Default frozen shoulder surgery

The surgery was done by Dr. Holovacs at Mass General. I was very happy with the results on the shoulder, but still had ulnar nerve elbow damage and other TOS problems. Seat belt impact led to bone spurs tearing the inside of the shoulder joint up. He spent almost three hours in there cleaning things up.

Before the surgery, any sudden movement would put me on the floor in pain. Trying to pull open a bag of chips would finish me for the day.

Spent three days in the hospital on nerve block after the surgery so that they could move the arm. PT was not easy keeping the range of movement, but at least I do not worry about moving the arm quickly now. Drop me a PM if you would like to talk about it on the phone.
