[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2382038, member: 109113"] I had surgeries on both shoulders back in the late '80's, and my recovery is on-going. While I'm still very pleased with the outcome, I'm a good reminder to all that these repaired joints are never going to work like new ones do. PT is extremely important to get your money's worth out of the surgeries, and the exercises the physical therapist tells the patient to do must become a permanent part of your everyday life. I'm still doing the routine all these years later. In my case, there were lots of tendons & ligaments with partial tears, which they typically don't touch when doing these surgeries. They only fix the ones that are ruptured. That's where the regenerative therapies helped me out, and this has enabled me to do the weight training workouts that keep these joints fully functional. With more muscle mass surrounding the repaired joints, there is less strain on the repairs they made and less likelihood of a re-occurrence. Another thing I should mention is this : with repaired shoulder joints, we don't move our bodies in the manner we did before the shoulder injury and repair. This causes wear & tear on other joints that are distal to the shoulders, like the elbows and wrists. Even the joints in the hands can be affected, and it's by things as simple as how we swing our arms when we walk. These are the things I had taken care of with PRP, and things are still holding together after ten years. A lot of doctors told me that this isn't durable, but I have learned otherwise. Now it seems that they are using it in the initial recovery from surgery, which is encouraging. When the orthopedic surgeons recognize that these regenerative therapies have a place in their practice, they may get over the fact that they are often an alternative to surgery, which is why they have been opposed to their use. These treatments won't fix a completely torn & ruptured tendon - just the partial tears that often surround them. Fixing the partial tears before they become complete tears is my preference to having another surgery that takes me out of my workout program for four or five months. It's hard to get back the muscle mass that is lost in a hiatus of that duration. Starting over is difficult. Good luck with the rest of your recovery, and by next hunting season you will quite likely be shooting off your right shoulder again. [/QUOTE]
