Great summary Stress, thanks.

I'm getting an anatomical TSR in August. I am not a golfer and have never played racquet sports. I do keep my upper body strong. (I'm 70 y/o, male, former marathoner, both knees replaced and right hip).

I'm wondering how long after TSR surgery I can get back to lifting weights the same way I did before surgery. I know the answer includes "slowly". I'm just wondering if there will be permanent limitations to what I can lift. If anyone has experience with this, please let me know, and thanks in advance.

Joe

I am at 6 months posr rotator cuff surgery. I am now allowed to lift 5lb per arm or 10lb total overhead, twice that to shoulder level until I see the surgeon in July. Then I expect the limit to double. FREE weights and resistance bands only, no machines. My PT reviews and approves each exercise and checks my form. More focus on form, range of motion and flexibility to prevent reinjury. I was told full recovery will be close to 2 years.
