[QUOTE="nacob, post: 93929, member: 23410"] I am currently two weeks removed from rotator cuff surgery after dislocating my right shoulder at a local track. A rotator cuff is actually four different tendons that connect various muscles to the bones in your shoulder. A tendon does not repair itself. It must be surgically reattached to the bone by drilling holes in the bone and stitching the torn tendon to the bone. It was not hard to identify the difference between the nagging pain of a shoulder dislocation and a tear in the rotator cuff. Mt pain felt like someone stabbed me in the shoulder with an ice pick when I moved my arm in various positions. If this sounds familiar, then you better get checked out. There are different types of rotator cuff tears. One type involes complete separation of the tendon from the shoulder. If you have this injury and do not get it repaired, then, by waiting, it may become a permanent condition. After time, the recessed tendon shrinks and can no longer be reattached. From what I have read this should be avoided at all costs. After surgery I will be in a restricted sling for 3-4 weeks. After that, I begin rehab to strenthen the tendons in my right shoulder. Rehab will be complete in 6-9 months. The good news is that I should be back on my bike in about five weeks (two months after surgery). My doctor explained to me that riding does not require the same tendon strength as other activities like weight lifting. So, although 100% rehabilitation is several months away, I will be able to ride in the near future. Good luck. I hope you do not have a rotator cuff tear. [/QUOTE]
