myself. Am starting PT first, hopefully I can avoid surgery. The recovery sounds awful. Keep us informed on your recovery...a lot of CBers are at the 'body starting to fall apart' stage of life. 🙂

Just had full rotator cuff repair surgery. Any rehab advice? I'm 60.

Have you had it yet? Might be worth trying PRP before you do the surgery

Do not cheat on your rehab. Do exactly what they tell you and for every session. Communicate how it's going so

I've had 3 shoulder surgeries. 1st piece of advice. Have someone else control the drugs. If you need another pill, then

For me I spent a lot of time in my sleeping recliner playing video games. Plus

Every dude I know that didn't take their rehab seriously is a mess physically because of it. Sad and dumb
