has anybody ever had sugery on the shoulder?I have a torn rotator cuff and have limited use of my arm.?

Question

I dislocated my should 2/15 and have been going to phy. therapy but theres been no improvement.Now my doc says I also have frozen shoulder.so he has me set up for surgery in 2 wks and says he has to go in and clean it up and perhaps He might have to do it again in the future.Am I going to get any good improvements after such surgery,some people have said they doubt it.Also I pay for my own insurance and it seems that its a fight all the time,but do insurances have limited trips for therapy?I have tto start all over again after the surgery.I guess i'm looking for some uplifting news.Thanks.

Answer 1

I had the surgery for a torn rotator cuff about 6 years ago because PT and cortizone injection didn't work. The PT afterwards was rough but well worth it. I have full range of motion back and did within 2 months of PT afterwards. Most insurance companies do have limits on PT per incident. Since you will have surgery, it should be considered a new incident but call your insurance company to be sure.

Answer 2

i have not in any respect had a torn rotator cuff, yet my husband has. A torn rotator cuff is a lot extra acute, i.e. the soreness is unexpected and extreme, no longer continual like you're describing. Your situation sounds extra like a repetetive rigidity harm of a few form. Or in all likelihood backbone compression on your top again. verify which include your well-being care service or chiropractor.

Answer 3

I am one of the fortunate ones. I just finished therapy for the very same thing. Tho the Dr said I may have to have surgery somewhere down the road. He is giving me shots also. I have
almost my full range back. I wonder if more therapy might work for you?

Answer 4

I'm going through something similar. I would try a different physical therapist for a second opinion. I have been doing 3 weeks of therapy and am barely getting progress. But it is progress. Good luck!!

Answer 5

The price of shoulder surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.


Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
