💯 use sunblock from as soon as your wounds are healed and also try to keep them out of the sun if possible.

It’s great to hear sharing my experiences and journey has helped you! Best wishes and here if you have any questions.

That’s outstanding! Congrats 🎉

That’s how I felt many times. Sleeping was a massive struggle. I promise it does get better ❤️‍🩹 and someday soon you will be glad you did all of this. Here if you have any questions. Best wishes and hoping better sleep for you soon.

It’s great to hear my videos have helped you! How are you doing? Here if you have any questions. I agree also, many videos were unintentionally inaccurate because they weren’t made by someone actually going through this rehab process.

I'm doing much better, thanks for asking. This is week 7, and I'm ready for it to be over, but I know I have many months of "poor me" ahead. 😊 I hope you're also doing well in both (yikes!) shoulders. Ok, off I go to your next videos. Take care, Anne, and thanks again for these.

@@sara1starbuck41best wishes and you got this! I did have to chuckle at your many more months of “poor me” because it is so truthful and accurate. I felt the same, so no shame! 😅

What do you mean?

@@AnneSchmidt it's so hrd to mix the acid with the correct base nowadays, as anyone could sneak into a lab and mix any acid with any base and make another chemical for medicinal purposes

For the first days you will absolutely need someone! And honestly for a week would be better. Check ins after that or meals made would be next. Showering, dressing and other normal life activities are challenging and take more time. Also, I couldn’t drive for 6 weeks so I needed people to take me to PT, work, shopping, … How did it go? How are you doing? Feel free to ask me questions! Hope you are well and your surgery went well. Remember to be patient, positive and persistent.

Hi Anne, surgery went well this past Monday. The pain post surgery wasn’t bad at all, since I was in such immense pain prior to surgery. Today is day 5 post surgery and feeling great. Like u you I live a very active lifestyle, so being in a sling for 6 weeks will be a test, but just need to remain positive. Thank you for getting back to me and have a great weekend! :)

Great news! Keep up with PT and icing was super helpful even many weeks into recovery. Best wishes on your rehabilitation.

I have had similar issues and usually it’s just I pushed it too far. In a week my ROM is fine and sometimes weirdly better. Kinda like ai had scar tissue I broke through by over doing it at these later months. At a year I still don’t have my shoulder ROM matching. Very close. But I am very flexible so my goals are high. How are you now? Since my response is delayed.

Wow! Thank you for this comment. It makes me realize making these videos and sharing my journey from surgery, to recovery, to rehabilitation was worthwhile for more than just myself. Little did I know I’d be having back to back surgeries two years ago and finding my own videos helpful the second time around. I am currently one year post surgery on my right shoulder. And two years on my left shoulder. Both had the exact same things done that were in the description of this video. Wishing you the best and keep staying positive! It is a long difficult exhausting journey, but I promise it is well worth it. Keep me posted on how you’re doing or if you have any questions.

You're welcome! ☺️

Sure is! Cooking is chemistry.

My physical therapist does the Gua Sha technique. You can do that technique on yourself, but I would say because this is going to be on your back and your shoulder region, it would be very hard to do yourself. Some weeks at physical therapy I didn’t make progress like I wanted to, but I always had improvement every few weeks and major gains each month with physical therapy. I am still going to physical therapy once a week to get full range of motion back on my right shoulder. I have better range of motion than most people and we’re trying to match my left shoulder that was worked on two years ago. That way, I have symmetrical shoulders. I’ve started weightlifting and I need to be able to handle that same weight on both sides. Thank you for reaching out and feel free to ask anything else related to surgery, recovery, and rehabilitation from rotator cuff surgery, SLAP tears, and bicep tenodesis. My physical therapist did do dry needling on me and we did find that helpful. However, once my scar tissue or pains were located near the lungs and we weren’t seeing the benefits as much as we’d like, we switched to the Gua Sha technique. Also, you will need to have an upbeat positive mental attitude. It is absolutely imperative to have a full recovery from the surgery.

It doesn’t matter what type of chemical equation it is, the coefficient represent the mole amounts in a any balanced chemical equation.

Thank U!

😊

With rehabilitation and dedication to your physical therapy, at a year, you should be able to lift close to that amount of weight if everything goes as planned. It also depends on your physical fitness beforehand. Usually the stronger and in better shape you go into surgery, the better your rehab goes. I would say it doesn’t hurt to look for other types of work that may not involve that amount of lifting repetitively. You should be fully healed at a year, but will definitely not be as strong as you were before surgery. It takes up to two full years to get back to your full strength by doing some weightlifting and strengthening. As well as lots of stretching!

Thank you so much ​@@AnneSchmidt

It’s wonderful to hear that my video helped you with your final today. Thanks for the wonderful comment. Best wishes in your studies.

