    Thank you for this video. I am 12 days out from a total reverse shoulder replacement. I just can’t believe the pain. This device in my shoulder is killing me! Your video is telling me to slow down. This is going to take some time. Thank you.

    Spot-on, relatable and what I needed to hear. Longtime endurance athlete, 64, total shoulder about 2 weeks ago. Aleady climbing the walls, and trying to wrap my head around how long recovery will actually take.

      Lifetime fitness is such a benefit in recovery - so long as you don't compare to past performances. I was able to return to triathlon in 11 months. Wasn't competitive but glad to be in the arena. A year from now, you'll be ice climbing outside and thinking back to when you couldn't touch the top of your head. Happy recovery Jim!

    12 days out from total reversal. I have broken both of my legs, my arm and multiple ribs in my life and this really raises the pain bar. Had my first physio yesterday which I thought was very light duty but man, did the pain make a real comeback a few hours later. It’s going to take time. Sleeping is not really sleeping, it is something like semi consciousness. Upside is I have probably seen every you tube video that there is and can likely fix anything now.🇨🇦

      All surgeons are liying to you. Stem cells can completely heal your ligaments that are torn in your shoulder. The reason they don’t say anything about that is to make money off of you.

    Had shoulder reconstruction, rotator cuff, bicep and tricep detachment. Cleaning from arthritis. 3 months out and I still hurt. Sometimes worse than pre op. Still I have mobility problems. And my shoulder catches and pops. Still in theropy. Don't take pain pills because of addiction. Sometimes I wish I'd have left well enough alone. Dr said that every thing that was done, it might take a year before the pain goes completely away. Hope yours done great...

    Remy...this is such a great video. So a little background...been an avid weightlifter for 8yrs..in 2020 i broke my clavicle riding my 🚲. The shoulder Doc said its a stage 2 break so no surgery..let it heal..thats all. Fast forward now(2024) i was benching(bar) and my shoulder just collapsed and crunched. X-ray said no dislocation or broken bones...MRI said no torn ligament...now its been a month today(April 26th) and i got some mobility but i still cannot lift my arm above my head...though i could do pullups with a band now... I feel my shoulder very stiff when i lift my arm.
    My question is do you think by week 6(two more weeks to go) i can finally not feel stiff shoulder pain? Also i can't do surgery because im not covered.

    • @RemyBReel
      @RemyBReel  Місяць тому +1

      That sounds like a nightmare! So sorry to hear. To be clear, I am not a medical professional. I decided to get surgery as it seemed (to me) to provide the best return to sport with minimal long term setbacks. I also know that without coverage, it would cost a small fortune. Hope you find what is right for you

    As other people have said, trust in the doctors and trust in the process. You know what I've been through over the last year, (ruptured Achilles last November), and there were many times I wanted to push myself more then what they were saying, but I stayed patient and I was recovered and back where I wanted to be right on schedule. As you said, the last thing you want to do is mess it all up, and have to start back at square 1. Keep that in mind, and just take it one day at a time. You WILL be back out there soon, its just not today. Also, take solace in the fact that its getting cold out and who wants to be out in that crap right now anyways :P

    Five days after surgery going a little stir crazy haven’t missed the day in the gym in six years. I got a long road ahead of me mentally I’m not sure if I could deal with it. Getting some walks in now that’s about it. Very tied after Trying to keep my nutrition priority as well.

    I am 12 days post total reverse shoulder replacement. I was able to get off the pain killers by day 2. The worst part so far has been the swelling and the allergic reaction / rash that I got from the pre-surgery scrub they used. Looks and feels like poison oak/ivy.

      Happy to say that I can do *most* things that I used to be able to with different levels of ease. Backpacks are tough and I have to be mindful of how much weight is in there so the straps do irritate the shoulder after hours on the trail.
      Go on the hike! Just play it smart and don't overdo it. Hope your recovery is going well ❤️‍🩹

I went to the gym Saturday and today seeing what I could do some stuff hyper extensions dumbbell curls with my good arm tricep extensions sit ups of course no use of us surgically operated on shoulder, got it tucked in tighten my sling. I’ll see my orthopedic Wednesday and probably get my PT scheduled. I’m also using BPC 157. Hopefully it helps it’s a peptide.
