Steve Shimanek Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I had surgery 3 weeks ago to repair a torn rotator cuff on my left shoulder; still pretty sore and very limited range of movement. Can't do much, which is driving me crazy.... Who else has had this done and how long did it take before you were able to get back to pounding metal?

Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 My 14 year old son had it done last year and it took about six months before he could do anything. Don't push it listen to the Doctor even though you may feel better your still healing,and if you re- injuried it you know what that means.

tzonoqua Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I don't know about rotator cuff, but I had carpal tunnel surgery a year ago last oct, and took a long time to heal. They said I'd be back at work at 6 weeks, but it turned out to be much longer. Dont' rush it, listen to your body, do the physio, go gently, and slowly get it exercised. You've only got one body and it needs taking care of!! Take the time to do all the other things!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
