Major setback

Had some shoulder cutting done. Doc though I had a SLAP tear but it was not. Had a big bone spur removed and she cut my long bicep tendon....it was shredded and could not be re-connected. She left all of the arthritis in it, said if she removed it that my body will just regenerate it. If the arthritis had been worse she would have cleaned it out. Therapy went well, except for when he told me that I will very likely need a replacement down the road. Get it moving as early as you can. It has been clicking a lot as of late. Seen her last week, took a few pictures. I now have two bone spurs in the acromioclavicular joint as well as a crap load of arthritis in the same joint. Was told to live with it, if she messes with it things will get worse instead of better.

Listen to the therapist. They started movement with me the day after surgery. First couple of weeks were just range exercises. Make sure you have plenty of bags of frozen peas/corn or what ever you chose for ice. Seemed like if I kept it iced after therapy the pain was very minimal. Good luck in your recovery. Just wondering, do you have a pillow under your sling? That things was such a pain in the a**. Don't know how many times I walked by the counter and cleared it off....
