Bicep Tendinitis/SLAP Tear, Rotator Cuff -- Upcoming Surgery
Hey ladies and gents --
Haven't been on the forum in a little bit, and in the gimp central since my big shoulder separation/AC Joint/CC ligament replacement surgery a couple years go. was hoping to not be back so soon, but here I am.
This time it is the same shoulder as the previously repaired one. Cannot pin point it to one specific fall, and doc says its usually a combo of overuse and accidents. Noticed the bicep pain the most after falling off an air at Whitefish in early March. Did 2 months PT -- only made it worse. Cortisone shot last week for temporary relief.
Doc says he is hopefully he can just cut the bicep tendon, drill it into the hummerus and call it a day. Fingers crossed the Labrum/Rotator cuff isn't worse.
Delaying surgery until after labor day -- want to use my DH season pass at least a couple times, and finish up the Firefighter classes I am currently in. They don't seem to make it worse, but again, a fall could change that.
Nothing really else -- just in that super bummed out phase (knowing it could be way worse, so all good). Its the nature of the game we all play. Just back on here to get hyped and keep the positive vibes. Cheers and if anyone has any experience, any input is welcome. Surgery is in Philly area, doc seems solid.
