Malt 379 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Stig, if you're anything like me you're going to be a right grumpy twat while you're in the immobilisation stage of recovery.. Not had the shoulder done but I had each leg braced up for 12 weeks each last year, and 4 out of each of those 12 weeks I had the movement restricted. All I can suggest is to do exactly what the doctor tells you to do until you recover.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say get it done now mate if it's giving you gyp. It obviously ain't going to get any better on it's own and if you put it off until you're older your body will find it harder to recover.

the_stig 6,614 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Same scenario here Stig Tendon in right shoulder tore thru ( rotator Cuff ) same diognosis Op job Left shoulder has a Bursary, if i dont watch it then it will also progress to a tear. While waiting for a Op ask for a cortisone injection. Helps no end. had em mate dont know what the waiting list is like round here .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
