Bass's shoulder surgery!

[Bass]

just wanted to share this with you, after 2 years of agenizing pain i'll be doing right shoulder surgery in 4-6 weeks from now, nothing torn, just bone spurs digging into the tendons, lots of pain. doc said simple surgery, 3 holes, go in and grind spurs off. according to the doc if he doesn't find torn tendons i'll be good as new within 2-4 weeks post surgery. Hopefully being on TRT will speed up recovery. wish me luck!

Bass, definitely thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Good luck. It sounds like a much easier operation than tendon repair. I will be going for hand surgery in 6 weeks and may be off this site for a month.

 

[Gene Devine]

Let us know how it goes bass.

4 weeks without training man; how are you going to survive LOL!!!

 

[Mocha]

Good luck, Bass. Keep us posted.

Wish you a speedy recovery!

thanks Tom, Chris, Nelson, Gene and Mocha! I really appreciate the support.

Yes Nelson its outpatient surgery, I'll go home the same day, assuming he won't find torn tendons.

LOL Gene, its going to suck big time, however I'll have more time to chime in

Keith Willse , one of our IT founders, is getting shoulder surgery tomorrow. Say hi to him!

 

[Bass]

its a small world, so you never know!

 

[Gene Devine]

Well Keith is having a SLAP tear repaired and it's pretty big time surgery compared to what bass is having done.

Hope you don't have a tear bass.

Keep us posted as soon as you can my friend.

reporting back (typing with left hand only).

all went well, they found small tear but not enough to repair, minor bone spurs and minor arthritis, they clean it up. the biggest thing was the acromion bone pushing hard against my tendon and that's what was giving me pain. surgery was yesterday, first day and the pain is tolerable with pain killers. recovery should be 2-4 weeks. can't wait to see what kind of improvement ill get out of this surgery. the biggest challenge is giving myself shots! will keep you posted...

Good to hear from you and glad it appears to be a success at this point. I take it you're grounded from riding the bike? That in itself would drive me bonkers! Get well!

 

[Gene Devine]

Glade to hear my friend; while I wish you didn't have to go through this I am glade it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

 

[Tom Larabee]

Glad to hear you have come through it with limited impacts.

this afternoon is my first therapy session, but few days ago as I was doing some stretches at home I heard a pop, more like a rip or multiple pops at ones. my doc said since there was no repair made I could stretch as far as I can tolerating pain, he said not to worry I won't damage anything. when I called his office the first thing the nurse said that's not good! then called me later and said to go ahead with the therapy and tell then what happened, if I don't see improvement then go see my doc.

sound was so loud three of my boys standing near me heard it. there was no pain when it happened but when I let go if the pressure I felt it and stayed with me for couple of days and now is much better. the sound/pop/crack I felt was on top of my shoulder or collar bone. will keep you posted.
