Dave Bryce Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Some of y'all may know that I had to have my right shoulder repaired last June. Bicep tendon damage and torn labrum from (among other things) too many years moving heavy speakers around. Surgery went really well, recovery took a while but my right arm is stronger than it's been in years. I've known for a little while that the left shoulder was damaged as well, and that there was an excellent possibility that I would end up needing to have it fixed. I actually screwed it up some by leaning on it too heavily while my right shoulder was incapacitated. Anyway, the left one is getting fixed up on Friday. Hopefully this one will go as smoothly as last year. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markyboard Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Shoulders are two things I haven't had problems with. But I imagine that can be very painful and debilitating if not taken care of.

SamuelBLupowitz Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Glad to know the last surgery went so well; here's hoping it's smooth the second time around. If not, I hear great advances have been made in the field of bionic limbs. Could spice up your left hand technique. Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado.

nursers Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 One would assume that you're asking for a third arm at the same time to enhance your playing even further ??

re Pete Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Good luck with the surgery. I had labrum surgery years ago and maybe tore something there again. Get pain sometimes but have been living with it. Due to my age, wondering if worth fixing. One result of it is, if wearing a tee shirt the neck part of shirt droops toward that shoulder.

Dave Bryce Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 It's actually more than a bit of a relief to have already done the same procedure on the other shoulder. Nice to know what to expect, and to already have the people and tools in place to rehab. An unexpected add-on this time that wasn't there last year - I got to get tested for COVID yesterday, and am now quarantined until the surgery. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sports doctor/orthopedic surgeon that I saw diagnosed impingement/subluxation, but only prescribed physical therapy not surgery. I've had repeat dislocations, but am lucky to have avoided bursitis - at least as described by the Mayo Clinic site. I try to avoid another dislocation by strengthening my shoulder external rotators and practicing the YTWL exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyray Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I dislocated my right shoulder about 2 years ago and it took about a year to be pain free. The most painful part on your body is most likely your shoulder. I had physical therapy for almost 4 months and had about 95% motion restored but it took almost a year to be pain free I was doing pushups after about 10 months after dislocation and suddenly I could hear the tendons stretch and all of a sudden I had full motion of shoulder. I have completely healed with no pain but it took about a year. Good luck with your surgery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
