What a great day, sun shining here in Nova Scotia. 14 degrees(63F)
First ride since having rotator cuff surgery on Sept 20th.

Felt great to ride again, shoulder was a little stiff reachin for 14" bars but I didn't give a chit.

Hopefully nice weather will hold

Hope everyone is enjoying their Fall riding season

 

Now that is the best post I have read today!

 

+1 good for you !!!

 

Nice!

I go in on Dec. 1st for my left shoulder, was wondering how long it would be before gettin back in the saddle. I had my right done back in 2002, it was a bad one. Turned out to be a 4 hour surgery to reconstruct it.

Fortunately the left isn't as bad this time, so hopefully I will get back on the scooter as soon as you have. Are you doing the post surgery therapy? How’s your other shoulder?

Good luck and heal fast!

 

Sounds like Great therapy..

 

good for you!! hope it keeps getting better

 

I have to have it done as well and have been putting it off. How long is recovery?

 

Guessing a recovery time is like asking which oil is better ( how did I manage to turn a surgery thread in to an oil thread LOL)

Anyways count on minimum 8 weeks if the surgeon is not to invasive and up to a year if he is.

Best advise I can give is get the sling off as quick as possible and start exercising.
Also I used a machine called a Hydro therapy pump. Basically it is a cooler full of ice and water with hoses that circulate the water around a pad on your shoulder. it is better than ie as you can put in on for hours at a time.
if you can get a hold of one I highly recommend it.

Good luck

Hope you all

 

These pumps are awesome. You'll go through alot of ice but man do they work well.

 

Thanks.

Actually I forgot about the cooler, I have one of those units stored away somewhere from my right shoulder surgery in 02'. Looks like I better dig it out.
