Avatar n tn What underlying conditions if any do you have in your shoulders? I have had 3 shoulder operations and this is one of the things they warned me about happening if I did not follow all of my therapy after the operations.
Avatar n tn Since this last surgery, which was a about 2 years ago, my left shoulder started hurting - it started during the recovery phase of the 3rd surgery - compensating for loss of the right arm I imagine. Over the past 2 years, it has come and gone. About 3 months ago, I was playing on the monkey bars with my 5 year old (showing off) and ended up hanging suddenly using only my left arm and felt something pop/pull severly.

Avatar f tn HI After having subacrominal bursectomy by arthroscope in december 2009 i developed a post-op frozen shoulder. I had no internal or external rotation and could only raise my arm behind my back to my hip pocket on my jeans. In march 2010 i had manipulation under anestetic with arthroscope and the surgeon achieved 160 degrees of movement. I have had physio therapy twice a week and have also been receiving hydrotherapy twice a week.
Avatar f tn ve had two laparascopic surgeries (gallbladder and staging) and what really helps recovery time is to walk around slowly and carefully and not just sit like a lump and feel sorry for yourself- lesson learned the hard way :). It varies from person to person, you may feel ready to be back at work in a couple days, it may take a week, but i doubt it will take any longer than a week. good luck!
Avatar f tn I am a disabled Veteran. Due to my service connected shoulder injury I have had 7 operations. In the time I had the operations over the course of 4 years I was on OxyContin for three and a half years of it. Finally the shoulder felt better but the pain meds were quite hard to stop on my own so I went to rapid detox doctor in Manhattan that had me on a ton of things.
Avatar f tn Pain governs my life as does this disability. Unfortunately, it will take some time for this doctor to obtain authorization and a facility in which to perform my operations because I only have Medicaid. I had contacted every single ortho in LA. Each and every one of them refused to see me. I even wrote to our "Governator" with no response. It was pure luck, fate, God, whatever that this kindhearted surgeon stopped to see my while I was on a gurney waiting for cataract surgery.

Anyone had more than one operation and why?Is the operation worse the second time?
Avatar n tn The week before my swelling arose, I was very constipated for about 6 days and was hardly able to pass any stools. I have several questions about my condition, recovery time, and swelling. My Epididymis is still slightly swollen and hardened almost, it is not very painful however I sometimes have a very acute pain. My Vas Deferans (sp?) is very slightly swollen still however I feel no more pain in my groin.
Avatar f tn My son has had 2 Weaver-Dunn procedures to repair a separated shoulder but it has once again separated and the bone is sticking up quite a bit and putting pressure on the existing scar. Will it heal on it's own or should he seek additional surgery? He has been experiencing numbness in the shoulder and upper arm areas and is in constant pain. He is using a sling and is restricing physical movement. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn My question is about recovery time. Those of you who know me know that I had a tumor removed and a total hysterectomy with "all-clear" for cancer two weeks ago tomorrow. You all have figured out I'm not a very patient person when it comes to myself, but, hey, it's been two weeks. The past couple of days I've been walking in the brisk Michigan air to get some color back in the cheeks(Darn Iron isn't working fast enough, either).
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, A bit of background...I have a 7-8cm cyst on my left ovary. CA125 of 10, ultrasound shows no sign of a malignancy, so they are not too concerned about that. Dr. I was seeing wasn't confident in doing a cyst this size laparoscopically so he referred me to another Dr who is apparently an "expert" in removing large cysts like this by "bagging" it and removing it that way through the tiny incision instead of having open surgery.
1570782 tn?1296689507 Hello and welcome! I havent had the surgery but have had the discussion with my NS about the expectation afterwards. I am awaiting a surgery date now. He said that it can take a long time and it is common to have up's and down's with recovery. So try to take it easy and give your body time to heal. It could take a long time as Selma said since we all heal differently.
Avatar m tn There is variance in recovery times. Some patients were back at work in five weeks others several months. Your current health status may put you in the several weeks category. For some insight, right after the surgery, you will be kept in ICU unit and closely monitored for around 24 hours to 48 hours. . If there are no complications, you will leave the ICU and be placed in a normal hospital room where you can recover.
