Sorry to hear that. Just make sure you do all the rehab. It was mentally harder than physically for me. Seemed so boring lifting soup cans and little crap like that. Then I ended up feeling like I was good enough and just went heavy. Now I don't have nearly as much arm range as I should. I throw a baseball like a douche because the normal form hurts. Stick to the rehab haha. Good luck! It'll get better.

So I tore my labrum on my left shoulder about a year after I had surgery on the right shoulder. I decided not to have it fixed. I think the left feels just as good if not better than the right. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't rehab properly or maybe pushed the right one a little too far before it was ready after the surgery. I think if you stick to to the rehab it will have better results. My buddy had a stem cell kind of treatment on his and he is very happy with the results. Might be something to keep in mind as well. Good luck with everything!

Good luck! It really wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. The most discomfort I felt was when I was putting my socks on and fell off balance and naturally tried to throw my arm out to catch myself. So sit down when you put your socks on haha. If you have trouble sleeping on your back, I found wedging myself into the crack of the couch (bad shoulder up) the most comfortable. Stick to the rehab and I think it'll be a surprisingly smooth process. Good luck again!

Kevin Holker oh no! I’m sorry about the sock incident! I appreciate that small advice also! I have a very big and comfy recliner to sleep in, luckily.. so I think I will use that for the first few nights, I’m a bit scared to try laying flat on my back. So we will see! Thanks again and I’m glad to know you have done so well.

I nerves too....I running out from the surgery bed...

No way it not going to hurt like a bitch and time heals all wounds. Slow and steady, Tortise.

How is ur situation rightnow

I think you could get back to that if you are strict with rehab. I believe it is about a years worth of rehabbing so you might have a "waste year" where you just throw nice and easy. One thing you could look into that injection treatment where they take your blood, separate it and then inject it. Still will take a year of rehab and cost more but my friend had it done and he seems to way more satisfied with his treatment than I am with mine.

Ya, nothing seemed worthy of making a video of for a couple weeks. Then I ended up getting really sick (not related to the surgery) and once I recovered from that my wife had a baby. So I kinda forgot about the updates. Sorry

​@@kevinholker657: I understand, man. If you ever decide to give an update on how it all turned out, I'm sure a lot of viewers would be interested. Anyway, congrats on the baby!!

Hows your shoulder now

@@kevinholker657 how long did it take to fully recover?

Hows it going now buddy?

A little over 6 weeks, and still not sure. My doctor says, most people make the mistake of trying to build strength too quickly. What he's only concerned about is range of motion. Strength comes much later. My job requires physical strength and I was back at work after 5 weeks (was going broke) albeit careful as possible. Praying I haven't messed it up, and won't really know until 6 months. My advice to anyone getting surgery this is to take it real slow if you can.

I’m two weeks in, I had to quit my job man. Still live with my parents so it’s alright for now but man this is so annoying.

Probably a good idea. If I could go back, I would be a lot more careful. The 3-4 week mark is deceiving because you'll start to feel like you can go back to normal, but you can't. There's sensitive tissue in there which needs to heal slowly. I pushed it too soon and now i'm regretting it, because even after 6.5 weeks, my range of motion is very limited. Keep your sling on as long as your Dr says! It will help to remind you not to use the arm.

I think I had quit the pain meds after a few days. Didn't like how they made my head feel. My shoulder never really hurt when doing the therapy for some reason. It was kind of frustrating because I was expecting it to hurt and I would have to push through it but it didn't so it felt like I wasn't doing anything. It made it hard to take it slow and take it easy cuz it just never hurt.

It's pretty good. I can go as heavy as I want with lifting. Throwing is a little different. I never really worked on that so now I throw side arm and kinda pansy like but I'm sure if I worked on it it'd be fine. I do notice a "sloppy" feeling if I lay down on my side with my arm under me. Other than that i don't really notice it. My AC joint never got to where i wanted it. That gets a little tender when i lift but not terrible. My buddy had the stem cell procedure done with his tear and he is super happy with the results.

Good luck! The couch was the most comfortable for sleeping the 1st few nights for me. I'd wedge myself into it. Other than that, take it nice and easy, sit down when you put your socks on and get a loofah on a stick for showering. Be careful if you live in an area that has ice outside, that'd not be fun to slip. Hope it all goes well for ya!

So I still can't throw normal BUT I basically gave up on my baseball "career" once I did this. I'm 31 with a kid so it wasn't the hardest decision haha. My throwing is more side arm and short arm and before I threw much more over the top and long armed it (center fielder). One of the guys I played with had it done in the fall and he spent the next spring and summer rehabbing and throwing short distance nice and easy. Later in the summer he was able to pitch an inning or two but it wasn't until the next season he was fully back throwing mid/low 80's.

@@kevinholker657 IM a catcher on an over 30 team. Hopeing to be able to play next season...but more important, i want to be able to throw with my kid. Catch, BP etc do you think with diligent rehab that's possible?

@@davediamond9111 I think if you stick with what physical therapy you can get it back to normal. I stopped going basically when my daughter was born and I had a lot left that they wanted to work with me on. It was a much slower PT process than I expected which was a little frustrating. Basically any soreness they would tell you to stop and I wanted to work through it so I don't know how fast they can get you throwing. My shoulder also hardly ever hurt after the surgery for some reason so it was hard to go with such light weights and slow workouts. I wish I would've stuck with the PT longer.

@@kevinholker657 Would you recommend the surgery?

