Shoulder Surgery

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

View attachment 403334

Well, I finally did it - rotator cuff repair, labral tearing/fraying repair, tendonosis, and shoulder decompression/bone spur removal. While it sucks that I had to sacrifice the last half or so of ski season, the timing is such that I should be doing pretty well by next hunting season. I'm about 2 weeks post-op at this point. Loosing my mind from boredom and sleep depravation. I'm told I should be able to bowhunt again, once all healed up and rehabed, so that's encouraging - haven't been able to effectively do much with a bow for the last several years.

I’m down for the count right now as well , but my recovery is 4-6 weeks sounds like , started having heel pain in late October 24 and like a guy just put it off and dealt with it , by October of 25 I knew I needed surgery for what ever it was but I wasn’t gonna miss hunting season , figured I’d suffered this long another few months ain’t gonna make a difference

After X-rays and an MRI the jury was still out on what was growing in my right heel , had my exploratory surgery earlier this week and they pulled a 1.18 inch lipoma out of my heel ! Crazy


I’m sure everyone will feel sorry for me having to sit on the couch for all of March Madness ha ha ha

Looking forward to hiking again later this year, I love to just go exploring in new spots didn’t hike at all last year till hunting season and I was usually limping a half mile in for the rest of that day in the field ….. yee Yee

Get well soon @Brian in Montana

Cheers to sitting around getting fat ! I’m gonna be going mental and and climbing the walls in the near future

My doctor said surgery MAY help, but he said it may open up Pandora's box also, at my age, then 70... My right shoulder was worse, but I could hardly put on my shirt or even adjust my ball cap. I opted out on the surgery and did some Thyerpay and took a shot in the right one.
20 months of rehab and its tolerabal, and I can shoot and carry my own gun. IT sucks when your body gets old, and your mind doesn't. It did make me build a gas-powered game cart...

Get a second opinion!

I have had both shoulders done...
