best labrum repair testimony on youtube. informative and diverse and you nailed the common questions most of us are left wondering about. I'm paranoid about damaging my repair but your statement about the sling reassured me. And yes, sneezing and coughing and laughing can feel very unsettling on the shoulder during the healing process. I'm on day 9. fascinating shit.
Just wanted to say I stumbled across your video series after I had my labrum repaired (8 weeks ago) and i have had my ups and downs since the operation. Thanks for putting all of the time into these videos. I spent a lot of time watching, comparing/contrasting etc. I still have a long way to go and I just wanted to say that having these as a resource is really helpful. Thanks again, hope your still feeling great , and I am looking forward to getting back to as close to 100% as I can.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad these videos have allowed you to gauge where others have been at similar times in their recovery processes. Be sure to read through the comments on the videos, as well. There are some really good (and common) questions regarding recovery that you may find informational, too! In any case, thanks for supporting the series!
You've put together a fantastic series here my man. my story is some what similar to yours. started with a whip of a basketball almost 20 years ago. After that it was a subluxation here and there. Saw a couple surgeons who stated that i was pretty much borderline, but manageable. Then years of working in a warehouse started to get the better of me. And like yourself, the subluxations were now happening in my sleep. horrible wake up call. i remember scaring the crap out of my wife. lol. Anyway. After going through this about 4 or 5 times in less than a year it was time to get it sorted. i had the mild anxiety but felt minimal pain for the first day or two tops. I'm now 3 days past and feel quite good. i think the thing that's made it easier for me, is that the multiple pops previous to surgery allowed me to know the signs and the little tweaks that strike a nerve. so it's making things easier when it comes to avoiding pain. honestly, the aftermath so far had been a lot less worse than any of the dislocations i had. Sorry for killing your day with this long ass reply. lmao
+Potter tons It sucks that you've had to endure this as long as you have, but I'm glad you decided to get it fixed! Thank you for the kind words and supporting the channel and the series. I just passed my 2-year mark from my last dislocation and coming up on the 2-year mark for surgery. I still feel great, have only the SLIGHTEST range of motion limitations (palm going behind parallel with arm fully extended), and never another worry about it happening again. Good luck with your recovery and feel free to ask questions if you have any throughout your recovery. I'm not a medical expert, but experience is 2nd to none.
I have watched all of the videos up until this one. Thank you for sharing, it helps to relieve some anxiety about the post-op experience. Although I have 3 children so that is still a fear. Just wanted to say your videos are appreciated
Of course! Be sure to check out the whole series of videos I did that document my recovery. Good luck with your healing process! Thanks for supporting the series!
hi hope you are doing well, you are a great human being, for making these videos and sharing, to help others, you are a true leader, your videos will help lot of shoulder injury victims, your videos will live on
Cheers Marcus for putting this series up of your surgery on your shoulder. Im going in on Thursday to have the same op but not as much anchors as you i hope. I do alot of surfing and havent been able to do any surfing over summer this year (new Zealand Summer) which was pretty stink. But im looking forward to getting back out there and having no fear of my shoulder making terrible noises and popping out. Thanks heaps again, hope your 100% now.... Peter Mac
+Peter McDonald Thanks for supporting the series and the channel! Yes, shoulder is 100% as far as confidence goes. I have some limited ROM as I mentioned in the last video of the series, but I'm OK with that. It does not get in the way of normal, everyday life. You may feel tightness if you're surfing and falling and flailing, but it's not pain, just tightness and you'll get used to it. Good luck with your surgery and subsequent recovery!
Peter McDonald did your shoulder pop out while you were surfing? Ive had 3 shoulder dislocations in the past 2 years from skateboarding but in between those when I healed I also surfed and didnt feel any discomfort but the last time I dislocated it I tore my labrum so Im wanting to get surgery and im hoping after I heal up if ill feel confident enough to surf again have you surfed since your surgery?
I was going in kinda nervous about the aftermath but this sure helped relieve some anxiety lol thanks man 🤙🏽and thanks CZcams for recommending me this lol
Hey! I had my labrum torn almost the exact same as yours, all round it. Finally did the surgery after 10 years of my snowboarding accident. I'm on day 5 now!
@@runonempathy Hi, thanks for asking. Recovery is going very fast, I almost have a full range of motion and I'm returning to many activities (went back to Yoga yesterday). It's hard to believe the instability sensation is finally gone after so many years.
Thanks SO MUCH for your upbeat and informative video, bud. My son goes in for this in two weeks, and watching your stuff made me feel pretty good about post-op! I hope your shoulder is doing really well.
100% now! Good luck to your son. Understand he will likely have lots of frustration because of the limitations he'll have. Show him the 80-day video. Thanks for supporting the series!
@@marcusaurelius161 Will do, pal. We will be definitely patient with him and let him talk-through his frustrations. We wouldn't have known about that potential without you...so we definitely appreciate it, Marcus. Hope your arm is PHENOMENAL.
I started physical therapy by doing at hanging circles three days after my surgery. I also have a SLAP tear, bankhart tear and a biceps tenodesis. There basically wasn't much holding labrum onto the scapula. I have 8 anchors total. Yes, sneezing is awful. The worst part is when the nerve block wears off though. Advice use an ice machine basically 24/7. I had very minimal swelling and my physical therapist says it's the contestant cooling from the ice machine that helps with this.
Great video, Marcus! I did this surgery yesterday, with 7 anchors + 2 remplissage anchors. Still in major pain, but hopefully it will get better. Did you experience alot of pain in the start? When did the pain get lower?
Oh yeah. When that nerve block wears off it's REAL bad. The pain really started to subside at about 2 weeks, but then came back with PT. My advice is to take pain meds before every PT session. You'll thank yourself for it. Thanks for supporting the series!
I had labral tear shoulder surgery a week ago, and I also sneeze. It’s a little sting but it still hurts. I doubt it damages the repair. Doc said it’ll take about 6 months for full recovery.
hey there Ive seen that your video is about a year old. Hows your recovery going? Im exactly post 6 weeks from labrum tear surgery (bankart). Just want to know did you feel the need to have the sling on for 6 weeks or maybe even longer or before the 6 weeks. Were there times when you would have it off? Just curious to ask because I had the sling on and off before the 4th week just because of it being uncomfortable sometimes. But I'd say most times I'd be sitting on a recliner or lying down. I feel like I need to check (if there is a way) if I've compromised the anchors. Whats your take on that?
