Over the last few years, my shoulder pain got worse and I was finally diagnosed with both a SLAP tear and Bankart lesion in my right shoulder. SLAP tear, as those of you who have had it are aware, is a tear in the upper half of the labrum in your shoulder. A Bankart lesion is a similar tear, but in the bottom half of the labrum. Had surgery on July 7, 2011 to fix both. So I am now just a bit over 8 weeks. However, although the shoulder is beginning to feel better, more stable, and I can move it more. There is still a lot achiness, particularly in the mornings, around the front near the upper bicep tendons. Some of this might be from the physical therapy I have been going through, and some might be still from the surgery because the tissues are still healing. For those who have had this similar shoulder surgery,
1. How long was your full recovery until you could play again and particularly serve?
2. How long did it take until the achiness went away in your shoulder?
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks,
