Going in tomorrow for shoulder cleanup and a couple tears. Good advise!

Thank you Doctor for making and sharing these videos. They have really helped me tremendously.

To remove permanent marker on whiteboard: Write over the permanent marker with white board marker, then erase as you would normally. Just passing on something I've seen.

I hurt my cuff and a few days later tingling

Anterior labrum Tate with avulsion ?! Orthopedic doesn’t recommend surgery.. yet, my line of work is physical.. I push , pull, carry patients down the stairs on a stair chair or which ever carry device is needed. I normally have discomfort at night or certain maneuvers. Physical therapy hasn’t helped. I will get a second opinion.

I am 40 years old professional Jiu-Jitsu guy. I have superior labor injury with Supraspinstus and infrasoanatis tear and AC joint osteoarthritis. He offered biceps tenodisis. I am not sure why I can not push and press up and it feels unstable during wrestling. I am not sure what should I do to comeback to actively I love

Spot on with everything !! Great advice and guidance!!! Thank you!

I just had a SLAP tear surgery with bicep tenodesis. It's been almost three weeks, my surgeon told me I don't need to wear my immobilizer anymore so I'm moving my shoulder more, but I still can't lift my arm very high. But I feel good about my recovery.

Thank you for this video! I'm nearly 3 weeks out from my surgery SAD/DCE, biceps tendonesis, debridement and manipulation for frozen shoulder. Your comments on comparison were just what I needed. I've been searching around every day for more info. I didn't realize going into this surgery how much pain and recovery I'd need. I thought I'd be one of those back to work in 1-2 weeks. Im still in pain, and my elbow still hurts too. I have a desk job, but its constant, fast-paced computer work in a high stress environment. I feel badly I misjudged and will be out at least 2 months, per my doctor now. Thanks again for this video.

The chemistry and interaction information is great. It would be helpful to include dosage range and forms of turmeric available as well.

I had bicep tenodesis surgery to repair a slap tear. During recovery, is it bad to clench muscles? I’m asking because constipation is rough being on the pain meds and I have found myself clenching a bit with my surgically repaired arm. Just worried I may be setting myself back in the recovery process.

How much bone is removed in distal clavicle resection

Nothing related to this video, but I had shoulder surgery done in February this year. If I were to out of interest email you a couple of the arthroscopic photos from the surgery, would you (from the images shown) comment on whether the articular cartilage (humerus/glenoid) looks normal? Obviously, these are only photos so I understand you can only comment on what the photo shows. My post op notes say the humerus and glenoid articular cartilage as "normal". Id be interested in your thoughts 🙂

what is the length of the subcapularis tendon body before it turns into musculotendinous, is it at the glenohumeral joint/glenoid labrum level that is the cutoff? basically its pure tendon that covers up the humeral head? Some of the sagittal images look like it's 50 percent muscle and 50 percent tendon and it looks close to the humeral head but i wonder what is the cutoff for that like at the level of the distal clavicle? I thought it was suppose to be beyond the pure tendon point of the medial edge of the humeral head that it becomes 50 percent muscle and 50 percent tendon?

Usually the labrum is shown just as a triangle at the corner in coronal and axial on MRI or textbook images so do those perspectives not show the circumferential labrum? Similar thing with the superior glenohumeral ligament and middle glenohumeral ligament where on axial or coronal they are shown partially at one side but then inferior glenohumeral ligament is shown complete from glenoid to humerus, so is the full length not shown MRI?

Complete full-thickness tears of supraspinatus and infraspinatus, with tendon retraction and intramuscular edema.

Yes I found this real interesting about tendon repair (at least as far as my procedure & probably most). I assumed the tendon would just get anchored to the bone as in an ACL or UCL but in this case my surgeon indicated they would be trying to reestablish the enthesis (btw GT & SST) and the anchors would become vestigial (hopefully). Hence remaining fairly immobile for the first few weeks post op. Always something new to learn I guess!

Unfortunately, it appears that Slumber Curve is no longer in business.

I drove after 3 days...just with one hand

Thank you! I'm 4 weeks post-op and counting down the days to go into the pool! I bought a mesh sling more so to identify my injury to others. I know I won't do much!

As always, thank you for the sound advice!

Wish my surgeon explained things this clearly it would make deciding to go ahead or not easier. I have a full thickness tear of the supraspinatus with some retraction. I get the impression from this that I could’ve made the decision to have surgery sooner rather than deliberating for months. I’ve never had categories explained like this.

Please speak slower next time.

