I'm scheduled for rotator cuff surgery on April 13th. I have two fully torn muscles and possibly a tendon. Not looking forward to this. I've had two ACL reconstructions, but the knee is a much simpler joint than the shoulder. I'll be the big 5-0 in a couple of weeks, so I'm no spring chicken, and I'm not quite ready to be put out to pasture either.
I've heard enough horror stories about this procedure to make me anxious about what I'll go through.
Has anyone had this done? If so, can you tell me about your experience. On the scale of excruciating to "I want to die excruciating", how was the pain after the anesthesia wore off and through your recovery? How long was the recovery? In the end, would you say it was a success, and were you happy you went through it?
Thanks in advance!
