@drgnslayr-My injury was incapacitating to say the least. When I injured myself I immediately knew I was hurt bad, but not really how severe. Tried to put up with it for about 3-4 months, then as sleeping & getting dressed became more & more impossible, made the Dr appt. He actually told me before the xrays & MRI that he has a similar, but lesser RC injury from, of all things, playing BB, & that he would not have the surgery until it became unbearable because the recovery & therapy Gorilla are just too great. He knew what he was talking about for damn sure. Your arm weight is around 15# give or take, & I could not even raise my arm above my waist so really had no choice. After the surgery was even much worse but I’ve really become to sound as a stuck record describing the situations, so I apologize for appearing as such a wuss & drama queen. This is actually a very common injury for us older people due to decades of wear, tear, & repetitive motion, but is truly a surgery that one should fully consider consequences before going through with it.
