Quote:Mine is almost unbearable when doing specific things that are pretty necessary so I imagine it's already bad. I'm doing PT and have an appointment with ortho Tuesday so we'll see what happens from there. I've read the rehab from surgery is pretty long. I had surgery on my right shoulder 5 years ago to attach my biceps tendon to another location after an accident. That rehab was no fun either. I'm glad yours went so well. 

 

The PT isn't easy, that's for sure.  I really stuck with it religiously.  I had surgeries before (when I was much younger) where I just assumed it would get better, because I was younger and dumber.  I really wish I had done the PT on my knee the way they told me to.  I don't think I'd have as many problems as I do now.  My shoulder is 'as good as new'.  And the surgery they did on my shoulder was arthroscopic, so no real cutting.  I really think the key was doing the PT at home, like they told me to, rather than only at the therapist.
