[QUOTE="snakecharmer, post: 16353819, member: 279"] I have had both done. One from a motorcycle accident, the other just worn out. IMO the pain of that surgery is overstated. I took one narcotic the day after surgery with the first one, and took none at all for the second one (other than advil). The key is getting a good long lasting nerve block so that you can get through the initial day. I HATE narcotics, so personally I'd rather deal with the pain than the side effects of the drugs. Sleep will be your biggest issue for the first few weeks as you will need to sleep in a way that you put no pressure at all on the shoulder you had done. I figure out how to wedge my body in the corner of a sectional and slept just fine. It was about a month before I went back to my bed. What DOES suck is the PT. Your shoulder is going to be frozen when it comes out of the sling, and getting it to move again isn't gonna be the funniest thing you ever did but I would not call it agonizing. DO THE PT. I did and I have ZERO pain out of either. It's not that you will not have some limitations. Range of motion may not fully come back for a year and there are certain things you really ought to avoid after the surgery for risk of tearing it out again. I was told to avoid dips, full weight pull-ups and full range push-ups for good. That's not a big deal you can work on the muscles in other ways. The longer you wait, the harder the repair is.