First off, good luck with your recovery! Next, I would encourage you to watch the entire series that I made on this surgery on my channel. I document my recovery all the way up through 14-months post-op and I answer a lot of what you ask about in those videos. As far as checking to see if you compromised the anchors, there is not a way to tell outside of an MRI. Unless you did something very vigorous or the shoulder dislocated again, I would say you should be OK. Thanks for supporting the channel!
day 14th after surgery here, have started with pendulum and other exercises to regain ROM, today was the first day of exercise, moved the shoulder 2 weeks after the surgery so faced some instability and pain. Hope to get better, soon :)
Yes, I did experience that sensation as well. I would say it's "normal" to feel that and not to worry too much about it. Just remember to listed to what your body is telling you and take it easy until you get the clear from the surgeon. Good luck with your recovery!
Had this surgery 10 days ago and had all the same questions and the violent sneezer is also me my first day back at school when I was walking back into school I sneezed and felt awful pain it was also my first day off the meds which was 8 days after surgery. I felt popping about 3-4 days after the surgery but it was little pops when I was propping my self up not using my repair arm at all but some little movements made it pop i was afraid I torn it or damaged it again but it slowed down on the popping soon after mine was torn on both sides of the labrum and was torn all the way around. Great video helps a lot
Thank you for sharing..I'm due to have this surgery soon..What do you do about the boredom? I've already been on temporary disability for 2 months after my shoulder dislocation cause I'm a massage therapist and I haven't regained the range of motion yet even after P.T. Dr says he needs to repair the labrum putting me out of work for an additional (4?) months. I'm going crazy not working!!!!! Now I have to endure recovering from surgery!! :( I live in a very small farm town with no movie theater or many amenities either . Uggg.
It may sound dumb, but getting lost in a book is something that is easily done anywhere. Maybe even WRITE a book! Thank you for the support of the series!
Hey Marcus, will have the operation in 1,5 weeks. One Question: Were you able to move your lower arm the first couple of days, like your elbow and hand? So is it enough to just not move your shoulder?
Yes, I was still able to use my arm from the elbow down once the numbness went away (nerve block). If you haven't done so already, I would encourage you to watch the entire series I made following me through my recovery. I think you'll find that most of the questions you will have are answered in the videos. Thanks for supporting the channel and good luck with your recovery!
thank you so much i’m 18 and was very active before this, i just got my surgery yesterday. the doctor put 8 anchors. any tips or things to be prepared for ?
Hey man! I'm currently on day 11, day 3-9 was amazing had no pain at all, but now I've been getting real bad tightness, cramps and random spasms causing real pain in the shoulder. Any ideas on why?? Thanks for these amazing videos have helped me alot!
They are right. Completely numb until the block begins to wear off, so be sure to take your pain medication BEFORE you feel pain. If you wait until you feel it, it will be too late and you'll be miserable. Thanks for supporting the series!
Had surgery 3 days ago on my left shoulder labrum. Took 3 hours and THIRTEEN anchors. They also did a bicep tenodesis which required another anchor. I won't know why I needed so many anchors until Oct 12th at my postop appointment. Most people I talk to have minimal pain, but I hurt so bad. Percocet only works intermittently.
Everyone will have a slightly different reaction to pain medicine. You could always ask for something different if what you have isn't working. I'm glad it has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck.
I got my Arthroscopic labrum repair with capsular shift and reimplissagw on 25th July 2023 .....now today 17th August 4 weeks now ....i won't feel much pain when I'm using sling ....as my dr. Said to have wrist moment and after 3 weeks he said to have pendulam like movement......for gaining movements..... A feel a bit pain ....is it Ohk ? And in how many days I'll regain my all movements? And I'll be able to back in gym or my sport cricket ever not ? 🙂..... Or what precautions i should take ....the. Don't have 2nd surgery for this shoulder thos one surgery already have me enough trauma ...... Please reply... Ik you guys can understand my concern n pain while asking for these quires
I was having pain in my shoulder and then I finally went to an orthopedic doctor and got an MRI and found out that I have a slap tear. I started doing physical therapy for like a month and then they gave me stretches and exercises to heal it up. I did it for a short period of time and then just completely put it off (like eh, I'll do it tomorrow 🤔). Now for about a week I've been getting pain throughout my trapezius(?) muscle. From the neck to the top/back of my right shoulder. I really don't want to get surgery, so I'm in hopes that if I make it a regular thing to do the stretches and exercises, I can heal it up that way. I got the slap tear from repetitive motion. I've been doing the same thing at work for the past 6 1/2 years, lifting bins off of the floor filled with plastic parts from the press, dumping them on a table, sorting through and putting them in a box. If the physical therapy doesn't improve it then I'll have to get surgery 😒 Anyways, I'm glad that it all went well for you. During this pandemic, stay safe man. Peace ✌🏻
It may sound like a "hippie" statement, but I strongly recommend massage therapy. It will help to lengthen the muscles and relieve stress and pressure. Maybe include that along with your PT stretches and exercises. Thanks for supporting the channel!
i had the same surgery with 5 anchors and a capsular shift three weeks ago and i had absolutely no pain but sneezing hurt me too. i got to 90° of overhead motion my first week post op with no pain somehow.
+Catherine Prince-St-Antoine Hmm, good question. I would say no, the dislocations hurt more. That's not to say there wasn't pain, but when the shoulder is out it hurts all over for days and the pain I experienced after surgery was more pinpoint and didn't last long. Thanks for supporting the series!
What's up man, how's your shoulder now? I tore my labrum 7 years ago and have dislocated 12 times since. New Arthogram showed more damage and possible Labral atrophy making it risky and difficult to operate on. Looking at options
Hey, am 4 weeks out on my SLAP+Bankart+Remplissage (4 anchors). Am still wearing a button down shirt and was wondering how you've been able to wear tees. Any technique you recommend without much operated arm motion?
Do you have any sorts of problem right now? Have you ever dislocated after the labrum repair? My doctor advised me to do bankart repair cause i'm having slight tears on the labrum and biceps tendons as well.
Hey man, I'm a football player and I've had my labrum torn for about 3 years. I'm getting surgery in December for it. What do you think the fastest I could recover and start lifting again is? Thank you!!
@@oscarmepham234 Hey! My surgery went really well! Within 2-3 months you’ll be able to start lifting lightly again and in about 4-5 months you’ll be around full go again! Good luck man! If you got any more questions lmk!
Thanks Marcus for the videos.. I'm 9 days after the surgery . Have 4 anchors (12 to 6 on the labrum) .. yesterday while sleeping, I flipped on the unaffected side of my shoulder. I woke up then and felt like the affected shoulder popped out for a bit before it went back in .. did you ever feel sth similar? I'm scared that I might have damaged what the doc had already fixed !
