I am on week 13 post op - YEA!! You and your videos have been a God send for me. I'm 69 years old and had a complete tear in my RC, and I was scared to death of the surgery. I can't tell you how much better prepared I was for this whole process of surgery/recovery due to your videos and positive attitude. Thank you to the moon and back!
Wow! Thank you for this comment. It makes me realize making these videos and sharing my journey from surgery, to recovery, to rehabilitation was worthwhile for more than just myself. Little did I know I’d be having back to back surgeries two years ago and finding my own videos helpful the second time around. I am currently one year post surgery on my right shoulder. And two years on my left shoulder. Both had the exact same things done that were in the description of this video. Wishing you the best and keep staying positive! It is a long difficult exhausting journey, but I promise it is well worth it. Keep me posted on how you’re doing or if you have any questions.
Hi, how do you feel now? ROM comes back? Any pain by now? I am 65, 5 weeks post op. Supraspinatus full tear. Sling off at week 3 and started PT, because I have frozen shoulder too. ROM is still very bad.. sometimes have pain. I wonder when I can recover. You are the latest one who puts comments. I hope you already have recovered.
This is very encouraging. I’m a 67 year old woman, walk 8 miles a day and am trying to prepare for this surgery. I’ve watched several of your videos and appreciate your tips and advice. Thank you
It took my until week 12 to be OK having had the surgery and month 6 I finally was saying I was glad I did it. Now at month 10 my left shoulder is better than my right! Bad news is I will probably need the right shoulder done also, but at least I know how amazing it feels to have a fully functional shoulder back! You got this Martha!
Thank you for documenting your journey. These are so helpful in level setting my expectations. I will have rotator cuff surgery in 2 weeks and I too am looking forward to getting back to a life of fitness and activity. Best of luck Anne!
Best wishes and you will be so happy you did the surgery! It will take many weeks to believe that because the first six weeks are honestly tough. But I’m in week 16 now and am so happy I did the surgery. I’m slowly getting back to my level of fitness, but I can actually see the bright light of getting back to being 💯 soon enough.
Best wishes and be happy! Stay positive and patient with your recovery. ❤️🩹 I’ll be making these videos to document the entire year long rehab and recovery this surgery takes.
Once you start doing physical therapy, it makes a world of difference. And especially at three months of physical therapy total you will notice a massive leap and range of motion. But I will say that the strength that you once had will take up to a year if not two years to get back to your full self. Just keep being patient, positive and persistent. A mantra I use, as I am rehabilitating now on my other shoulder through the same exact massive tears and recovery.
Thank you for this video i am 4 weeks out and this will help funny thing is my strei strips are still on open cut Tendon transfer from back it’s sooo uncomfortable to sleep still first day PT today Still minimum ROM Thanks again have a great night or day Have a speedy and easy recovery
Speedy recovery ❤️🩹 to you also! Sleep will eventually be comfortable again. I’m finally sleeping great again but I’m about 4 months out from surgery now. Be patient and positive because this recovery is a marathon not a sprint. Your ROM will get better. Week 11 was my big change.

Thanks for the videos, I am going in today in about 3 hours for my shoulder surgery. I’m a bit nervous.

Me too. 1 month ago Monday 😊..no setbacks but I'm a bit behind on Anne 🤔
Hope you are doing well!
Just starting week 4…I’m excited to do start my cane exercises and begin to regain more ROM! I go to PT tomorrow 🎉

good morning i have a question at
6 wks postop did you still have trouble sleeping on your back or side i had a tendon transfer from my back along with the rotator cuff surgery just wondering if you did what did you do to be able to sleep as of last Friday i finally got out the sling was 6wks with sling still gotta take it easy because of the tendon transfer
Also did or do you have pressure felling in your collar bone?
@@lilshorty14 I had pain around the bone but mainly in the chest and bicep area.
Wondering did you have a complete tear of the supraspinatus ?
Jan, I did have a full thickness tear (complete tear) in the supraspinatus tendon and I had retraction also.
now you can do activities again without a sling? just uploaded again
Sure can! Thanks
Thank you for all of this information? At what week did you actually moved your arm overhead without any resistance?
I am not exactly sure of the exact week. My guess is that it was somewhere around 4 months.
Did you wreck your shoulder snowboarding? Do you still board after surgery?
No. It was a lifetime of use. One snowboard fall maybe have just been the last straw though.
I removed my sling, week 4. How come you still have your sling on? Thank you
6 weeks for the massive surgery I had is the recommended time no matter what surgeon you have.
My surgery is coming up in 10 days. Want to see what's in store for me.
I also watched videos to help me prepare. I was so glad I did. Good luck 👍🏻
How do u go about determining the amount of degrees.?
My physical therapist measures 📐 them with plastic protector at my therapy sessions.
How many days a week do you have physical therapy?
I had PT twice a week for 3 months and then once a week for months 4-6
Which is your dominant arm?
My right, however I have bad news to share in my year video coming out next week about my right shoulder.
