Torn rotator cuff, torn labrum, and some ligiments and cartiledge. About 10 yrs ago. Went to therepy for months. Didn't help. Surgery, helped slightly. Shoulder is still much weaker than other one. Doing heavy lifting, I am basically one armed. Can't swing a baseball bat that well anymore. Or a golf club. Sorry to tell you, you have a lifetime of pain and inconvience.

Sounds like you got a raw deal and a bad surgeon. Sounds like you got arthritis, and need a joint replacement, which may exist, but I never heard of it.

funny trippy. Since I can't work out my arms, the damage isn't from that. It get re-agrivated by doind something simple as lifting a bag of groceries the wrong way. To tell you the truth, I don't think it has ever healed because everytime they x-ray or MRI my arm, it shows it.

I took a fall and jammed my shoulder in, and when I popped it out, I did more damage.
The docs gave me 2 choices, I was on the cusp of NEEDING surgery. I chose not to. I was a WSI, (think glorified lifeguard) and hence was always in the pool. For 1 month I alternated Heat and Ice. I semi moved it all the time.
After that month, I started swimming all of the time. Within 3 months, it was back to about 33%, over the next 6 months it finally came back to near 100%, it took another 3 months before it was fully 100%.
It helps to have a HIGH tolerance for pain...
So expect the whole process to take over a year to get back.
The funny thing was this happened only months after I had torn my ACL...
