[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2788439, member: 10465"] I had arthroscopic surgery about 8 years ago to repair a torn rotator cuff on my right shoulder, and a problem with my acromion (pointy end of shoulder bone?), that was causing it to tear my bursa sac. The fellow I used was Dr. Thomas Flesher III at Orthopedic Associates here in OKC. He said it was one the worst he'd ever seen after the MRI and once he got in there and checked it out. He also found a poorly healed old break in my clavicle from my Marine Corps days when I broke it and didn't/couldn't get it fixed right and it kind of just healed on its own. Anyway, he scoped me through five small incisions, I wore a sling for 3 or 4 weeks, I think, then a little Physical Therapy and it was all good. That is, until the last few months or so now and it is bothering me pretty good again. Can't put too much pressure on that shoiulder and I have a problem with certain motions, like Okie4570 says above. My right elbow and right hand gets all weird and painful/numb at times and a couple of my fingers on my right hand will sometimes just lock up somewhat, so I guess I am going to go have it checked out again pretty soon. The surgery itself was nothing, the recovery was minimal, and the outcome was good, at least it has been okay now for the last 8 years or so until it has flared up again. Sugeries like that can suck, in that after a few years, you develop scar tisssue and artritis can set in around breaks and repaired areas and etc. [/QUOTE]
