[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1908988, member: 63925"] Shoulders are the most complex joint in your body and takes the most abuse. Everyone seems to take joy in beating the crap out of them. Heck I was a blacksmith for a while and certain horses took glee in tossing me around. I think the most constructive advice is to work closely with your PT person. They have seen all sorts of surgeries as well as all sorts of yahoos like us to gauge what we should be doing or not doing. My only recommendation is do not do any more than what you are asked to insure the repair has time to heal. If it is a tendon reattachment, be aware the tendon must be encapsulated back onto the bone for full recovery and that may take up to 18 months so depending upon the severity, listen closely to your PT. I think it is funny that most that have one major surgery know the other shoulder needs it as well but will "tough" it out as long as you can. I am back up shooting decent bow weight but will never go back to high 70's or even 80 since I know there could be consequences for doing so and I guess why? My right shoulder has been done twice now so it should last me until someone is wiping drool off my face. There are a lot of ways to shoot safely after surgery with sleds etc and even dropping down in bullet weights just to have the joy of shooting. [/QUOTE]
