spur, Rotator Cuff Tear, SLAP Tear

All I can say is OW, OW, and OMG OW!

[overkill54]

I had Bankart repair, and he is right. I was surprised how good I felt the next day. I thought I wasn't going to get out of bed more for a few days, but I was out with my friends, taking it easy of course.

[dharmapaalini]

I also went the chiropractor route for the "slam bam" after 3 months of debilitating post op pain. After one "upper thoracic" adjustment I got off pain pills.  Two more adjustments and not much more happened so stopped. But, I'll never forget the joint setting back into its proper place. I am a PhD in Exercise Science with an RN. Only now I realize, yes, pain is real. And orthopedic surgeons are not much use after they put down the knife.

[MrGingerwarrior2u]

I had my rotor-cuff done in 07 the trick is to keep it a little mobile.10 days or so post op take it out of the sling a few times a day support the weight of it by putting your other hand under your elbow and move it slightly not to extremity's & just till it get painful, this way the scar tissue wont attach where its not ment to & should stop u getting frozen shoulder.. pain is your body's way of telling u not to aggravate a injury..+ get a good sports related physio its worth the extra £s.

[dharmapaalini]

I had shoulder surgery the end of March and had unbelievable arm pain after I started physical therapy 7 weeks postop. I tried all the antinflammatory pills. Three months in I got a steroid injection. But, it wasn't until I went to a recommended chiropractor who slam-bang broke those adhesions that formed post-op that I got relief. Within one visit I was a new person. Pain is real! A limb immobilized for a long time is required for labral repair, but sucks when it comes to pain management.

[conniematias]

I am in more pain now than before surgery..my doctor will not help, wont investigate..told me I was not in pain and if I wanted more drugs to see another dr. I do not want drugs..I want the pain to stop..If you have any suggestions I would appricate it...the pain, at times, is almost more than I can bare..gastic by pass and tummy tuck did not hurt this bad...knee surgery did not hurt this bad...I just want the pain to stop...

[markangeloc]

@conniematias its been 4 weeks since my surgery and I feel, I am in more pain now than before surgery, I hope it gets better. Did yours ever go away?

[GindyBrat1954]

@conniematias Have you tried ice packs on the shoulder. I've had lots of pain, too, and they help at times when ibuprofin and oxycodone don't. Consider it an additional weapon.

[cf80to01]

I had a rotator cuff repair/spur removal done 3 days ago and the heat rash associated with wearing the sling is FAR worse than the pain from my surgery. In fact I am in no pain unless I stress the shoulder in some way. Kudos to my surgeon!!

[mikul515]

@cf80to01 i think i have bone spur on shoulder... can not miss work, what were some of the symptoms of the bone spur??? was there a really sensitive spot when you touched it?or moved it in a certain way? pleasse respond im real concerned about the pain after surgery ,and how long it will last

[cf80to01]

@mikul515 My surgery was for a severly torn tendon, not bone spurs. The surgery in my case was day surgery and I woke up in no pain whatsoever. I would assume that if the bone spur surgery was done with the small incisions as I had, you would have little or no pain, as my Dr said she "cleaned up a couple of spurs" while she was in there. I had more discomfort from the heat rash of the sling than the surgery. Good luck!
