SHOULDER LABRUM TEAR REPAIR | POST-OP WEEK 1

[@DreamKrazy2028]

Hey Kat, sending you all the love and prayers for a speedy recovery from your labrum tear! You're so loved and appreciated, and I know you'll come back stronger than ever. Take care!

[@k_finephysiques]

Thanks so much. Truly appreciate!

[@dylanbrewer1193]

So I’m getting my MRI for my labrum in three weeks hopefully or hopefully sooner but they are pretty sure I told my labrum as well. My shoulder will just dislocate whenever. But I hope you get a faster recovery.🎉

[@k_finephysiques]

Thank you! Hope you’ve been getting some PT in the meantime and get some relief soon!

Thank you for posting this and your other videos were informative. I have just received information regarding a cyst and a labrum tear in my left shoulder. Seeing the doctor about those results tomorrow. What was the deciding factor of surgery? I was trying to find out from your video how it happened, but didn't see anything. Can I ask how it happened?

[@k_finephysiques]

Unfortunately I don’t know what caused it, but likely the cyst was related to the tear! I had an MRI with contrast that showed the tear. Knowing that it would only continue to get worse and in turn make for a more difficult recovery I opted for surgery sooner rather than later.

First 24 hours post-surgery is the roughest. Get's better every day after that. I think I was off prescription paid meds after 48 hours. Sling was mostly optional and I basically stopped using it after a few days. My shoulder ended up freezing approx 3 months after surgery and I dealt with a frozen should for approx another 6 months afterwards. Ended up getting my other shoulder operated on for a blown out AC joint and that shoulder froze up after surgery as well! That freeze lated about a year and a half. Obviously everyone's shoulders are different and fingers crossed there's no freezing for you. Shoulders are fine now. Time heals all.

[@k_finephysiques]

oof! Sounds like quite the recovery. I'll be starting physical therapy in two weeks and cannot wait to get my shoulder moving some. Glad your shoulders are doing better now!

[@alexsp7086]

Having no sling after a few days is not a wise move at all. Max 6 weeks.

[@esits]

@@alexsp7086 I was informed there were 2 types of repairs. The "easy" one that only involved the use of a sling for a couple of days and the "more complicated one" that involved the use of a sling for 6 weeks. Fortunately, when they got in there and did their thing, it was the "easy" repair.

[@alexsp7086]

@@esits sweet, well I just had the complicated one it seems have to wear a sling for 6 weeks. So far the first 9 days suck :)) want to flush my sling down the toilet.

[@danieloconnell6306]

I just went through shoulder surgery on my left shoulder and had 4 osteochondromas and had a nerve block done

[@awilke86]

Talking all about the poop while he's trying to eat. So stunning and brave.

[@aliciabryant4963]

Hello, I recently found out I have a deep superior to postsuperior tear in my labrum and a parlabral cyst. Where did you feel pain at? I have lots of scapular shoulder pain?

[@xcalabur18]

Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Could you maybe explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

[@k_finephysiques]

Don’t remember much honestly 😅 I was clearly a little loopy already in this video. They gave me just enough IV sedation so they could safely administer the nerve block, then after they rolled me into the OR I don’t remember much! Haha

[@KaylaKbBush]

Idk why I’m so scared going through this surgery tmr as if I didn’t have this surgery on my other shoulder last year March 2023. Just terrified of having to go through this process and wanted to get this out of my mind sm

[@drmlatina]

I am here for the same reason 😢 my surgery is tomorrow morning and I am afraid of the aftermath even after being in pain for almost 3 years. Hope you are well and wishing you a Speedy recovery!❤️‍🩹

[@aliciabryant4963]

How was your surgery? Where did you feel pain specifically??

[@charlotteminichiello6260]

I’m 78 and need both arms done I can’t even imagine. They will do one at a time. Then I got to do feet spurs on top ready to call it in

[@k_finephysiques]

Oh my goodness! I hate to hear this. Prayers for a speedy and easy recovery ❤

[@MarioLopez-ms3wu]

What kind of a pain medication did they gave you i have surgery next month

[@dorothyknight195]

I’m day 3 of post op on my right shoulder as well had a type 2 SLAP tear

[@caroldawson3193]

The older u are the longer it takes to recover & if yr unfit b4 surgery n overweight my specialist surgeon told me n I will be in a sling for 4- 6 wks no movement lots of pain(I have low pain threshold) so its not going to be easy at all. See what happens when time gets closer n anxiety levels rise if it helps me lift with no pain long after then I deal with the pain crying frustration n anything else that arrives over the 12 mths it takes to fully heal if nothing goes wrong after surgery. Still a long wait time b4 if happens so preparing b4 hand will be helpful n not so much a burden on perso looking after me once I'm allowed to do things for myself n start pt n take arm out of sling. These pppl that take it out b4 they should will have more probs than its worth n surgeon's have go bk in do more repair because they don't listen n think because it's moving ok n minimal to no pain its healed.

[@hajnamcgrath8056]

I’m jealous of your sling. My surgery was two days ago but the sling I got is a very basic one besides it’s huge. Support nothing. I also didn’t get any nerve blocker. No explanation of my surgery. I have no idea what I’m doing is even correct or not.

[@AmyStanley-e4m]

I have a question i write with my left hand but i do everything with my right hand and arm which is the shoulder that's going to be operated on, my question is did you find yourself needing help at all with trying to use the toilet? I'm not trying to be gross but it's an honest question.

[@k_finephysiques]

Not gross at all! So many people told me to be ready for that, but I personally had no issues!

[@bunnybubs757]

How soon could you drive

[@k_finephysiques]

Hard to say! I didn’t drive for several weeks because I just didn’t feel safe doing so!

[@bunnybubs757]

@@k_finephysiques Thank you

[@Hope-rr2uq]

Hello ma'am how much is that surgery cost you

[@k_finephysiques]

I couldn’t say exact cost, but this varies highly depending on your insurance and what they will cover.

[@hunneyt65]

I’m booked in for this in July, but I’ve been told I can’t work for 6-8 weeks and I have an office job, I’m in the UK so maybe work insurance is different

[@k_finephysiques]

So interesting! I could have gone back to work within days technically, but with a more physically demanding job I had to take some time off.

[@caroldawson3193]

Everyone heals differently after surgery.

[@k_finephysiques]

Oh yes very much so!

[@dorothyknight195]

My pain has been less painful

[@k_finephysiques]

I’m glad your pain has been tolerable! Hoping is stays that way!!