My shoulder clicks and pops too. And the pain feels deep in my shoulder. My shoulder feels really loose all the time though

I would go in and get an MRI for sure. It's probably slap tear(torn labrum) or rotator cuff. I don't know much about the rotator cuff. I don't remember my range of motion being limited but for me my AC joint was what bothered me the most. I've torn my left shoulder labrum since these videos and the range of motion seems fine. It feels loose/sloppy only if I try sleeping in a certain position with my arm across my body but otherwise it doesn't bother me. This probably doesn't help much but i would just go in and get an MRI and that will give you immediate answers. Good luck! Also check out Athlean X on UA-cam for some good videos on how to train with a bad shoulder. The guy has a ton of knowledge. Maybe just certain lifts will help?

Good Luck today! Hope all goes well!

Thanks a lot, @@kevinholker657 ! Surgery went great, and the nerve block is still in effect after 20 hours, so all is well. The Dr said that the biggest issue was my biceps tendon, and he repaired that, along with a small tear of the labrum, so he's pretty certain I'll feel MUCH better once I've recovered.

Good luck! I hope it goes well for ya. It turned out to be a lot better than I expected. Sit down when you put your socks on for awhile though haha. About 2 or 3 weeks after the surgery I was putting my socks on and almost tipped over for some reason, naturally I tried to throw my arm out to catch myself... that hurt like hell. Best of luck to ya!

It's pretty good. The only times I notice it is throwing something or sleeping. I'd imagine if you slowly start throwing and work your way into it that would be fine as well. The sleeping thing is if I'm on my side with that shoulder down and arm across my body. When I fully relax in that position it sometimes pinches. Other than that I never notice it. I kinda slacked on the physical therapy so that could be the reason for those problems also.

I think I showered about 3 or 4 days after surgery. Just make sure you take it slow and be careful. I can't imagine how bad it would feel if you slip a little and naturally try to catch yourself. I was able to lift my arm after a few days but they told me not to at physical therapy. It didn't hurt so they were afraid I'd screw it up without knowing.

I'm not sure if I was suppose to but I know the 1st time I ran was about weeks after surgery. I went for a walk and a storm rolled in unexpectedly so I jogged about a half mile home. It felt fine as long as I kept it held tight against my body. If I relaxed it then it would feel sloppy and painful.

Its been almost a year since i had the surgery and i would say that it is 90% good. That 10% is basically my range of motion which i mostly notice when im lying in bed with my arm in certain positions. I'm pretty sure if i would've continued my rehab and stuck with the program it wouldn't be an issue. Most likely my fault so my advice is just stick with the rehab. As far as strength goes, i would say im back to 100%. Good luck!

Kevin Holker thanks for all your input! How old were you when you got the surgery?

Apral Parker How are you doing after 7 months? I just scheduled my surgery for May 13th. Nervous about it.

Joseph Govi Good luck with everything! My biggest advice is be very disciplined on doing your physical therapy. I ended up slacking because I got really sick(flu) and then had a baby. Now I'm starting PT on my own again to get it closer to 100%. Every day life is fine but I do notice it when I sleep in certain positions. Best of luck to ya!

As far as the process goes, I started off pretty slow on the PT. Basically start with just slow slow stretches which to me felt kind of good as if you were sitting in a car for a long drive and finally get out and stretch. Once we started doing tiny weights it was hard for me more mentally than anything. I thought this would be a process where it would hurt and I was prepared to fight through the pain to get better. It was not. They took me through the process so slow it was hard to put myself in that mental zone. Usually with lifting you when it starts to get hard to do you fight through it for a few more reps. This was not the case. They want to get 3 sets of 25 or a set of 50 with pretty much ease and slowly move up in weight. I can't say exactly how the whole process is because I ended up getting really sick from something that was going around and that put me out for a couple weeks. Once I recovered from that my wife had our baby so I never ended up going back to the PT. My shoulder isn't exactly back to 100% still but I think that is due to my slacking. Where it lacks is full range where it gets a little tight going straight up. Other than that the strength is fine. I was able to put up 90 lb dumbbells for benching so that isn't an issue. I think that if you go through something like this and stick to a solid PT routine you could easily get back to 100% or damn close. I just had a few things get in the way and never got back on track.

Agent Orange Design no idea how i screwed my right shoulder up. Figured it was either from baseball or lifting but it wasn't something that happened all at once. But since i did this video i did tear my left shoulder labrum while playing some pond hockey. Fell backwards and put my arm back to catch myself. So apparently i just have pansy labrums or something.

Andres Jimenez surgery was oct and it is now late May. Shoulder feels great most of the time. I slacked on my physical therapy due to getting really sick then had a baby . I think because of that I never truly got back my full range of motion. Straight up feels a little tight still but other than that its great. If I do a heavy lifting session it feels a little sloppy when i completely relaxit but not terrible. Overall its pretty good. Tore my left labrum during the recovery process when I fell on the ice so thats a bummer but what can ya do. I would just recommend being strict on the physical therapy. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Kevin Holker man it helps a lot. Do you think impact sports like boxing will be possible eventually ?

Andres Jimenez I definitely think if you are disciplined enough for boxing you could come back from this.

Kevin Holker i will go through the physical therapy starting tomorrow thank you and God bless you and your family

Kevin Holker you tore ur left labrum aswell? Are u planning to get surgery for that too??

camae pollock I took a small dose of exlax... it worked lol

steve No I never used one for PT
