I had rotator cuff surgery 15 months ago and then I had a revision surgery to clean up some of the stitches, labrum tear, and some fraying about 4 weeks ago.

I’m still having pain, but mostly when I’m sleeping at night (I sleep on my stomach with a pillow under that arm.)

The pain seems to get better when I work out the muscle a lot and I’ve been rehabbing it a lot at the gym. Does anybody know what could be going on or had a similar experience?

One year postop for a supraspinatus tear and still having pain at end range of motion. I got my mri and it’s still healing and shoes a few minor degenerative changes like the muscle thinning and a small labrum tear. Anyway my surgeon doesn’t know what’s causing the pain but suspects it’s the hardware or surgical area needs clean up. He said he doesn’t recommend injections and that wouldn’t help. I’m 41 btw. Anyone else had this?

How can I get restarted again in my career: I did my internship about 14 years ago and then have been at stay at home parent with some part-time jobs but nothing in the lab. I’m wanting to get back into it but not sure how. I’m still ASCP certified, but will likely need a fair amount of training.

Do I need to apply to Night Shift to get in? I’ve applied for specimen processor and haven’t even heard back about that.

Does anyone else still have Pain using a mouse or sleeping on your stomach one year postop?

I’m 40 f and married and finding life to be monotonous. I’m starting w new job in a couple weeks so I’ve been a bit isolated unemployed ( was a stay at home mom).

Who wants to chat about life? I’m into dancing, movies, cats, outdoors, trying to gym more.

I tried to figure out discord for chatting and couldn’t, but if anybody has a recommendation for like older people that wanna chat like the old days, let me know. We used to have instant messenger.

Has anyone had a persistent crunchy feeling when externally rotating? I’m not sure what to do about it but it’s driving me crazy it feels like it’s snagging.

So I’m 10 months postop now and I wouldn’t say that my shoulder hurts. It just only does at night and I have to have the perfect set up with pillows for it not to wake me up. Other than that, it just feels weak all the time and I’m still preferring my non-dominant arm.

Is there a time when I’ll feel back to normal or is this just gonna be a permanent feeling of crunchy weakness in my arm? I’ve had a CT scan and they said it was healing normally from what they could see, but I haven’t been able to have an MRI yet.

I’m currently unemployed/ a stay at home parent and very bored. Had a falling out with some friends last year and have been trying to make new ones. Anyway I need friends to chat! I like comedy movies, outdoors, dancing, cats. I’m married F and have two kids. If you’re bored and wanna talk about life chat me up.

Also don’t be gross nsfw or ill block

Has anyone had luck getting back into the workforce after many years? I’ve been out except for part time here and there for 14 years. What kind of jobs other than retail are accepting us?

I have my degree in biology and still no one is hiring me!

Hi I’m in Austin TX and really needing to find a job. I have my Ascp MLS certification from 14 years ago but haven’t worked in a lab bc I was a stay at home mom.
Anyway I tried for a lab assistant position and even got rejected for that!

Can anyone help? I know CPL is the major place to work other than hospitals. I think it would help to know someone

No nsfw crap pls

Is anyone else still having issues when trying to sleep with the pain waking you up?

My CT scan showed that it was healing fine but I couldn’t get an MRI and if I lay on my side or my stomach, it’s still wakes me up in pain
