Recovery Question- 40 yo, Active Gym Guy, Acute Supra and Infraspinatus Full Tears -
I had an acute injury in the gym about five or six weeks ago, come to find out I have complete tears of both the infra and supra spinatus. Oddly enough there was pain, but it initially improved and did not limit me to where I was back working out the next week and have been since.
It wasn’t until because of the compromise shoulder. I had a full long-head bicep tear that caused me to look into it and found all of these.
Now I am looking at a surgery for repair for all of this.
My range of motion is mildly limited at this point, and the pain is pretty mild, but it’s constant and I know it will only degenerate further if I do not get the surgery.
Can I expect to get back to where I am physically now after the surgery or am I looking at definite loss of range of motion and weakness, etc.?
Has anybody else gone through something similar and been in the same physical state as myself that can relate or would know what I realistically can expect?
This is horrible news that came on abruptly and suddenly, and I am absolutely not prepared for this mentally or psychologically.
