[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 1909046, member: 113623"] I had my right labrum repaired in 2012 and had an unfortunate situation with going to school in one part of the state and having my family's insurance plan in another. Long story short I couldn't afford to go through PT for a dollar a minute without insurance so I decided to try and do it on my own. Didn't work, and I regret not trying harder to get help then. With that in mind, I echo everyone above who says do the PT and make the effort. As far as other recovery goes, my orthopedic surgeon was a ninja, in and out in 42 two minutes with the labrum tacked to the bone in two places. Was off pain killers in a few days, and ultimately got too cocky a few weeks after the surgery and jumped and attempted to grab something because it didn't hurt and I wasn't thinking about it. Went back into the sling with about two weeks of the worst pain I had ever had. Moral of the story is take it slow, even if it is feeling good. Like others have said, I have trouble drawing my CCW if it is too far behind my back, and some strength and range of motion loss. If I don't keep my upper body strong, the back of my neck and shoulder will throb when driving or standing for too long as they are compensating for the repair in the front. I am still recoil sensitive to this day. For me a big help is placing the butt stock almost straight on my pectoralis like I do when I am "tactical" shooting. I also use muzzle brakes and avoid 00 buck. I don't want to sound like a horror story, but rather a cautionary example of what not to do. [/QUOTE]
