I had a partially torn rotator cuff years ago...did try physical therapy but it did not help. The surgery was really not all that bad...it was done by endoscopy. I do have a high tolerance to pain, though...so maybe it hurts more for some??
Prior to the surgery I was pretty uncomfortable with it.....it would be fine and then out of the blue I would feel these horrible stabbing pains. Never really knew what precipiated it.
I think the post surgical discomfort was less than the pain prior to the surgery. |
