Had shoulder surgery in 2010. The band tore around the ball. I have lived with a lot of pain everyday since

[@janetturnbull2687]

Thanks for the concise explanations in all 3 of your shoulder videos. Very helpful.

[@kel8129]

I wished I would’ve seen all of your videos prior to my surgery. These are so right on. Thanks for the very informative videos

[@Nighthawk799]

Thank you! Ii just had reverse shoulder surgery and ypur informations are very useful.i subscibed your channel and i will follow your videos with much interest.Thanks again!

[@scottleahy]

Very extensive and good advice! Thank you!

[@heatherwells9030]

Personally, I would avoid the Benedril for itching. Instead use a newer antihistamine like fexofenadine Hcl. to avoid adding to anticholergenic burden. I plan to have my total reverse shoulderr replacement surgery as an out-patient, avoiding general anesthesia, opioids and IV sedation. Because I have been unsucessful in finding a high volume shoulder surgeon in the Pacific NW who is comfortable with what I'm asking for, I'll be going out of the area for mine. I am enjoying your video tips and am sure I'll find some of them useful when the time comes.

Watching your'e videos prepatory to my right shoulder replacement. I had bilateral knee replacement some years ago without a stitch of trouble. I was sent home with percoset to take as needed and to not wait until i was in pain before next dose. I was back to work full time (and off percocet) in 2.5 months. I did so well im anxious now...

[@ginabarlow3715]

Had rotator cuff repair, decompression, as well as removal of ac joint end surgery 4 days ago, I took those narcotics for 2 days. That stuff is awful and caused severe nausea & constipation, 6 days of no movement and ended up in the ER. I Just can’t understand how anyone gets addicted to it.

[@mightyrite]

free medical help wow thanks

[@teriwasson7464]

I am having shoulder surgery Tuesday Oct 24th. The surgeon has prescribed Oxycodone and I am allergic to Hydrocodone and afraid to take it.

[@pennytirello1400]

Just had this done! AWFUL PAIN! Had my left shoulder replaced and that was a breeze next to this rotator cuff repair! My tear was full thickness and they could not do arthroscopic.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

I have a full thickness tear also plus other ugly things going on in my shoulder like a SLAP injury and some other high grade tears. My surgery is April 7th. I'm dreading the surgery.

[@lashondahursey6116]

Why couldn't they do it ? How are you guys

[@KosukiFire]

I had to cancel my shoulder repair surgery, the surgeon didnt want to prescribe anyhting beyond tylenol. No narcotics, he said he doesnt believe in it... so im on the hunt now for a new doctor

[@bonniemartin4232]

How ridiculous. Doesn't believe in it. Well I hope you told him you don't believe in surgeons like him.

[@jeffblydenburgh5938]

I only used the Percocet for three days. I stopped that and used the Diclofenac Sodium, which is an ant inflammatory. Works like a charm. No pain whatsoever

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Percoset is oxycodone. If you you would have to take 10 percent to approach a toxic level of Tylenol. Also take benadryl if you get itching.

[@youdontwanttoknow5203]

No, it's not. It's not as strong as oxy.

[@AgronCaca-mt3rk]

I like to say that if it isn't drug oxico, hiydocse,or other drugs, that same patient needs .for same reason what you mensch perfinder & others those got on Philippine streets

[@youdontwanttoknow5203]

Can't take Tylenol and opioids don't give me constipation.

[@kristismith2010]

I had rotar cuff surgery an the nurses sent me home an HANDED the sling to my ride. I had Anastasia an i didnt come back to my rite mind for hrs after i got home. I obviously had to have surgwry again sn i NO thatsts why My son had to google how to put it on. Im goin threw it again its a nite mare. The doc said it was completely messed up an it was my fault. I so does my reg doc beleave it happened becuz they sent me home wit my sling not on. Whats your opinion, PLEASE. HE RUINED MY SHOULDER

[@Kb-qg5kx]

Yes it’s totally the hospital fault! I’m so sorry to hear that hope u feel better, but yea this is totally there fault rotator cuff surgery is a huge operation and needs so much care sending you home without a sling on is just insane

[@deepquake9]