My Regeneten patch failed miserably. Not only did it disintegrate inside the shoulder, the allegedly biodegradable staples were floating around, intact, doing more damage than the original accident. The repaired supraspinatus was lost, and when it went, it took my infraspinatus tendon with it. By the way, my surgeon kept telling me that my increased/non-resolved pain was due to the healing process when it was actually a failed repair. Had to demand an MRI at six months and that is when it was revealed that his repair failed. Two months later, another surgeon had to clean up that mess at which point the concern about humeral head migration came into play because the first surgeon also took down my CA ligament and now my shoulder is unstable. Trying a Stryker In-Space balloon in 10 days to see if I can retrain the remaining two rotator cuff tendons and my deltoids to keep my shoulder centered. Still baffles me that despite my profession, he still took down the CA ligament, adding 20-30% more force to the joint to keep it centered. I am a pro sports photographer and carry those large white lenses you see on the sidelines. If this spacer doesn’t work, my career is likely over. Not because of the original accident, but because of the damage done by the first surgeon going old school on me and thinking a collagen patch would be helpful. Went in with a partial thickness tear on one tendon and now I’m missing two complete tendons, have my bicep tendon tenodesis, an unstable shoulder and constant pain when I work from what appears to be bone on bone contact. Bottom line, that patch may work…but not for a complete reconstruction like I had apparently. If I only knew what I know now, no scalpel would have gotten anywhere near my shoulder because I am worse off today than when I first had surgery in 2022.

What clothes should you be wearing

Great video thanks what are your thoughts on SCR with torn and retraced supraspinatus and infraspinatus please? Does the infraspinatus have to be in intact?

I'm 2 weeks post rotator cuff surgery. And I'm experiencing sever psininthe muscles.

Have you seen patients with prior essential tremors, my tremors have been amplified .so much so it is a hard task to sign my name.

I was sent to pt the day after surgery then 2 days a week after, at about 4 weeks a different therapist quickly walked my arm above my shoulder and I believe she tore something back loose.

How about potassium, if your muscles cramp up can that cause them to retear

I was given celebrex and have hypertension my blood pressure at my post op visit was 200/100 and wasn't told that could be the problem.

Before I got surgery I had velcro sewed in place of buttons.

Thank you for your kindness and concern. 🙏

Hey, relevant video to my current issues. I had a shoulder arthroscopy a week ago, and I'm in a sling. Showering the first time after the three days was hard. So these I plan to try tonight.

Does the tendon actually grow back to the bone or does it just hang from the suture strings? Another question do you get phantom pains from having the tendon removed?

I was diagnosed 11 1/2 months after shoulder replacement with C Acnes infection. Going to see infectious disease doctor this week. Was already told by my surgeon that he will have to chip out all the hardware and replace with spacer for 3 months. Then do a reverse total shoulder replacement. Really not looking forward for all that extra pain. But in constant pain now so hopefully it will all end.

I have a concern. I am 10 weeks post-op ( rotator cuff surgery ) and I developed adhesive capsulitis, still suffering from constant pain that seems to be unmanageable by any means. 8 days ago, I received a steroid shot behind my shoulder. I felt almost instant relief during day one, but the day after my pain came back worse than prior receiving the shot and one week later I still feeling pain. The pain isn’t in the injection site, it takes my entire shoulder and it increases with every movement ( Having PT is a nightmare! ) and this is making anxious since I had steroid injections in the past, prior to surgery, and I never had this reaction before. I had this shot hoping it would relief my pain and help with my physical therapy,”. Doctor, could you please tell me if having this is normal? I’ll appreciate your response. 😢

When yr a first time patient it's important specialist surgeons explain what it is where in the shoulder is damage yr fixing so we understand what will happen or be happening thank for explaining this.

Thanks for the info!

I have a salt lamp on in my loungeroom at night to help with light & one in my bedroom so I don't struggle with dark through the night when getting up to go to the toilet or get a drink.

Will my surgoen explain all this to hubby too as he'll be looking after me or will heor I get paperwork explaining do's & don't's. after my surgery I'll be soo anxious n scared. I'm having 3 things done to shoulder now.

Thank you for your informative video. Watching 8 weeks after my biceps tenodesis for a full tear of long head. Currently following Brigham rehabilitation and recovering well. Very thankful to my surgeon Dr. Harish

How long you wait for surgery is not up to you - at least not where I live - I had to wait 14 weeks after an injury.

Mine is coming up on the 30th. NHL surgeon will perform the operation. It will be my second by such a surgeon (different body part)Here’s hoping I get the same care and attention as the Jillion dollar players do!!

Thank u for speaking slower I can understand what u r saying.

I've been waiting 4 months now Dr had me go for a month of physical therapy before scheduling a MRI

Hey, take a dry erase marker and trace the area that you made the mistake on... then wipe it with a wet cloth. Repete process... It will come right off.. I cannot take pain meds due to my digestive issues...🫤😕

Hi Doctor, now it's the 3rd week after the surgery. Physiotherapy exercises cause serve pain and muscle swelling. I am taking opiad pain killers but no relief. Should I stop the exercises ?