Yes, I have. I got it a LOT when I sneezed after surgery. Trust your surgeon. It's fixed. Just keep doing your ROM and strengthening exercises that you're prescribed and those sensations will stop happening. Good luck with your recovery and thanks for supporting the series!
Hello again. Thank you for the response. I have made it to week 6 and started actual Phyiscal Therapy once a week and i do exercises at home as well. Pain levels are definitely up there due to the therapy. Ice and me have gotten married because we are together all the time. I have had pain in my biceps more then the actual shoulder where they worked. I have got more details about thr surgery. I had a bankart tear and another slap tear cant recall what it's called. Also they had work a little on the rotator cuff as well. But the pain and some swelling is a normal thing because of the therapy? When i talked to my pt worker he did say there will be some pain and swelling there but ice will help. Thanks again
Yes, pain and swelling is normal. Be sure to manage it properly and keep the lines of communication open with both the physical therapist as well as your surgeon to ensure nothing is out of the norm. Good luck with the rest of your healing!
ok thank you. One more question sorry to be a pain in the butt. I was informed today that I can remove the sling now permently. Any recommendations on how to sleep. And I assume there is defiantly going to be pain involved. Sorry again.
Congrats! I would recommend doing your best to continue to sleep on your back. If you are the type to "flail" or sleep in awkward positions, it might not be a bad idea to keep the sling on when you sleep for an extra week or two (as much as that sucks). Good luck!
Im on day 11 so far and having some constant dull pain in operated shoulder(slightly more pain while exercising) also there are times when i lay on my back i feel some funny movement as if its gonna come out again.should i be worried?nice series btw.
Ok thanks. Was just making sure. I mean this pain has been significantly more severe . Any idea how long till this subsides following pt? I probably over did it a little as well.
Chris Roberts I can't say with certainty when your pain will subside, but the best way to manage it is to ice it regularly. If you choose to take pain medication don't take ibuprofen, instead go for the acetaminophen. Don't push it too hard and don't try to come back too quickly. Let the healing process run its course.
It's going to be painful, but you need to stretch those muscles out. I hope you're healing well and working through physical therapy! Thanks for supporting the series!
Going under the anesthesia was not bad at all! You wake up before you realize you've fallen asleep. I don't know how else to describe it. Good luck and keep the questions coming if you have them!
Just got labrum repair 3 days ago, probably a mental thing but my shoulder feels loose. I had lots of subluxation and dislocations prior to my surgery. Anyone else experience this feeling?
I get my surgery I'm 2 days - only 3 anchors thankfully. When they have me my sling they didn't give me my "pillow" with it, did you get yours the day of surgery? (The pillow that goes under your elbow/on your side
Hi I’m pretty sure that’s depending on the hospital and what they usually give out.. had this surgery done twice in different hospitals but both didn’t give me the “pillow”.. anyway I’m 5 days post op and I’m just gonna order a better sling online to keep my shoulder more secure would recommend you do the same
I didn't realize there were different options. This one just came with it. I'm glad this video series has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck with your recovery!
Well I feel I did a fair job at documenting everything through 14 months, so I would encourage you to check out the whole video series. I may answer a fair number of questions you might have in those videos. Thanks for supporting the series!
Hey man .... How's uh doing now I just got this Bankart repair on my right shoulder 10 days ago......want to know that in how many days can i go for cardio exercises and all ...... Cause I'm getting more and more pounds 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just like i was getting in lockdown Hope you will reply 🙏
+nickusoxvi My SLAP tear happened when they tried, and failed, to put my shoulder back in at the hospital, so I can't speak to the symptoms or how it felt. I am sorry. I would recommend you see your doctors and start the process of getting an MRI with contrast. That really is the only way to tell if you do, in fact, have a tear anywhere on the labrum.
I had surgery 3 weeks ago and I still cant fall a sleep out of pain (lying makes shoulder and biceps hurt). But i did have 6 anchors, SLAP lesion and even stich on bicep tendon. I am constantly in the sling btw. But to be honest my injury is 9 years old. Still, I am bit worried about this pain thing, cause I haven’t heard that it should be this painful.
Hey man, hang on! I took of my shoulder orthosis and I am doing rehab now. I spoke with my doctor about the pain and he said that's more less normal. Arm and shoulder have weakened dramatically. I am rehabing it little, by little and it's getting better. My advice is to not worry too much :) Hang in there, buddy! It's gonna be OK. Let us know the development of things.
Hey bro ....I have ahead a labrum tear from 1 to 5 o clock and had put 4 anchors..... My major concern is that I have pain in my long head of my biceps and since the day from my surgery I have pain in my biceps (long head) rather than my shoulder (unless I move it) I had told the doctor and he said that it was normal.....I wanna ask whether u had any Pain in ur biceps and also that I m a gym freak so ..... Eager to go to gym ... My doctor said I should be able to after 3 mnths....plz give ur thoughts on my questions.... Thank you!!!
Ok, first off, TAKE YOUR TIME HEALING. If you mess this one up, you'll have to go through it all over again, and then you're REALLY talking about a long time. Secondly, everyone heals differently and experiences pain differently. If the doctor and the PT aren't concerned, then I would say you're OK. Keep doing what you're supposed to be doing, and stay away from things that are more than you should be doing. Set small goals and focus on those. Good luck with your continued recovery!
Marcus Aurelius hey buddy thanks for the rply....it’s been 10 days now and bicep pain has gone... its recovering right now... no pain at all unless I move it! U did a great job recording ur experience.... u give ppl like us motivation .... so thank you!!
Marcus Aurelius I tore my labrum all the way around and I just had surgery December 14th. And the Dr told me that I have to be in this sling for about 6weeks as well. I don't feel any pain unless I sneeze or I'm in the cold shaking.. My only question" now that's im really not feeling any pain. I can sorta move my shoulder. That wouldn't mean I messed up anything right?
I am at day 12 post surgery. I have had so much pain lol. How long does the pain linger for? I can take my sling off during the day time but have to have it on at night.
The pain will last a little while, I would say 3 weeks or so, but when you start your physical therapy the pain will return due to the movement and re-conditioning. Good luck!
Sorry to bug you again. But I forget to mentioned early but I was wondering if the shoulder would be a swollen because of the physical therapy. Or should I contact my surgeon to make sure.
My therapist did mention to me that I have swelling inside of my shoulder as well. I was worried because it felt like a balloon when I lifted my arm up. But its all normal. Thanks again
Ha, never really. I still have reduced ROM, but it is not noticeable unless laying flat on a hard surface. Thanks for watching and good luck with the healing and recovery!
