Thanks. And good luck to you 👊 I’m at 6 months now and still have issues. I’ll upload a third vid soon with the ups and downs and possible nerve damage from surgery 😔
Hey bud, we have had a few comments before. You were also planning to put a surgery update, waiting for that. I was seeing a surgeon today, he recommended two options: one light and "painless" - the same as yours, said 4 weeks and i am good... right :), second reconnecting ligaments, if the first one doesn’t work. Were you also suggested both, mate? How are you these days?
I was not suggested both. 4 weeks 😳🤣 but yea I’m the same and actually having issues with rhomboid area near left shoulder blade and numbness running down my arm. Seeing chiropractor atm. When I’m better I’ll start doing pressing movements and see what the hell will happen. I’m tired of feeling like an invalid. It will either make it or break it. As soon as I’ve done some pressing movements, and see how it holds up, I will upload another update video…just haven’t had any changes really in exercises so haven’t had anything new to report. Keep u posted 👍
Hello Dima. I was suggested the 2 option as well! 1 - Distal clavicule excision and 2 - Distal clavicle excision with reconstruction of the ac ligaments. He told me that the first I will be very good in 2 months and the 2 option 4 months. But what i am seeing on the Internet is the people 1 full year to recovery from those surgeries. What option have you chose? What do you think is the best option for you?
Sorry to hear that man, looks like we are in the same boat. I just uploaded a 6-month post-op video, and basically I can’t do anything in the gym involving my left arm, and I can’t go across my chest, so sleeping on the side is painful. I found swimming, so I do that as often as I can….I miss the gym like crazy but at least the swimming makes me feel somewhat sane again 🤷♂️😵💫 I’m hoping 2022 will be better for us than 2021.
Thanks for checking. You have quite the surgery ahead of you…man that is going to be brutal, I hope you have some good people around you who can help out, and I wish you all the best of luck with it. I have not improved much the last 2 months…steady pain when trying to use the shoulder for more than the every day use. I can’t lift or reach up high over my head without some level of pain, very frustrating. I have started swimming a few times per week and that feels good doing some exercise again…however, I can’t wait to get back to lifting some weights…when, I’m not sure 😞
No good news unfortunately 😩 10 months later and still pain when doing exercises and lifting stuff up. Possible nerve damage. Hoping for a miracle 2022 🤞🤞🤞
Sorry man. Seems that is a common thing with us all….I’m 16 months post op now and still can’t do much shoulder or chest press. I can do pulls. How’s yours feeling atm?
@@DanesinTexas if i dont do workouts or other strenuous stuff its fine - i rushed into surgery - it was a mistake - the surgeon didnt tell the potential side effects
Thanks for the comment. As of now, it was not worth it…but I’m hopeful that better times are ahead 🤞🤞🤞 I can still only do light back exercises and swimming. Pressing movements and Carrying heavier items is a no go still.
I just had the surgery 3 weeks ago. It went great. I have had no pain unless I lift something heavier than 20 pounds over my head. I use resistance bands a lot. Sorry to hear you had so much pain.
Thanks for checking in on my progress 🙏 unfortunately here 4 months later, there are still quite a bit of pain and I’m not able to do weight bearing above head at all. Going back to see doc in a few weeks for a game plan going forward…just hoping I will heal up in the near future and go back to somewhat normal 🤞🤞😬😬
@@DanesinTexas have faith brother I know you will recover wishing you the best for your recovery! I might be going through the same situation as you about to get an mri.
@@ricardozambrano1957 thank you 👊 and I really hope your MRI shows some good news and no surgery is needed 👍 I’m going to give it two more months before trying other possible treatments.
@@DanesinTexas I've seen videos and they it usually take about 6 months for pain to start going away 🤞🙏🏽..keep doing therapy with your shoulder dont let it freeze up. Can you lift anything heavy at all?
@@ricardozambrano1957 I can only lift if shoulder isn’t moving. Like carrying grocery bag etc. hoping a few more months and I’ll be back doing some light lifting…miss it 😑 but yes, I do flexibility work, just can’t do too much then the bone is so tender several days after and it effects everything I do!

Great vid, I’m having my surgery in September. Glad I have a recliner
Thanks. And good luck to you 👊 I’m at 6 months now and still have issues. I’ll upload a third vid soon with the ups and downs and possible nerve damage from surgery 😔
Brother u had rotor cuff surgery on same arm on which u had distal clavicle resection ?
No, on the other shoulder (my right one). Left shoulder was the distal. Shitty genes and Elite tennis is not good for the shoulders 👎👎👎

@@paulo_augusto Hey Paulo, did you do the surgery?
I’m 10 weeks post op of acromioplasty & mumford surgery. Still severe pain. Haven’t been able to go to the gym in 15 months. How are you doing?

Oh that’s so neat!
Do you have any updates to how you feel? I'm likely to have a Mumford, bicep tenodesis and Labral repair in the next month.

@@DanesinTexas thanks brother! Keep plowing through it, looking forward to your updates. No I’m not looking forward to mine either not at all lol.
@@Peter_Wang Thank you 👊 I’ll make a 6 month update video in the near future…. Hoping for some better recovery soon 👍
Hi brooo. How are you?? Give me news.. 📰
No good news unfortunately 😩 10 months later and still pain when doing exercises and lifting stuff up. Possible nerve damage. Hoping for a miracle 2022 🤞🤞🤞
OH MY God🤦🏻♂️ I am in a similar decision whether to operate or not. Maybe even the long head. All uncertainties .. Good all to you bro🙏💪🏽😎
@@raimondodeluca3968 thank you, I’m able to do light back workout atm, but still pain and tenderness on bone quite often….devastating stuff.
had mine done a year ago - didnt go well

@@stupidrepublicans sounds all too familiar 👎
Thank you. I look forward to more updates and your recovery. Looking back to before and now, would you say the surgery was worth it?

I’m hoping to get back to normal soon 😵💫😵💫😵💫 I might have some nerve damage that needs to heal, but time will tell
@lonnie What kind of pain, ROM, strength issues did you have prior to surgery? In other words, what was the reason for surgery?
How is your recovery going? Hopefully everything is going great with your recovery and heal 100٪
