[QUOTE="FullAuto, post: 2788400, member: 5110"] Not for a rotator cuff, but for a torn labrum (initially). You don't want to hear my results or recovery times. I was that small minority they don't want to mention. Lots of people have great results with little to virtually no loss of use. The only thing I'd strongly recommend after going through the hell I did, is get opinions on the doctor by people other than patients. Physical therapists are good to get opinions from. They see the results of lots of doctors and can tell you whose patients have better outcomes. I went through a ton of stuff I shouldn't have went through because what I thought was typical was not. But since I had no experience in what to expect, I just went with it. That cost me much more pain and permanent problems. Going to a different doctor and using all different facilities the second time around (10 weeks later) really opened my eyes to just how bad I was treated at the first place. For a shoulder, I'd recommend James Conway at OSSO. He's a shoulder only guy too and from what I heard from several therapists, he's the guy that fixes other doctors screw-ups; which is exactly what he did with me (to the best of his ability). If anyone refers you to Orthopedic Associates on NW 50th & I-44, I'd recommend just doing the surgery yourself. You won't fix anything, but you won't **** as much stuff up either. [/QUOTE]