Got arthroscopy 2days ago (2 anchors left shoulder rugby injury 1 year old injury) and wow it went pretty smooth the internet kinda scared me with this surgery lol they described it as unbearable pain but umm no not really
had open surgery 4 weeks ago. got HUGE scar down top of arm. sling is now off. starting physio soon. still hurts like hell when move arm. very, very limited movement.
Sounds like you had "open" surgery vs "arthroscopic" surgery. I'd be curious to see your progress during your recovery vs mine. Keep us all posted and good luck with your recovery!
Hey Stuart, hope your arm has recovered fully. I'm advised to go for an open surgery, can you share about your experience as most of the videos and articles talk only about the arthroscopic surgery?
I had fully open bankart repair, did all the physio, 4 years on now (almost) I have nerve damage in my arm, can only raise half way to the side. Constantly in pain, clicking, cracking, crunching. Can't get arm behind my back. Worst surgery I had done. Would not recommend to anyone.
@@scottishbawbag315 try to find another doctor, ask around, check the doctor out and reviews before surgery. Most importantly take your recovery slow, no heavy lifting for one year. You may have to make changes in your lifestyle, to avoid future damage.
Did you get popping noise about week after ur surgery... I also had labrum repair. I am getting popping noise and I don't know whether is normal or not.
amit amit I would strongly advise AGAINST moving it in any way. That being said, I did have a popping sensation but it was more of a feeling and not a noise. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is painful, in which case you should call the doctor's office and they will have you in to take a look at it. I hope you heal quickly and fully!
You'll be wearing it. Just remember, if you push too hard too fast, you'll be back in it again because you'll require another surgery. Let the healing process complete before you get back to your workout routine.
God dislocated my shoulder 8 times in 7 years...some dislocations was very frequent 3 dislocation within 1 year ..recently dislocated after almost 1.t year and it was horrible took 3 hrs to reduces as hospital was far from the location...want to fix it but scared form surgery as don't know about succes rate of it
Brian Delay did mine. Early advice is ICE! Even if he thinks he doesn't need it, keep icing it. Keep the shoulder as immobile as possible, don't try to push anything. If he wants to, he can do the little isometric-type exercises while in the sling. Don't move the shoulder, but flex the muscles. Lastly, do the pendulums and get into Physical Therapy as soon as possible. Oh yea, and work that scar tissue!
@@viraltunes3379 depends of how many times you dislocated you shoulder before, how mant anchors they Will put you, your age and how much muscle you have, etc etc
You're right and I agree with both parts. Just don't ever watch a video on what they do while you're under anesthesia. Thanks for supporting the channel!
Marcus Aurelius hey man. I am actually doing a lot better than I thought. I still gotta get my stitches out but everything is clean for the most part. Can’t wait to gain full control of my arm again
I was aware of everything going on around me. Really, it felt just like waking up in the morning; just a little groggy at first and almost wanting to sleep a little more but you're aware of everything. You'll get a wave of "alright, I'm good to go", but don't be fooled by this as it only lasts about 15 minutes and then all you want to do is sleep some more. Think of how you feel when waking up after taking allergy medication like Benadryl or flu medicine like Nyquil.
I had mine done 5 weeks ago. I had a bankart fracture. 11 anchors for the labrum and a screw for the bone. Really wish mine was arthroscopic but ended up being open
Not even close. I could start doing push-ups somewhere around the 4-month point, but I was still SO weak that they were not traditional push ups. Thanks for supporting the series!
Marcus Aurelius no thank you man, this is helping me get through this. I have one more question though, I am a varsity athlete and senior year is coming up and this injury has made me get really out of shape. Is there any workout I can actually do or anything I can do to stay in shape? I am 2 weeks post op. Thank you for your reply
Yes..... once ur off everything an on the mend, the worst is yet to come....... had labrum repair and stabilizers and rotator cuff repair....... worst recovery ever.......

@@marcusaurelius161
Sir,
Did you dislocate after operation in this 7 years
You've put together a fantastic series here my man.
my story is some what similar to yours. started with a whip of a basketball almost 20 years ago. After that it was a subluxation here and there. Saw a couple surgeons who stated that i was pretty much borderline, but manageable.
Then years of working in a warehouse started to get the better of me. And like yourself, the subluxations were now happening in my sleep. horrible wake up call. i remember scaring the crap out of my wife. lol.
Anyway. After going through this about 4 or 5 times in less than a year it was time to get it sorted.
i had the mild anxiety but felt minimal pain for the first day or two tops.
I'm now 3 days past and feel quite good.
i think the thing that's made it easier for me, is that the multiple pops previous to surgery allowed me to know the signs and the little tweaks that strike a nerve. so it's making things easier when it comes to avoiding pain.
honestly, the aftermath so far had been a lot less worse than any of the dislocations i had.
Sorry for killing your day with this long ass reply. lmao
+Potter tons It sucks that you've had to endure this as long as you have, but I'm glad you decided to get it fixed! Thank you for the kind words and supporting the channel and the series. I just passed my 2-year mark from my last dislocation and coming up on the 2-year mark for surgery. I still feel great, have only the SLIGHTEST range of motion limitations (palm going behind parallel with arm fully extended), and never another worry about it happening again.
Good luck with your recovery and feel free to ask questions if you have any throughout your recovery. I'm not a medical expert, but experience is 2nd to none.
I have watched all of the videos up until this one. Thank you for sharing, it helps to relieve some anxiety about the post-op experience. Although I have 3 children so that is still a fear. Just wanted to say your videos are appreciated
Thanks for supporting the series!
Did this today, with only two anchors. Thank you for making this video!
Of course! Be sure to check out the whole series of videos I did that document my recovery. Good luck with your healing process! Thanks for supporting the series!
hi hope you are doing well, you are a great human being, for making these videos and sharing, to help others, you are a true leader, your videos will help lot of shoulder injury victims, your videos will live on
Love your attitude. I'm booked for this surgery on April 7th and I'm hoping to have as good of an attitude as you.

How are you after 3 years?
Cheers Marcus for putting this series up of your surgery on your shoulder. Im going in on Thursday to have the same op but not as much anchors as you i hope. I do alot of surfing and havent been able to do any surfing over summer this year (new Zealand Summer) which was pretty stink. But im looking forward to getting back out there and having no fear of my shoulder making terrible noises and popping out. Thanks heaps again, hope your 100% now.... Peter Mac
+Peter McDonald Thanks for supporting the series and the channel! Yes, shoulder is 100% as far as confidence goes. I have some limited ROM as I mentioned in the last video of the series, but I'm OK with that. It does not get in the way of normal, everyday life. You may feel tightness if you're surfing and falling and flailing, but it's not pain, just tightness and you'll get used to it. Good luck with your surgery and subsequent recovery!
