I only have a rotator cuff repair to compare this to but it was far less painful and the recovery seems so much faster already. They sent me home with a nerve block device that lasted four whole days. Highly recommend requesting this. Then 1 day of Percocet so I could sleep then just Tylenol and meloxicam after that until about four weeks. PT is 2x a week and it’s hard but not recommended that I push until it’s painful so I don’t. I haven’t used a sling in a week and I have about 75% range of motion already. I’m an extremely active 65 year old woman (triathlons, surf, pickleball, ceramics, cook) and I’m not planning to give up any of it. I’ll keep you posted if you like. Feel free to ask specific question. I’m in Seattle and my doc was Dan Schwartz.
