    I'm 2 years post TSR. I am absolutely over the moon with the outcome. I can now do everything I want to do - swimming, strength work in the gym, overhead work...anything. My range is about 85-90% of normal, I hardly notice the deficit. I did lots of rehab post surgery with a slow build over about 18 months to get to where I am now. And NO MORE PAIN 😁

      Hi Barbara. I'm scheduled for TSR and am terrified! Like you, I'm an active person and an 18 month recovery sounds too formidable. When did you start to get comfortable doing light resistance work in the gym? How about lifting any kind of a weight overhead? Thanks in advance for any insights you may be able to give me.

      @@Thetruthhurts708 it is a pretty daunting thought. I got to the point I couldn't sleep because of the pain so accepted it had to be done. I was terrified of the outcome as I hadn't been able to find anyone with my lifestyle that had been through a TSR. The surgeon wasn't prepared to say I would be able to get back swimming successfully and that just made me more determined 😃 (swimming is my main, lifelong sport and greatest love). I did very little strength work for the first 6 months, it was all low resistance working range (bands and in the water using water resistance). The following 6 months was back in the gym with my physio building strength with some limited, controlled overhead work and back swimming trying to get back good technique. 12-18 months my phsio pretty much told me to do anything I can as long as it wasn't causing pain. I started in the gym properly, building into bigger weights and worked hard on my technique in the pool while building my fitness. The last 6 months have been great, no restrictions. Big weights in the gym. Even swam a 20 kilometer open water race in a team of 2 (ie:10k each) in February this year (22 months post TSR). It's a long journey but I could feel improvement right through the first 18 months. I still think I have some improvements to come, although smaller and probably through the strength I'm gaining in the gym. Get yourself a good physio, someone who knows you and what your long term goals are and work with them; I pushed my physio as much as she pushed me. She held me back initially because I wanted to push too hard too early. My physio is also a world class athlete so definitely had the understanding and I respect her opinions. I will never be as good as I was before my TSR but I'm pretty rapt with what I am able to do. Thanks for reaching out to me. If you want to know anything more I'm happy to help. All the best with your journey 👍

      Hey guys, I'm ready to have this done because currently I can no longer function, sleep without great pain. I've had arthroscopic surgery in the past and a knee replacement. My question is how long will I stay at hospital after surgery and how bad is the pain the first few days/weeks afterwards? I accept the fact that rebab is painful, but my main concern is for the first few days post surgery. I ask because doctors are now hesitant to prescribe opioids for more than a day or two. I just don't want to be in pain because the doctor won't prescribe the medication that works well. Thanks in advance.

    • @brucechandler5480
      @brucechandler5480 3 місяці тому

      @@Cap-ku6ok The rehab is not bad but it is a much slower process to get full functionality. The pain is not really a problem but the six weeks of immobilization, particularly at night, is the worst part of the operation. Most doctors will give you a week of opioids and if they don’t, ask for them. One week will not addict you.

    Wow, you Docs are covering a lot of my medical issues! But then at 68 yo and always having been a very active person, it kind of goes with the territory. I had a total reverse shoulder replacement in October of '20. I fell when I tripped over a concrete island while pumping gas into my car. Landed totally on my left shoulder and heard a snap. It tore the main tendon off completely. Also, I've had both knees replaced and the shoulder was WAY longer to recover from. I still haven't gotten the strength back like it should be, but overall I'm happy with it. I would like to suggest something that wasn't mentioned, no matter what replacement you get, always, always, always do the exercises that the doctor prescribes for you. I do them faithfully and have no regrets. I know some people who do not and have had some terrible outcomes. PS - I bought a mountain bike and I'm beginning to learn to ride the trails.

    Another great video! With lots of information and explanation about shoulders!
    Several years ago I had a frozen shoulder, some of the worst pain I've ever had. A Medrol dose pack seemed to get it moving again .
    A couple of years ago it started acting up again, thankfully not as bad, and I had an injection. Ten months later the injection didn't help.
    Then more recently, the others shoulder started giving me problems. Mostly pain and range of motion declining. I've been having PT and OT on it and have reduced the pain and increased the range of motion. But now that it's feeling better, the other shoulder is back to hurting with little range of motion.
    Of course I'm in the prime age group for the current symptoms. But after having back and neck surgery in the past couple of years, the thought of shoulder surgery isn't something I care to do any time soon.
    As long as I can keep reducing the pain and increasing my ROM, can I possibly delay having surgery?
    I've had x-rays of both shoulders and both are in bad shape. And with them trading places for giving me aggression, I'm not sure which one would be first for surgery. At this time my doctor hasn't referred me to a surgeon, although he's talked about it as the next step.
    Am I really buying time or is surgery inevitable with my history?
    Thanks for sharing another great video!

    Hi Docs, followed you before with my 2x TKR over the past year and a half. Much good info and hope I gave out patient pre and post tips help afterward. Now what happened to me. Used a walker for about 2.5 yrs while waiting for the TKR, post the 2nd one, my arms started showing impingement pain and then the shoulders (both) involved a cpl months later. MRI, ct scan and xrays show some arthritis but both rotator cuffs are torn due to constant pressure from the walker on them. My knees were reaklly bad according to my surgeon so there was a lot of pressure dragging myself with the walker. Not sure if "The motion is the lotion" using a walker so long was good in my case. Good info for some patients with really bad knees to be aware of. Taking Melaxican then just got a cort injection in each shoulder last week. So far they helped tremendously with pain and it is systemic wherever I was hurting. See the doc in 6 weeks and we go from there. I sure do not want more replacements, feel like the bionic woman. 73 female here btw.

    Does the cobalt chrome metal ever cause an inflammatory reaction? I had a friend with a hip replacement with cobalt that had to have the first one replaced because of a reaction to cobalt.

    Years ago I had a minor tear in one of the ligaments between the clavicle and scapula. I could not raise my arm, and excruciating pain on left shoulder and arm. My physician prescribed oral steroids but it did not help. A coworker had gone to Canada on vacation and picked up Voltaren (3.2%), he gave me a tube and this cured the anti-inflammation causing the pain. Afterwards my arm movement went back to normal. I think I endured the pain for 2-3 months until I used Voltaren.
    I told my doctor of Voltaren and unfortunately in the US the dosage is half from what Canada and other countries prescribe. 😳
    If my pain was this bad for a slight tear of a ligament I can’t imagine how much more the pain when the ball joint is rubbing against the joint.

      Hi 1979KitKatt. It is also called adhesive capsulitis. It causes the shoulder to be very stiff and swollen. Usually physio and pain control. It can be very slow to improve but usually will. Sometimes a cortisone injection is needed. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