Peter McDonald did your shoulder pop out while you were surfing? Ive had 3 shoulder dislocations in the past 2 years from skateboarding but in between those when I healed I also surfed and didnt feel any discomfort but the last time I dislocated it I tore my labrum so Im wanting to get surgery and im hoping after I heal up if ill feel confident enough to surf again have you surfed since your surgery?
thank you, just had it done, covered a lot of question
Thank you for the support of the series and good luck with your recovery! I'm glad this helped.
I was going in kinda nervous about the aftermath but this sure helped relieve some anxiety lol thanks man 🤙🏽and thanks CZcams for recommending me this lol
I'm glad it has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck.
Hey! I had my labrum torn almost the exact same as yours, all round it. Finally did the surgery after 10 years of my snowboarding accident. I'm on day 5 now!
Great! Good luck with your recovery!
Luciano how did you recover?
@@runonempathy Hi, thanks for asking. Recovery is going very fast, I almost have a full range of motion and I'm returning to many activities (went back to Yoga yesterday). It's hard to believe the instability sensation is finally gone after so many years.
Thanks SO MUCH for your upbeat and informative video, bud. My son goes in for this in two weeks, and watching your stuff made me feel pretty good about post-op! I hope your shoulder is doing really well.
100% now! Good luck to your son. Understand he will likely have lots of frustration because of the limitations he'll have. Show him the 80-day video. Thanks for supporting the series!
@@marcusaurelius161 Will do, pal. We will be definitely patient with him and let him talk-through his frustrations. We wouldn't have known about that potential without you...so we definitely appreciate it, Marcus. Hope your arm is PHENOMENAL.
Im about to have the same surgery and this calmed me down, i appreciate it!
I'm glad it has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck.
Helpful, thanks!
Thanks for supporting the series!
Hey man I just got the surgery about 2 weeks ago, preciate these videos
I'm glad it has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck.
I started physical therapy by doing at hanging circles three days after my surgery. I also have a SLAP tear, bankhart tear and a biceps tenodesis. There basically wasn't much holding labrum onto the scapula. I have 8 anchors total.
Yes, sneezing is awful. The worst part is when the nerve block wears off though. Advice use an ice machine basically 24/7. I had very minimal swelling and my physical therapist says it's the contestant cooling from the ice machine that helps with this.
Glad to hear you're healing well! Thank you for the support of the series!
I'hv 2 anchor
Sneezing.....is also my nightmare after surgery
This is really helpful thanks for this info.
Glad it helped! Thanks for supporting the series!
Great video, Marcus! I did this surgery yesterday, with 7 anchors + 2 remplissage anchors. Still in major pain, but hopefully it will get better. Did you experience alot of pain in the start? When did the pain get lower?
Oh yeah. When that nerve block wears off it's REAL bad. The pain really started to subside at about 2 weeks, but then came back with PT. My advice is to take pain meds before every PT session. You'll thank yourself for it. Thanks for supporting the series!
Just got mine done today. 11 anchors and a slap tear repair. Not fun but it will be so worth it
Thanks for watching and good luck with the healing and recovery!
Thanks for this vdo man.
I'm glad it has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck.
I had labral tear shoulder surgery a week ago, and I also sneeze. It’s a little sting but it still hurts. I doubt it damages the repair. Doc said it’ll take about 6 months for full recovery.
Doc isn't wrong. Thanks for supporting the series!
Good video mate
Thanks.
hey there Ive seen that your video is about a year old. Hows your recovery going? Im exactly post 6 weeks from labrum tear surgery (bankart). Just want to know did you feel the need to have the sling on for 6 weeks or maybe even longer or before the 6 weeks. Were there times when you would have it off? Just curious to ask because I had the sling on and off before the 4th week just because of it being uncomfortable sometimes. But I'd say most times I'd be sitting on a recliner or lying down. I feel like I need to check (if there is a way) if I've compromised the anchors. Whats your take on that?
First off, good luck with your recovery! Next, I would encourage you to watch the entire series that I made on this surgery on my channel. I document my recovery all the way up through 14-months post-op and I answer a lot of what you ask about in those videos.
As far as checking to see if you compromised the anchors, there is not a way to tell outside of an MRI. Unless you did something very vigorous or the shoulder dislocated again, I would say you should be OK.
Thanks for supporting the channel!
Thank you for the video...
I'm glad this video series has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck with your recovery!
day 14th after surgery here, have started with pendulum and other exercises to regain ROM, today was the first day of exercise, moved the shoulder 2 weeks after the surgery so faced some instability and pain. Hope to get better, soon :)
Hey man, I'm on day 8. Haven't had any pain since day 3 until last night. It feels really tight like it's being stretched. Did you experience this?
Yes, I did experience that sensation as well. I would say it's "normal" to feel that and not to worry too much about it. Just remember to listed to what your body is telling you and take it easy until you get the clear from the surgeon. Good luck with your recovery!
I was wondering about this myself, thanks for asking and answering guys
Thank you for sharing your videos ..I am also going to surgery on next week..I got a confident level after watching you video...!!
I'm glad this video series has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck with your recovery!
Had this surgery 10 days ago and had all the same questions and the violent sneezer is also me my first day back at school when I was walking back into school I sneezed and felt awful pain it was also my first day off the meds which was 8 days after surgery. I felt popping about 3-4 days after the surgery but it was little pops when I was propping my self up not using my repair arm at all but some little movements made it pop i was afraid I torn it or damaged it again but it slowed down on the popping soon after mine was torn on both sides of the labrum and was torn all the way around. Great video helps a lot
Thanks for the comment. This actually helps other folks who experience that as well. Good luck with your continued recovery!
I am on day 11 today.. great vid bro!
Good luck with recovery! Thanks for supporting the series!
@@marcusaurelius161No, thank YOU Marcus. You seem like a really nice guy. Hope that you are fully recovered
Thank you for sharing..I'm due to have this surgery soon..What do you do about the boredom? I've already been on temporary disability for 2 months after my shoulder dislocation cause I'm a massage therapist and I haven't regained the range of motion yet even after P.T. Dr says he needs to repair the labrum putting me out of work for an additional (4?) months. I'm going crazy not working!!!!! Now I have to endure recovering from surgery!! :( I live in a very small farm town with no movie theater or many amenities either . Uggg.
It may sound dumb, but getting lost in a book is something that is easily done anywhere. Maybe even WRITE a book! Thank you for the support of the series!
How are you doing Sam? I dig the recommendation to write a book, what did you end up doing for all that time post-op?
Hey Marcus, will have the operation in 1,5 weeks. One Question: Were you able to move your lower arm the first couple of days, like your elbow and hand? So is it enough to just not move your shoulder?
