You go to the neurosurgeon and they say you need a fusion rather quickly, then go for an MRI on your shoulder 3 hours later and have a torn rotator cuff and labrum and then see that Irma is coming right for you! Things happen in threes!
What type of Fusion did you need rather quickly? I ask because I was told that if I didn't have the surgery, I'd probably be paralyzed in a couple-6 months. I had it done....no fun.You go to the neurosurgeon and they say you need a fusion rather quickly, then go for an MRI on your shoulder 3 hours later and have a torn rotator cuff and labrum and then see that Irma is coming right for you!

Yeah good news is I know the surgeon! I've actually rehabbed a bunch of prior patients.Had 2 replacement shoulder this past winter and they are wonderful. Shoulder surgery has progressed a lot, get a great surgeon!
IMHO the rehab is the key. My pt guy worked my tail off. I now have full range of motion in both and best of all...no pain at all. Totally off all pain meds too. I now do windows, to my wifes pleasure!!Yeah good news is I know the surgeon! I've actually rehabbed a bunch of prior patients.
