maddmaxx ★ Posted October 26, 2021 Share #25 Posted October 26, 2021 I had what first appeared to be rotator cuff injuries a couple of years ago. It turned out that it and some subsequent shoulder problems on both sides involved nerves being pressed by the surrounding shoulder structure. A significant amount of PT and some training on what to do in the gym to prevent more problems seems to have done wonders. The longer I can keep this old body from completely falling apart the happier I am. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted October 26, 2021 Share #31 Posted October 26, 2021 Sorry to hear it. I've had both rotator cuffs operated on. The acromion bone than runs to the shoulder has a sharp hook at one end in 60% of people. It is something I have and it's known to be a frequent cause of shoulder-area muscle and ligament damage when the area is inflamed and tissue gets pressed against the hook. So my surgeon trimmed and rounded each one and also clipped an unneeded ligament also known to cause problems. He also stretched my left supraspinatus tendon - the one that runs over the shoulder - farther down the humerus (upper arm bone) so it had a longer area to grow into the bone, and he reattached the tendon with 10 blue permanent stitches tied into two ceramic screws that were put in my humerus. I'm now an improved model of myself My doc is the team physician for a Baltimore Orioles' AA affiliate team. He said he's never seen a major or minor league baseball player with the hook-ended acromion bone - which he also has. Apparently, it takes those of us who have it out of the running before we'd get to the minor leagues. The last surgery was in 2017 and he said there was not the slightest evidence of arthritis in the shoulder. I hope that keeps up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted October 26, 2021 Share #33 Posted October 26, 2021 That stinks! Work at that PT, avoid the surgery! I've done that far too often. Tweaked the right side again last week. Was feeling better, just got out of the pool. Sore, but healing. So I suppose I should avoid doing laundry for a while. A year would be good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted October 26, 2021 Share #41 Posted October 26, 2021 I strained both of mine on 2 consecutive serves in a volleyball game about 25 years ago. No MRIs but they said not torn. A few months of PT. My mobility and strength returned. Tried to return to VB. I would feel fine before the matches but it would take me the whole week to recover. Decide that was no way to live so I gave up the game. Hoping the best for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