Thank you and I completely understand. I have had more struggles with my right shoulder and am still going to PT once a week yet in month 11. I do plan to make more tips videos, since I have learned a lot having back to back years of this. Hopefully I can share some helpful advice. I am glad I had both shoulders fixed now, but I will say I wasn’t sure of that many times these last two years. Best wishes and keep me updated. Stay positive, persistence, and patient with yourself. This rehabilitation is a long process, but know you will get better ❤️‍🩹 in time!

@AnneSchmidt Thanks for responding! I have friends that had a shoulder replacement and they are recovering much quicker. I'm thinking of getting a second opinion before I do my other shoulder.

Every shoulder surgery and recovery is different. I can tell you that between my left shoulder rotator cuff surgery and my right shoulder, it was very different. And I had the exact same surgeon and physical therapist. But it never hurts to have a second opinion. Best wishes!

Good luck!

I was extremely shocked the first time when I had my left shoulder worked on about two years ago, how difficult of a journey this really was. So when I had to have my right shoulder completely fix the same way I knew I was in for another long year. I will say that both shoulders had the exact same thing done, but did not respond to physical therapy the same way. I had the exact same surgeon and the exact same physical therapist. Keep doing what you’re doing and attempt different techniques. Such as the dry needling and maybe this Gua Sha technique. Sometimes the recovery is just different, and that’s just the way it is. I found that was absolutely true with my left arm versus my right arm. Keep me posted and best wishes. Stay positive, patient and persistent. It will pay off!

You are very welcome and thank you for the kind comment. Best wishes!

It’s great to hear my videos have been helpful! Making some new ones with tips that I have accumulated over the past two years of back-to-back rotator cuff surgeries and rehab. I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for my right shoulder rehab. Almost back to full range of motion and building my strength. Thank you for your comment and wishing you the best.

I wasn't prepared for the mental struggle that is required on this journey. The mental game is huge. I'm glad you are progressing well with your right shoulder. I couldn't imagine doing it twice. Thank you once again Anne. All the way from Australia. 🫡

@@naturevideos.8802 you are 💯 correct and it’s absolutely amazing to hear other people’s similar stories of recovery from all over the globe building a community of rotator cuff rehab patients. The mental struggles with this recovery ❤️‍🩹 and rehabilitation are very challenging. Overcoming the physical challenges is only one part of a having a full recovery from this surgery. There is the obvious physical trauma to overcome, but also mental and emotional trauma to overcome. Keep the faith and stay the course. You got this!

Thank you Anne.🙏

@@naturevideos.8802 you are so very welcome! Best wishes ☺️

You are very welcome!

You are so very welcome and it’s nice to hear my videos helped you. It’s a long tough journey, but I promise it is worth it to get you full range of motion back and after all the rehab, be pain free. Best wishes and keep me posted! And here if you have any questions.

@@AnneSchmidt thank you so much! I am a bit nervous.

How did it go? Here if you have any questions. Wishing you the best!

I would guess at 3-4 months I could button and zip pants. But honestly, I have completely changed what I like wearing because of back to back years of shoulder surgeries and rehab. I prefer yoga pants or other pants you can just pull on over jeans and other dress pants that have buttons and zippers.

I ended up having back-to-back shoulder surgeries and rotator cuff rehabilitation as well as a bicep tenodesis because of wear and tear of being an athlete and other activities that I did to overuse my shoulders. I did a lot of painting, which is probably part to blame besides the athletic things. I had a lot of pain and the inability to sleep at night with both shoulders. I also had loss of range of motion. So when I had my second MRI that I had done the same thing to my right side as I did to my left. I would say if you’re suspicious, see your physical therapist and have them test your other shoulder.

Thanks for your reply

Thank you for the comment. Happy to hear the video helped!

I agree! I had my suprasinatus tendon reattached as well as bicep tenodesis done now on both shoulders. The rehab and rehabilitation is a long difficult process. But as a fellow athlete, it’s what we have to do to get back to being athletic. Currently in month 11 after my right shoulder surgery and at PT doing dry needling as well as Gua sha to eliminate the last of the issues to get full ROM. Best wishes and keep staying positive, patient and persistent with your rehabilitation.

Thanks for watching and hopefully the videos were helpful to you! It’s been a long second year of rehabilitation. I am now in month 11 of my right shoulder recovery. I had my suprasinatus tendon reattached as well as bicep tenodesis done now on both shoulders. The rehab and rehabilitation is a long difficult process. At my PT I am trying dry needling as well as Gua sha to eliminate the last of the issues to get full ROM. Best wishes and keep staying positive, patient and persistent with your rehabilitation.

I have no clue 😆.

Yay 😁

Yay! 😀 that’s great to hear.

