Re: Just had my surgery

Saw the ortho today. She said im very tight. (Tendons).
She said the tear was pretty severe she is not surprised.
Gonna add in overhead pulleys. To help with range of motion and stretching the tendons.
Work Restrictions are the same. Nothing has changed for now.
So dont know what work will do. Had to send everything to my lawyer and work. I am to continue therapy 2x a week.
She said closer to 6 month range for better range of motion better flexability.. /
Im able to jog /run. Do cardio. I was told do not push the arm past the point of exhaustion.
Even discussed my trt and referred me to a dr. In house.

You are making progress!

Re: Just had my surgery

Was in the process of buying a home before this surgery. So i cannot let this mess that up and affect my credit..

Today went to therapy. I am pretty dam sore.

Added in over head pulleys.

1. like doing delt raises, except using my left arm as the weight adding pressure to raise the right arm above the head in a delt raise. Hold for 5 sec.

2. Like a shoulder press. Using the left arm again as the weight and pulling and stretching out the right arm into a shoulder press motion. Hold for 5 sec.

Elbow isnt fully to the side while doing this but much farther then it has been.

This also helps rotating the arm/hand upward while my elbow is out toward the side.

3. One arm tricep ext. While holding a towel behind my back. The left hand is doing the extension upward above the head. While the right hand is holding onto the towel (trying to get motion going backward).

The goal is to be able to take the right arm and bend it behind your back. Hand aboit midway up your back..

Presently i cannot get my right hand even behind my butt cheek.. It sucks badly...

This was the worse of the three .. Painful is an understatement.

Therapist Did a lot more physical stretching me out and pushing my limits to the side and beyond my head... Im obliterated... Totally wiped out.

Also continue other exercises.

Will do foam rolling tonight and throughout the weekend to keep loose and also use a tennis ball behind and around my scapula.

Re: Just had my surgery

Check This out!!!

My therapist told me the nurse for workers comp called her.

said she was surprised and caught off guard. My therapist also said she (nurse )was rude and made it out that my ortho was mad..And she ( the nurse) wanted to get me back in and seen by someone else to change my restrictions that my orthp put in place.

Is this even allowed? Is she overstepping her bounds?

How can the nurse for wc try and have someone else change what my surgeon has instructed after she saw just saw me and reevaluated me.

Some crooked and under handed shit goin on here.

Going after loss of pay(incorrect) what im getting paid for and also loss of pay for this yr. And other stuff.
I shouldnt of even been down there on that job. Period! It was done because they new i didnt want to be down there. Then forced me to work with someone who couldnt physically do what they wanted done. He said he couldnt do it. He had a bad back! But they didn't care.

that's very unfortunate man but that's how a lot of business roll. the military is the same damn way. they will break you after the run you into to the dirt and the toss you away like a piece of garbage. then you have to fight the system in order to stay and do what you love or if you cant you have to fight the bureacrats in dc to pay you for what they did to you. it's everywhere unfortunately

Their goal is to stop paying for anything and get you back to work. I think she can say anything, but with an attorney and probably a long haul, things usually will go in your favor. In the mean time though, no income and that sux. Like guns mentioned, time to get a wc attorney. Keep working on your recovery, you are still number 1 !

Re: Just had my surgery

Went on a family vacation for a week.
Nurse even called me twice on vacation.
Next she called my therapist boss to try and get her in trouble.
Since ive been back we changed up a bunch exercises.
Added foam roller straight up and down the center of my back. I roll on it from left clavical tonright clavical.
Also on the foam roaller we do a (pec )flyes no weights. 2 sets
Also on foam roller we do an OH stretch try and touch the ground and then bring hands back to my chest.
All exercises have increased in weight.
Black bands on all exercises that i use bands.
While doing tricep ext/kickbacks. The right side/band snapped...lol i apologized. They said they have more.. I waited to do triceps last. Didn't want to wear down the bicep and shoulder.
Curls im on 7lbs. Will ask for 10lbs next week. They had me on 5lbs. Talked em up to 7lbs. Hope this iant the max lbs they have.
My range of motion has increased a lot. I can now get deodorant on both arms without using the wall or only my left hand for both sides.
Gonna start back up on my bpc157. See the ortho again on the 3rd of july. So i wanna press things a little now. I believe now the anchor in the shoulder for the bicep is stable and shouldnt come out. Now its all about getting range of motion back and strength. Still cant wipe my ass with my right hand.
Need to get the backward range of motion back. Cant bring my right hand up behind my back at all. I can only get to mid ass cheek.. Lol
Also, still cant rotate my arm into a shoulder press position.
Getting better, but a very slow process.
