Surgery Update 1

Uncategorized

Overall my surgery went well last Friday. But my surgeon found extensive damage that wasn’t visible on the MRI. The rotator cuff tear was worse than he thought plus I had also torn my biceps tendon. So I have 12 screws instead of the 4 I was expecting. I’ll see him Thursday to get more details and to get him to explain the photos from the arthroscopic camera.

The recovery is going well so far. Pain was severe on Saturday but controlled well by the pain meds. It has gotten better day by day.I’ll give another update Thursday.
