Anyone had a Torn Labrum?

[brett05]

Dr recommended me to hit up an Orthopedics Dr. Suspects I have torn my labrum. Anyone been thru it that wants to share his experience?

I have not.... my brother inlaw who is a fireman has torn his twice now.

Needed surgery twice.... was out of commission for like 4-6 months each time.

It happened right in succession too.... was like injured, removed from work, had surgery, did recovery and PT, finally got cleared to go back to work.... within 2 weeks tore it again working in an ambulance.

Was weird too cause you gotta be careful with it even after you're out of the gear.... so like he would ask for me to come over to help move stuff or pickup tables/chairs from places for events at their house.... here is this big fit fireman just watching while I load/move heavy stuff.... we always joked about how that musta looked to an observer lol.

Don't be like Kyle Long and avoid the surgery if the doctor recommends it.

It sucks, but if you get good care and rehab the shit out of it motion and strength will return. It wasn't fun, painless, or easy but it was doable.

But if you put it off you will just turn into a shit right guard, because no strength in shoulder, which you need in order to stop defensive linemen and linebackers and stuff.

I am suspicious of this "Dr. Suspects."

Last year, partial tears in my labrum, rotator, and bicep. Scar tissue is the enemy. 25 years of boxing and even long duration of compulsive jerking off finally broke me down.

I'm back to 100%, with no surgery and no standard PT. Cost me a shit-of money, but the solution was worthwhile for me:

How did you tear it is probably the first question I would ask because it is kind of a specific injury and I am sure you would love the chance to tell the story but are probably waiting for the question to be posited to you rather than just have It out there in the original post of the thread you just made.

It's "Nurse Guilty" that I'm more worried about.

I can't even lift my arm over my head or hold my wife and kids. I'll do whatever the doctor wants.

What an outstanding question. No idea.

I hurt mine once (not as bad as yours I'm sure) throwing small propane tanks over a snow bank. It took about 18 months to fully heal. It still kinda bothers me if I sleep oddly on it.

 

[brett05]

Sleep is no left side (it's my left arm). I cannot sit on a chair and place a cup that is on a table right next to me without 7-10 level pain.
Dozens of times a day I feel like my bicep is rolling over my humerus.

If I could only get 50% improvement I'd take it.

The little things in life have just gotten greater importance.

You gonna need surgery to repair it.... should do it before end of year so you can take advantage of any OOP Max money you've already put in.

Unless your health insurance is better for the surgery next year...

Whatever the specialist thinks, I will do. I ain't gonna wait or complain.

I get it that it will be hard and perhaps more pain initially when it's all done. I'd be happy to be back to work typing with one hand in two weeks time

Have you ever had surgery before?

Idk your situation nor insurance, but that minor af 45 min outpatient surgery I had on my finger, cost in the neighborhood of 30k total.

I was like 2200 from my OOP Max, so I was on the hook for 2200 and the insurance had to pay the remainder.

Make sure if you are doing surgery the doc gives you the diagnosis codes and you call your insurance to clear the surgery and get an idea of how much you will be on the hook for.

It is ridiculous how much surgery costs in the U.S.

It could be just an age related thing as well. The older you get, the easier the body breaks down.

No doubt about it. But at this rate, they can come take the arm come V-Day

Honestly if they tell me it's cancer I'd be ok with that too. At least I would know.

Those are symptoms (I know first-hand) of a pinched nerve.

Pain starts in the socket and radiates to the bicep.

Also have pain in the thumb just above the wrist that radiates to my elbow

Orthopedics is the work of the devil! Should probably seek out a faith healer.
