Rotator Cuff

It usually takes between four and six months to fully recover from rotator cuff surgery. The first couple weeks after the surgery, the arm has to remain immobilized; after this, physical therapy begins and becomes more intense over the weeks to follow. A person's overall health, whether they smoke, and if their blood sugar is controlled (if they have diabetes) can all make a large difference on how well he or she will heal from the surgery and how quickly he or she will be able to have full use of their arm again.

Usually after the first week it starts getting better, but it depends on you following doctor's advice. I had this procedure 2 years ago, for the first week it was VERY VERY rough but the next week it was better by the third week, it was back to business as usual. the first week is important, no activity at all.

I had rotator cuff surgery and was in a sling and immobilized for 1 week. Then, went to physical therapy and was told to do a few exercises letting my arm drop down to my side and just let it move in small circles...moving it with the momentum of your body. The Dr. also told me to leave it out of my sling at home..but never to try to raise it above my shoulder height, or to try and reach my hand where I could not see it. When going out in public, to wear my sling. Every week I attend physical therapy. I am at week 4 and being able to do most normal movements..except any lifting. I had arthroscopic surgery, and I am told it is very different from the way it used to be done, which I am sure it makes a difference with your recovery.

severe rotator cuff injury

The rotator cuff muscles are referred to occasionally as the SITS muscles. The Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor and the subscapularis. The Supras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Infras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(greater tubercle. The Teres minor originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Subscapularis originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(lesser tubercle). The function of this muscle group is to stabilize the shoulder joint. Hope this helps.

Primarily (90% of the time, especially in a resting position) this job is performed by the supraspinatus muscle, and is assisted slightly by the infraspinatus and teres minor. When you are lifting something, or actively using the arm it tends to be the larger deltoids muscle that will kick in and keep the humerus from displacing inferiorly.

this wil also depend on your worksetting. if you are into construction or something of that sort it could be up to 12 weeks. if it a desk job or of that sort, you could possibly return in 4-6 weeks.

I'm told that everyones body heals at it own pace. Two years ago my husband tore his rotator cuff it took about 6 months for him to stop feeling pain. L-lysine amino acid is great for speeding up the healing process and Bio Freez help with the pain also a cold press to reduce swelling every 2 to three hours.

Rotator cuff muscles all attach to the head of the humerus and act to seat the head of the humerus firmly in the glenoid fossa to prevent shoulder dislocation.

A dislocated shoulder means some/all of these muscles have been torn.

No fixed answer, sorry. It depends on personal health and type of wound. A young, healthy person usually recovers more quickly than an out-of-shape older person. A stab wound in the fatty tissue around the waist heals quicker than one to, say, a muscle in the upper arm, which heals quicker than one into a lung. And a stab wound to the heart usually never heals.

If you were hurt and received medical seervices these should be compensated if the fall was the fault of the store. Also if you suffered long term or permanant medical issues. Although most companies will pay something if you fall on their property there is also the question of whether this fall could have taken place anywhere -- was it the fault of the company or was it a common fall as individuals do everywhere -- such as a persons ankle giving out -- this is not the fault of the company. The more a company pays out for accidents whether valid or fraudulent the more likely the customer will pay in the end through pricing or cut customer service.

Approximately 5-10% of the general population is believed to have rotator cuff syndrome at any given time.It is not commonly found in individuals under the age of 20.males are more likely than females to develop rotator cuff syndrome.

What happened to my own arm and shoulder was that I suffered a rotator cuff

tear in my right shoulder, years ago, which still bothers me when trying to

lift heavy objects or if I should twist my arm in some way. I was offered surgery

at the time but decided the trauma of surgery was less desirable than coping

with the rotator cuff tear. I was wrong. If you should encounter such an

accident, by all means have the surgery if you're sufficiently well to undergo

it.

You're girlfriend's mouth. Obviously.

When it comes to workman's compensation, you can not tell what amount a person will end up being paid. Once the person has completed the medical treatment, they will then end up going to court. The court date is to decide how much of a disability the incident has caused the person. If the person has a full recovery they will not get as much as the person who can no longer do the things they would need to do on a daily basis.

The mild rotator cuff tonden refers to the muscles that connect the shoulder blade to the upper arm.

A majority of those with rotator cuff syndrome respond to conservative non-surgical approaches. Conservative therapies include.heat or ice.medication.cortisone injections.rest.reduction of activities that involve the movement of the arms overhead

Stop drinking milkshakes,beer,smokes,alchohol and anything that might disrupt th ebalance of your body.Junkfood is bad,fruit,vegetubles and fresh meat is the answer to happiness.

The workman's comp settlement scale for rotator cuff surgery depends on a variety of factors including how long the employee is off work and how serious the injury is. In general, employees can expect to receive two-thirds of their salary for this type of injury.

The "rotator cuff" is actually a group of 4 tendons so the symptoms will vary depending on exactly which one(s) is injured.

Most commonly people get pain when they try to raise the arm sideways (out to the side).

It depends if the tear is longitudinal or transversal.

Also, it depends on the technique that was used to image the tendon. I had a torn tendon which in the MRI appeard to be 40 TO 50% of the width and during arthsorcopic surgery the surgeon found out that it was 80% torn.
