Hi, I had rotator cuff surgery to repair my tendon on April 21st after my fall on February 4th. With any surgery, there is a chance of infection. I received the 1st dose of my retuximab right before and the 2nd dose after my surgery. I’m also taking immune suppressants meds every day. It was complete tear and my dominant hand. There was no question for me if I should or should not do the surgery. It was a given for me. I couldn’t do anything with that arm. With the necrotizing Myopathy, it is harder for people like us to deal with the daily tasks. My suggestion is just follow the protocol for the surgery for minimizing the chance of infections. I’m in rehab for my arm with PT and it is long way to go. I hope everything goes well for you and you won’t have to deal with any complications. Also, talk to your surgeon about it.
Good luck my dear,