You and I are in a small group to have back to back shoulder surgeries! It’s an ordeal for sure and both are so difficult as well as different. My right was way more challenging than my left. And my left was still very challenging! PT is an absolute must and I’m finally back to weightlifting at half strength now. I’m in month 11 soon and starting to feel stronger. It was a LONG process needing patience, perseverance and persistence. Lot of lows, but finally I’m in the upwards trajectory. I too couldn’t take the opioid meds. First time around I lasted two or three days. This last time I had one dose and stopped bc I had itching and threw up. Not fun 20 hrs after surgery. Best wishes and keep me updated on your progress. Keep smiling and stay positive.

@@AnneSchmidt Hi Anne. At almost three months for left shoulder. It is doing really well. Sometimes a little weak and stiff but so much better than right shoulder which is at 9 months or so. Both are so much better than before the injury but not anywhere near pre-injury. I am doing rom in the pool everyday and that is helping. It really is all about movement and pt. I hope you are doing well. It is a journey for sure

Great to hear the update! Day by day, week by week, month by month, and I’m finding year by year. I predict it will take me three years to get fully back to ROM, strength and endurance in my athletic abilities. But I’m so glad I had both shoulders done NOW, but a year ago I would NOT have said that. Best wishes and here if you have any questions!

😁

Thanks! Use what works as long as it is a correct representation of the molecule.

Thank you! Great to hear the video was helpful.

You are very welcome!

Yay! Outstanding 😁 and you are very welcome.

Ooh 😮 wow! Shows how serious this surgery, recovery and rehabilitation is!

@@AnneSchmidt yes it long process my shoulder never been the same because it comes with arthritis now hope your doing good tho with your recovery 🙏

Thank you and here if you have any questions! Best wishes.

There are rules for scientific notation adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. I’d you need help comment back and I can explain!

@@AnneSchmidt yes definitely Im struggling a lot in class I got a total of 15% in chemistry this is really bad and all my teachers said to quit my alevels too I need to prove them they're wrong!!!! I'm determined to get what I want !!

Hope all is well and you reached your goals for the class!

Best wishes with your recovery and rehabilitation! Rehabilitation for this is brutal and long, so staying positive and focused on the end goal is a must. Slow and steady is right! It’s nice to hear my videos have helped. You got this!

Painting walls, yard work, weightlifting, carrying and holding my two colicky baby boys, weightlifting, obstacle courses in the NROTC, basketball, kayaking, chopping wood, … just a life of hard work and also playing hard.

This right side was harder than my left, which I never thought was possible! I’m finally lifting more than 5lbs in month 10 of rehabilitation. This side was an absolute challenge. But I’m finally seeing the light at the end of this long two year journey.

@@AnneSchmidt I’m definitely NOT looking forward to this Surgery that’s for sure. I’ve had Several Knee Injuries/ Surgeries and surgeries on my hands from broken bones, which was no picnic either. But I hope this all goes smoothly.

Hope your surgery went well!

@@AnneSchmidt I’m 18 days post R/ Shoulder surgery. Got some good news and some not so good news. Rotator cuff was not Damaged, but Labrum was a complete tear / mess. Took 5 / 6 Anchors to repair that. Torn Bicep Tendon that couldn’t be repaired. And my Dr. says my Shoulder is pretty well shot , I’ll need a Shoulder Replacement in about 10-12 years if not sooner. I hope your recovery goes well.

Woah! That’s frustrating. Shoulder replacement is a whole other level. Hope you heal well and can get back to some normalcy. I had both bicep tendons reattached called bicep tenodesis. Sorry to hear yours could not be fixed. Keep me posted and here if you have any questions

Thank you! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear my video was helpful!

As the standard solution absolutely!

The depression that can be caused by this surgery, rehabilitation and recovery ❤️‍🩹 is more common than most would think. Becoming completely helpless literally “overnight” as well as not being able to drive, besides all the pain and sleep deprivation, is extremely challenging and hard for anyone else to understand that hasn’t gone through this. Just know, I totally understand how you feel and I promise it will get better in time. Take it day by day and week by week. I went through this two years in a row, because I had both my shoulders redone the same way. I’m in month 10 of my right shoulder rehabilitation. I underestimated how tough it would be my first time also (with my left shoulder), which is one of the reasons I made these videos. Best wishes and be patient with yourself. Do little things that bring you joy each day. You got this!

@@AnneSchmidt thank you, it really does help to know that I’m not alone and that I’m not crazy.

Hope you are doing well!

Thank you 😊 for this wonderful comment!

I hope it all goes well for you! Keep me posted and reach out if you have any questions or need advice!

@@AnneSchmidt Thanks 🙏, I really appreciate it.