Yes, I was still able to use my arm from the elbow down once the numbness went away (nerve block). If you haven't done so already, I would encourage you to watch the entire series I made following me through my recovery. I think you'll find that most of the questions you will have are answered in the videos.
Thanks for supporting the channel and good luck with your recovery!
Thanks Mate. Yea i saw the whole series. I just wanted to know if i will be able to use a computer from day 1 on :-) Thank you and take care
I go in tomorrow for my labrum surgery. Dr. told me it is 95% Tour. Fun fun
Thanks for watching and good luck with the healing and recovery!
thank you so much i’m 18 and was very active before this, i just got my surgery yesterday. the doctor put 8 anchors. any tips or things to be prepared for ?
I'm sure you're back to 100% now, but the video series really details most of my thoughts throughout the process.
Hey man! I'm currently on day 11, day 3-9 was amazing had no pain at all, but now I've been getting real bad tightness, cramps and random spasms causing real pain in the shoulder. Any ideas on why?? Thanks for these amazing videos have helped me alot!
ahhTaliyah how is your recovery going?? Does it still hurt. I’m on day 15 and after kit having much pain now I do and spasms
I had similar spasms, but that was the muscles and nerves recovering. Thanks for supporting the series!
My 11th day was pretty much pain-free🙏
Edit-The worst part is definitely my difficulty sleeping. I had a total of 5 anchors
Thanks for supporting the series!
I get mine in two weeks, kinda scared but everyone says you don't feel a thing from surgery until the nerve block wears off
They are right. Completely numb until the block begins to wear off, so be sure to take your pain medication BEFORE you feel pain. If you wait until you feel it, it will be too late and you'll be miserable. Thanks for supporting the series!
Had surgery 3 days ago on my left shoulder labrum. Took 3 hours and THIRTEEN anchors. They also did a bicep tenodesis which required another anchor. I won't know why I needed so many anchors until Oct 12th at my postop appointment. Most people I talk to have minimal pain, but I hurt so bad. Percocet only works intermittently.
Everyone will have a slightly different reaction to pain medicine. You could always ask for something different if what you have isn't working. I'm glad it has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck.
Bro how are you now plz tell
I got my Arthroscopic labrum repair with capsular shift and reimplissagw on 25th July 2023 .....now today 17th August 4 weeks now ....i won't feel much pain when I'm using sling ....as my dr. Said to have wrist moment and after 3 weeks he said to have pendulam like movement......for gaining movements.....
A feel a bit pain ....is it Ohk ?
And in how many days I'll regain my all movements?
And I'll be able to back in gym or my sport cricket ever not ? 🙂.....
Or what precautions i should take ....the. Don't have 2nd surgery for this shoulder thos one surgery already have me enough trauma ......
Please reply... Ik you guys can understand my concern n pain while asking for these quires
I was having pain in my shoulder and then I finally went to an orthopedic doctor and got an MRI and found out that I have a slap tear. I started doing physical therapy for like a month and then they gave me stretches and exercises to heal it up. I did it for a short period of time and then just completely put it off (like eh, I'll do it tomorrow 🤔). Now for about a week I've been getting pain throughout my trapezius(?) muscle. From the neck to the top/back of my right shoulder. I really don't want to get surgery, so I'm in hopes that if I make it a regular thing to do the stretches and exercises, I can heal it up that way. I got the slap tear from repetitive motion. I've been doing the same thing at work for the past 6 1/2 years, lifting bins off of the floor filled with plastic parts from the press, dumping them on a table, sorting through and putting them in a box. If the physical therapy doesn't improve it then I'll have to get surgery 😒 Anyways, I'm glad that it all went well for you. During this pandemic, stay safe man. Peace ✌🏻
It may sound like a "hippie" statement, but I strongly recommend massage therapy. It will help to lengthen the muscles and relieve stress and pressure. Maybe include that along with your PT stretches and exercises. Thanks for supporting the channel!
@@marcusaurelius161 thanks bro and you're welcome
i had the same surgery with 5 anchors and a capsular shift three weeks ago and i had absolutely no pain but sneezing hurt me too. i got to 90° of overhead motion my first week post op with no pain somehow.
Thanks for supporting the series!
Did it hurt more after the surgery than when your shoulder was dislocated?
+Catherine Prince-St-Antoine Hmm, good question. I would say no, the dislocations hurt more. That's not to say there wasn't pain, but when the shoulder is out it hurts all over for days and the pain I experienced after surgery was more pinpoint and didn't last long. Thanks for supporting the series!
What's up man, how's your shoulder now? I tore my labrum 7 years ago and have dislocated 12 times since. New Arthogram showed more damage and possible Labral atrophy making it risky and difficult to operate on. Looking at options
Shoulder is 99%! I'm sorry to hear your challenge. I hope they are able to fix it back up for you! Thanks for supporting the series!
Hey, am 4 weeks out on my SLAP+Bankart+Remplissage (4 anchors). Am still wearing a button down shirt and was wondering how you've been able to wear tees. Any technique you recommend without much operated arm motion?
I would put it on the operated arm first, then muscle it around my head and other arm. Thanks for supporting the series!
Do you have any sorts of problem right now? Have you ever dislocated after the labrum repair? My doctor advised me to do bankart repair cause i'm having slight tears on the labrum and biceps tendons as well.
No issues! Thanks for supporting the series!
Hey man, I'm a football player and I've had my labrum torn for about 3 years. I'm getting surgery in December for it. What do you think the fastest I could recover and start lifting again is? Thank you!!
Now 6 - 7 months after, how are you doing? I'm getting my surgery this Tuesday
@@oscarmepham234 Hey! My surgery went really well! Within 2-3 months you’ll be able to start lifting lightly again and in about 4-5 months you’ll be around full go again! Good luck man! If you got any more questions lmk!
@@ameerdalbik2231 I LOVE YOU AMEER
I'm glad it has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck.
Thanks Marcus for the videos.. I'm 9 days after the surgery . Have 4 anchors (12 to 6 on the labrum) .. yesterday while sleeping, I flipped on the unaffected side of my shoulder. I woke up then and felt like the affected shoulder popped out for a bit before it went back in .. did you ever feel sth similar? I'm scared that I might have damaged what the doc had already fixed !
Hani Dahleh I have felt that pain! It felt like it popped out and came back in
Yes, I have. I got it a LOT when I sneezed after surgery. Trust your surgeon. It's fixed. Just keep doing your ROM and strengthening exercises that you're prescribed and those sensations will stop happening. Good luck with your recovery and thanks for supporting the series!
