I had an arthroscopic labrum repair + remplissage on Monday, it’s now Saturday and I have almost full range of motion (besides above my head, can raise my arm to about a salute height) and no pain/weirdness on any angle. I’m going to call my doc + book in for physio on Monday to ask for medical opinions but is this normal? Did anyone have an especially speedy recovery and get their sling off sooner than originally anticipated, or is this just normal progression and I’m blinded by hubris?

Short story;

Right shoulder replacement went bad. Original surgeon and outside second opinion is, remove and replace with a reverse shoulder.

Original surgery was in January. Next surgery is in two weeks.

Anyone experience this?

is it normal to have lingering numbness in fingers after nerve block wears off?

so far this has been a lot easier than my left cuff repair!!

I've have had two shoulder surgeries since April 2025. My pain and ROM have not improved. So, now, my surgeon thinks I may also have an issue with my cervical spine due to cervical radiculopathy that has developed. Has anyone developed cervical spine or other spinal issues after shoulder surgery? My surgeon did not state what the issue could be (herniated disc, pinched nerve, etc). I have no idea what to expect, I'm just exhausted.

I’m curious to hear how much time others have taken off work who have primarily stationary positions. I work at a computer all day and do have a moderate amount of mouse work that I do as my job is writing and design heavy. I had rotator cuff repair, bicep tenodesis, and some labrum + inflammation cleanup. I decided to take three weeks off. I am currently almost at the two week mark and just tried to do a little bit of mailbox cleanup before my arm started stinging.

Hey guys so I'm 22 male

Boxed as a kid and dislocated my right shoulder about 7 times my left about 3

Got my MRI aethogram and results are as said in the title. I train hard in the gym and I do get really clicky shoulders. Not so much pain but definitely clicks and instability. I'm waiting to hear back from a specialist to book surgery. I'm just worried about what to do cause it's not affecting my life with what I do but I would love to get back into boxing and just not worry about them dislocating. Please any help/advice anything you guys have on wether I should have the surgery or leave it and things like that thanks everyone..

I had labrum repair surgery 10 years ago. It took about two years to finally feel complete. Fast forward to now. I started lifting again and I got a job in construction pulling cable. Everything has been good for about six months. One day I waving towards myself, with my palm facing upward ( if anyone can picture this. My arm was completely twisted, while I waved. Hope it makes since) and my arm like vibrated and almost felt like a funny bone. Then at some point I slept on my neck wrong and for 3 days I could t move my neck. That pain went away. All the pain went away. But now my one shoulder I had on the surgery on is fatigued all the time. My deltoid. My trap. Driving. My grip strength is down. I have an MRI on Monday. But I’m just super worried something is fucked up. That I am going to have to switch careers .. again. That I am going to get told I shouldn’t lift. Idk. Looking for any info. Thanks

> 6 weeks - Sling on all day except pt which consist of only two exercises. Bicep curl and forearm rotations.

> Physiotheraphy begins post 6 weeks

> Post 3 months - Light gym lifting starts (strengthening)

> Post 6 months - Heavy gym lifting

> Post 9-12 months - Back to Sports

I read a lot about the recovery timelines online and found out sports can be started as soon as 4 months post surgery. How realistic is it. Also what can i expect when someone says back to sports, is it just light training or all in for competitions??
