I am stopping by to see if anyone has ever had rotater cuff and labrum tear surgery? I am facing the dreaded knife on July 14th and would like to get an idea as what to expect. I talked about my rsd with my ortho and he has agreed to have a nerve block before surgery. He is aware of rsd and that is a big plus in my mind. I am scared that the rsd in my left hand will try to move in its nearest relative to my shoulder. One of the worst things about the injury to my shoulder is my ability to carve my horses. I am not able to stay at it for hours like I used too. Now I'm lucky if I can carve for 15 minutes. It has taken a toll emotionally as well.
I would like to get as much info as possible.
Have a great painfree day,
Kathy