Hello again. Thank you for the response. I have made it to week 6 and started actual Phyiscal Therapy once a week and i do exercises at home as well. Pain levels are definitely up there due to the therapy. Ice and me have gotten married because we are together all the time. I have had pain in my biceps more then the actual shoulder where they worked. I have got more details about thr surgery. I had a bankart tear and another slap tear cant recall what it's called. Also they had work a little on the rotator cuff as well. But the pain and some swelling is a normal thing because of the therapy? When i talked to my pt worker he did say there will be some pain and swelling there but ice will help. Thanks again
Yes, pain and swelling is normal. Be sure to manage it properly and keep the lines of communication open with both the physical therapist as well as your surgeon to ensure nothing is out of the norm. Good luck with the rest of your healing!
ok thank you. One more question sorry to be a pain in the butt. I was informed today that I can remove the sling now permently. Any recommendations on how to sleep. And I assume there is defiantly going to be pain involved. Sorry again.
Congrats! I would recommend doing your best to continue to sleep on your back. If you are the type to "flail" or sleep in awkward positions, it might not be a bad idea to keep the sling on when you sleep for an extra week or two (as much as that sucks). Good luck!
When I have attempted to sleep on the right side I get a nice reminder lol. Thank you for answering my questions. Sorry to keep asking.
Just got labrum/bicep tendon shoulder surgery yesterday.
Good luck with recovery. Thanks for supporting the series!
Im on day 11 so far and having some constant dull pain in operated shoulder(slightly more pain while exercising) also there are times when i lay on my back i feel some funny movement as if its gonna come out again.should i be worried?nice series btw.
No need to worry. Your body is healing from a trauma. Thanks for supporting the series!
@@marcusaurelius161
Sir did you dislocate by any chance again
Are you involved in sports activities
Ok thanks. Was just making sure. I mean this pain has been significantly more severe . Any idea how long till this subsides following pt? I probably over did it a little as well.
Chris Roberts I can't say with certainty when your pain will subside, but the best way to manage it is to ice it regularly. If you choose to take pain medication don't take ibuprofen, instead go for the acetaminophen. Don't push it too hard and don't try to come back too quickly. Let the healing process run its course.
Hey does anyone know the gym workout limitations for bankart repair surgery, mine happened 16 months ago
Very personal and dependent on a million factors. Work that out with your doc and PT. Thanks for supporting the series!
Just tried to take my arm out the sling five days after surgery and it was way too painful and had to put it back on.... any tips on this
It's going to be painful, but you need to stretch those muscles out. I hope you're healing well and working through physical therapy! Thanks for supporting the series!
I gotta have this surgery soon.....I'm scared to get put to sleep...was it bad?
Going under the anesthesia was not bad at all! You wake up before you realize you've fallen asleep. I don't know how else to describe it. Good luck and keep the questions coming if you have them!
Just got labrum repair 3 days ago, probably a mental thing but my shoulder feels loose. I had lots of subluxation and dislocations prior to my surgery. Anyone else experience this feeling?
Yep. Sneezing exacerbated that feeling for me. It passes. Thanks for supporting the channel!
How is your shoulder now after 8 years??
9 years later, shoulder is perfect.
I get my surgery I'm 2 days - only 3 anchors thankfully. When they have me my sling they didn't give me my "pillow" with it, did you get yours the day of surgery? (The pillow that goes under your elbow/on your side
Hi I’m pretty sure that’s depending on the hospital and what they usually give out.. had this surgery done twice in different hospitals but both didn’t give me the “pillow”.. anyway I’m 5 days post op and I’m just gonna order a better sling online to keep my shoulder more secure would recommend you do the same
I didn't realize there were different options. This one just came with it. I'm glad this video series has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck with your recovery!
Where did you get that sling??!??!
I had it on when I woke up from surgery. Thanks for supporting the series!
I just got labrum surgery 12 days ago and I have 7 anchors I would really love to talk to you about your process!!!!
Well I feel I did a fair job at documenting everything through 14 months, so I would encourage you to check out the whole video series. I may answer a fair number of questions you might have in those videos. Thanks for supporting the series!
Hey man .... How's uh doing now
I just got this Bankart repair on my right shoulder 10 days ago......want to know that in how many days can i go for cardio exercises and all ...... Cause I'm getting more and more pounds 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just like i was getting in lockdown
Hope you will reply 🙏
You should be good to go. Low impact is best. Stationary bicycle. Thanks for watching and good luck with the healing and recovery!
did you hurt pretty bad after first few pt treatments?
Yes. The movement was new to the muscles and joint. It was sore. What hurt the most was ANY external rotation.
I'm worried I have a Slap Tear ( injured in basketball ) what are the common symptoms and what did it feel like?
I've Also had pain moving my left shoulder
+nickusoxvi My SLAP tear happened when they tried, and failed, to put my shoulder back in at the hospital, so I can't speak to the symptoms or how it felt. I am sorry. I would recommend you see your doctors and start the process of getting an MRI with contrast. That really is the only way to tell if you do, in fact, have a tear anywhere on the labrum.
I had surgery 3 weeks ago and I still cant fall a sleep out of pain (lying makes shoulder and biceps hurt). But i did have 6 anchors, SLAP lesion and even stich on bicep tendon. I am constantly in the sling btw. But to be honest my injury is 9 years old. Still, I am bit worried about this pain thing, cause I haven’t heard that it should be this painful.
Hey man, hang on! I took of my shoulder orthosis and I am doing rehab now. I spoke with my doctor about the pain and he said that's more less normal. Arm and shoulder have weakened dramatically. I am rehabing it little, by little and it's getting better. My advice is to not worry too much :) Hang in there, buddy! It's gonna be OK. Let us know the development of things.
Great news!
Man it's been almost a year. How are u feeling? How is your shoulder?
@@Kodreanu23?
All good! Thanks for supporting the series!
Hey bro ....I have ahead a labrum tear from 1 to 5 o clock and had put 4 anchors..... My major concern is that I have pain in my long head of my biceps and since the day from my surgery I have pain in my biceps (long head) rather than my shoulder (unless I move it)
I had told the doctor and he said that it was normal.....I wanna ask whether u had any Pain in ur biceps and also that I m a gym freak so ..... Eager to go to gym ... My doctor said I should be able to after 3 mnths....plz give ur thoughts on my questions.... Thank you!!!
Ok, first off, TAKE YOUR TIME HEALING. If you mess this one up, you'll have to go through it all over again, and then you're REALLY talking about a long time. Secondly, everyone heals differently and experiences pain differently. If the doctor and the PT aren't concerned, then I would say you're OK. Keep doing what you're supposed to be doing, and stay away from things that are more than you should be doing. Set small goals and focus on those. Good luck with your continued recovery!
