I've had varying levels of rotator cuff surgeries plus a total replacement due to an accident.

Now the replacement needs redone plus the other one now needs replaced.

Think I'm in line for a free toaster after this or frequent flyer miles.

Crap!

I'm slated for rotator cuff repair on 3/21. Not looking forward to the month in a sling, another month of very limited movement, followed by months of PT.

What has been your recovery been like?

Do what your MD and therapist tells you. For the rotator cuff; my surgeon had me in rehab the next day. He's a prick but a good MD. My shoulders have just run out of repairable tissue and bone.

I'll bet your orthopedic surgeon has a nice boat.

Yeah, my brother had rotor cuff surgery.

I tore mine several times and had only had therapy.
He still has serious shoulder problems and mine are minor.
