| Feb. 7, 2015 Bob21 47 posts | Rotator surgery New poster here. 52 yrs old. AAA Team. Just had rotator surgery this week on non-throwing arm. Supraspinotis torn. 2 anchors. Started rehad PT already. Had the other shoulder done in 2010 so I know the drill on the throwing arm, but wondering since it the non-throwing arm, chance of playing by June/July?? Thoughts of you that had the off arm surgery? Thanks |
| Feb. 7, 2015 Rainmans 42 posts | I severed my rotor cuff on my throwing arm. It required arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery which required four anchors, repair of the torn labrum cartilage, and removal of bone spurs -- 3 hours of surgery. I attended all of the therapy sessions and continued the exercises along with light weight training. One of my therapist was a baseball picture and he gave me throwing exercises that were a slow progression to increase accuracy and velocity. I was able to play approximately 6 months later but was cautious, somewhat apprehensive, and there was some pain and soreness so I took it easy. I was able to reach full throwing ability in about 18 months without soreness or concern about re-injuring my shoulder. Individual result vary. |
| Feb. 7, 2015 TexasTransplant Men's 70 516 posts | I had similar surgery on my non-throwing are in early Feb, 2010. Started playing the first of August that year. Still got a bit of a twinge when I tried to fully extend for a catch; that didn't go away until the next season. I had no surgery related trouble with swing (lots of people have told me I have other problems with it). |
| Feb. 7, 2015 Boog3434 Men's 50 17 posts | I had the non-throwing arm rotator cuff surgery in February of 2012. It was torn in half. The surgeon recommended that I take a full year off and rehab it. I did what they said, and I am glad I did! It takes quite a while to get back to normal! Not as young as we used to be! Good luck! |