Marcus Aurelius hey buddy thanks for the rply....it’s been 10 days now and bicep pain has gone... its recovering right now... no pain at all unless I move it!
U did a great job recording ur experience.... u give ppl like us motivation .... so thank you!!
Marcus Aurelius I tore my labrum all the way around and I just had surgery December 14th. And the Dr told me that I have to be in this sling for about 6weeks as well. I don't feel any pain unless I sneeze or I'm in the cold shaking.. My only question" now that's im really not feeling any pain. I can sorta move my shoulder. That wouldn't mean I messed up anything right?
No, nothing is messed up. You'll be in PT soon, and they will have you moving it there. Keep fighting the good fight!
I am at day 12 post surgery. I have had so much pain lol. How long does the pain linger for? I can take my sling off during the day time but have to have it on at night.
The pain will last a little while, I would say 3 weeks or so, but when you start your physical therapy the pain will return due to the movement and re-conditioning. Good luck!
Sorry to bug you again. But I forget to mentioned early but I was wondering if the shoulder would be a swollen because of the physical therapy. Or should I contact my surgeon to make sure.
Shoulder will be swollen due to PT, nothing to be alarmed of.
My therapist did mention to me that I have swelling inside of my shoulder as well. I was worried because it felt like a balloon when I lifted my arm up. But its all normal. Thanks again
When did your shoulder completely unstiffen
Ha, never really. I still have reduced ROM, but it is not noticeable unless laying flat on a hard surface. Thanks for watching and good luck with the healing and recovery!
Got arthroscopy 2days ago (2 anchors left shoulder rugby injury 1 year old injury) and wow it went pretty smooth the internet kinda scared me with this surgery lol they described it as unbearable pain but umm no not really
Glad it wasn't as bad as you feared. Good luck with your recovery!
had open surgery 4 weeks ago. got HUGE scar down top of arm. sling is now off. starting physio soon. still hurts like hell when move arm. very, very limited movement.
Sounds like you had "open" surgery vs "arthroscopic" surgery. I'd be curious to see your progress during your recovery vs mine. Keep us all posted and good luck with your recovery!
Hey Stuart, hope your arm has recovered fully.
I'm advised to go for an open surgery, can you share about your experience as most of the videos and articles talk only about the arthroscopic surgery?
I had fully open bankart repair, did all the physio, 4 years on now (almost) I have nerve damage in my arm, can only raise half way to the side. Constantly in pain, clicking, cracking, crunching. Can't get arm behind my back. Worst surgery I had done. Would not recommend to anyone.
@@scottishbawbag315 oh snap! 😓 this is so sad
@@scottishbawbag315 try to find another doctor, ask around, check the doctor out and reviews before surgery. Most importantly take your recovery slow, no heavy lifting for one year. You may have to make changes in your lifestyle, to avoid future damage.
Did you get popping noise about week after ur surgery... I also had labrum repair. I am getting popping noise and I don't know whether is normal or not.
amit amit I would strongly advise AGAINST moving it in any way. That being said, I did have a popping sensation but it was more of a feeling and not a noise. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is painful, in which case you should call the doctor's office and they will have you in to take a look at it.
I hope you heal quickly and fully!
Marcus Aurelius im having the same popping sensation. im 20 days in my surgery
I'm going in for this same surgery next week. Hope I'm not wearing that shit after eleven days its gonna make heavy bench pressing difficult
You'll be wearing it. Just remember, if you push too hard too fast, you'll be back in it again because you'll require another surgery. Let the healing process complete before you get back to your workout routine.
@@marcusaurelius161 did your shoulder move a little even though you had a brace?
Do you have a connective tissue disorder, such as EDS Hypermobility?
Nope.
Brother What type of anchor is used in your surgery ?
I have no idea. Good ones. Haha.
God dislocated my shoulder 8 times in 7 years...some dislocations was very frequent 3 dislocation within 1 year ..recently dislocated after almost 1.t year and it was horrible took 3 hrs to reduces as hospital was far from the location...want to fix it but scared form surgery as don't know about succes rate of it
This surgery was the best decision I made for the shoulder challenges I faced.
How do you feel now?
Awesome! Thanks for watching and good luck with the healing and recovery!
I just got my surgery yesterday!
Good luck! Thanks for supporting the series!
I just got operated today. Damn is painful after the effect of the anesthesia dissapear
Yep. Do what you can to mitigate it.
Yes my son here in kannapolis office he gas labrum surgery Thursday who did yours and just advice
Brian Delay did mine. Early advice is ICE! Even if he thinks he doesn't need it, keep icing it. Keep the shoulder as immobile as possible, don't try to push anything. If he wants to, he can do the little isometric-type exercises while in the sling. Don't move the shoulder, but flex the muscles. Lastly, do the pendulums and get into Physical Therapy as soon as possible. Oh yea, and work that scar tissue!
How’s things now?
Honestly great. Really no issues. Good luck with the healing and recovery!

@@marcusaurelius161 thanks man
The surgery obviously isn't fun, but it isn't that bad. I thought the worst part was sleeping with the sling for a week.

I go in tomorrow for surgery. 🤞🏽😔 scared as shit man lol
How'd it go? Update?
Marcus Aurelius hey man. I am actually doing a lot better than I thought. I still gotta get my stitches out but everything is clean for the most part. Can’t wait to gain full control of my arm again
when you wake up are out of it or aware of everything
I was aware of everything going on around me. Really, it felt just like waking up in the morning; just a little groggy at first and almost wanting to sleep a little more but you're aware of everything. You'll get a wave of "alright, I'm good to go", but don't be fooled by this as it only lasts about 15 minutes and then all you want to do is sleep some more. Think of how you feel when waking up after taking allergy medication like Benadryl or flu medicine like Nyquil.
When I woke up after mine I threw up twice. Then got up and walked out.
I had mine done 5 weeks ago. I had a bankart fracture. 11 anchors for the labrum and a screw for the bone. Really wish mine was arthroscopic but ended up being open
Open is tough, from what I hear, but sounds like you needed it. Hows the recovery going?
I got a surgery 3days ago.
I'm glad this video series has offered a point of reference for you. Good luck with your recovery!
I met a guy that had a 340 tear and he got nine anchors in.
I had the surgery about 6 days ago and I ended up having 9 anchors in

I have one more question though, I am a varsity athlete and senior year is coming up and this injury has made me get really out of shape.

You can always send me a "message" on here. That would be the best way to reach me, privately.
Thanks! isnt this public though?
I had a bankart labrum surgery 2 weeks back, and was trying to judge my progress with yours.

Never fun to not have the ability to do the things you used to be able to do.
