So I was injured at work about 6 weeks ago, MRI arthrogram results finally came in, torn labral SLAP more specifically. Edema in ac joint. Waiting to go to a Ortho now but workers comp has drug their feet on everything thus far so I imagine another week or 2 before I hear anything...
For you all that have had this injury did you end up getting surgery, arthroscopic or otherwise, if you didn't did you do physical therapy? How is it now?
For what it's worth,
I'm 30, good shape and very active. Foreman Millwright/Welder is my trade. About 6 weeks later post accident I have about half strength in my arm and unable to raise overhead, getting constant popping and clicking when trying to rotate. Pain has subsided a good deal but still there and very sharp when moving certain ways. Range of motion is very limited so is my strength for anything requiring outstretched arm or remotely overhead is out of the question.
Google seems to show a 3-6 month recovery period post op, which absolutely sucks but also reading most younger people who don't undergo the surgery are likely to need it within 2 years with physical therapy alone. What were your experiences.
Thanks.
