Hey guys I haven't been on here for years a lot has change. This is my 2nd shoulder surgery in 2 years. The first addressed pain in the front of my shoulder with a subacromial decompression and a little repair to my rotator cuff and labrum but the doctor wasn't aggressive enough and didn't realize I had multiple problems. During rehab I injured it again and had a lot more pain in the rear of my shoulder.
The 2nd surgery which I had today was much more aggressive as the doctor went in and fixed anything that looked like it would be causing me pain. On the sheet he lists bicep tenodesis, SLAP Tear, RC tear, and subacromial decompression. I was hoping he wouldn't have to do the tenodesis but I figured as much because the area has been inflamed for so long. I saw the SLAP Tear on the MRI even though he played it down before the surgery aferwards he told my wife he had to address it.
My question is for those who have had these surgeries before and what were the results after physical therapy? Will I be 100% again or close to it? Due to my shoulder problems and plantar faciitis I haven't been able to continuously workout for years so I don't even know where I'm at but I'm excited to get back to lifting early next year. Thanks in advance for your replies
