On January 25th I was involved in a motorcycle accident that left me with a labral tear in my right shoulder. It's not healing on it's own and my orthopedic doctor said it won't heal on its own. He recommends minimally invasive surgery to pretty much nail my labrum back to my bone or something.
He said that I will be in a sling and not able to use my right arm at ALL for 4 weeks, and then after it will take 3 months of physical therapy.
My shoulder will be okay for a little while but it takes next to nothing to make it act up. For example one of my friends fell onto me, with hardly any force, and it literally made a RIPPING sensation and popped around in there, I could barely even feel my hand and couldn't grip **** afterward. Had to sling my arm for a good 5-6 hours.
Here are my questions:
1. How will I keep my gains/weight up while I am not able to workout?
2. Will I ever be able to have my full ROM back ever again? For example my left arm - I can almost touch the back of my neck with it by crawling it up my back. My right arm only gets a little bit past about half way up my back.
3. Will I ever be able to bench, shoulder press, etc ever again?
Thanks for the help guys. If anyone has had a labral tear please give your input and experience.
