I had shoulder surgery the end of March and had unbelievable arm pain after I started physical therapy 7 weeks postop. I tried all the antinflammatory pills. Three months in I got a steroid injection. But, it wasn’t until I went to a recommended chiropractor who slam-bang broke those adhesions that formed post-op that I got relief. Within one visit I was a new person. Pain is real! A limb immobilized for a long time is required for labral repair, but sucks when it comes to pain management.

I am in more pain now than before surgery..my doctor will not help, wont investigate..told me I was not in pain and if I wanted more drugs to see another dr. I do not want drugs..I want the pain to stop..If you have any suggestions I would appricate it…the pain, at times, is almost more than I can bare..gastic by pass and tummy tuck did not hurt this bad…knee surgery did not hurt this bad…I just want the pain to stop…

I had a rotator cuff repair/spur removal done 3 days ago and the heat rash associated with wearing the sling is FAR worse than the pain from my surgery. In fact I am in no pain unless I stress the shoulder in some way. Kudos to my surgeon!!
